When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they camped in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mountain.

'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself.

and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."

All the people answered together, and said, "All that YHWH has spoken we will do." Moses reported the words of the people to YHWH.

YHWH said to Moses, "Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,

You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, 'Be careful that you do not go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.

Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.

It happened on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.

And Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke because YHWH descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.

YHWH came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. YHWH called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

Let the priests also, who come near to YHWH, sanctify themselves, lest YHWH break forth on them."

YHWH said to him, "Go down and you shall bring Aaron up with you, but do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to YHWH, lest he break forth on them."

"I am YHWH your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

"Do not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

but the seventh day is a Sabbath to YHWH your God. You must not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;

"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which YHWH your God gives you.

"Do not commit adultery.

"Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.

All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.

Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won't sin."

YHWH said to Moses, "This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: 'You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.

Neither shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.'

"If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.

If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.

then his master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him for ever.

If she doesn't please her master, who has married her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, seeing he has dealt deceitfully with her.

If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.

"One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,

If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.

"Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his possession, he shall surely be put to death.

"If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he doesn't die, but is confined to bed;

"If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a rod, and he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.

"If men fight and hurt a pregnant woman so that she gives birth prematurely, and yet no harm follows, he shall be surely fined as much as the woman's husband demands and the judges allow.

eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

"If a man strikes his servant's eye, or his maid's eye, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.

"If a bull gores a man or a woman to death, the bull shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the bull shall not be held responsible.

If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is laid on him.

If the bull gores a male servant or a female servant, thirty shekels of silver shall be given to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.

the owner of the pit shall make it good. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his.

Or if it is known that the bull was in the habit of goring in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall surely pay bull for bull, and the dead animal shall be his own.
