Exodus 20:3: 'Thou hast no other Gods before Me. Exodus 20:4: Thou dost not make to thyself a graven image, or any likeness which is in the heavens above, or which is in the earth beneath, or which is in the waters under the earth. Exodus 20:5: Thou dost not bow thyself to them, nor serve them: for I, Jehovah thy God, am a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on the third generation, and on the fourth, of those hating Me, Exodus 20:6: and doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and keeping My commands.

Exodus 20:18: And all the people are seeing the voices, and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking; and the people see, and move, and stand afar off, Exodus 20:19: and say unto Moses, 'Speak thou with us, and we hear, and let not God speak with us, lest we die.' Exodus 20:20: And Moses saith unto the people, 'Fear not, for to try you hath God come, and in order that His fear may be before your faces &#8212; that ye sin not.' Exodus 20:21: And the people stand afar off, and Moses hath drawn nigh unto the thick darkness where God is.

Exodus 20:24: 'An altar of earth thou dost make for Me, and thou hast sacrificed on it thy burnt-offerings and thy peace-offerings, thy flock and thy herd; in every place where I cause My name to be remembered I come in unto thee, and have blessed thee. Exodus 20:25: 'And if an altar of stones thou dost make to Me, thou dost not build them of hewn work; when thy tool thou hast waved over it, then thou dost pollute it; Exodus 20:26: neither dost thou go up by steps on Mine altar, that thy nakedness be not revealed upon it.
