Following are the Ten Commandments listed in Exodus 20
as given to the Children of Israel at Mount Sinai. The
Ten Commandments are also found in Deuteronomy 5. After
you have read these Commandments, you can test yourself
with this Ten Commandment test.
And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD
thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage.
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or
any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or
that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water
under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them,
nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate
me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love
me, and keep my commandments.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in
vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh
his name in vain.
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days
shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh
day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt
not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter,
thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor
thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days
the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that
in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the
LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
5. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may
be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
6. Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house,
thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his
manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass,
nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
