Deuteronomy 5:5

Verse 5 of 33. The 5th of 34 chapters in Deuteronomy, in The Law.

1And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.

2The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

3The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.

4The Lord talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,

5(I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to shew you the word of the Lord: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,

6I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

7Thou shalt have none other gods before me.

8Thou shalt not make 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 waters beneath the earth:

9Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto 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,
