Deuteronomy, Chapter 05, King James Bible

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Deuteronomy chapter five, and Moses called all Israel and said,
unto them, here, o, Israel, the statutes and judgments which
I speak in your ears this day, that ye may
learn them and keep and do them. The Lord, our God,
made a covenant with us in Horeb. The Lord made

(00:20):
not discovenant with our fathers, but with us, even us,
who are all of us here alive. This day, the
Lord talked with you face to face in the mount
out of the midst of the fire. I stood between
the Lord and you at that time to show you
the word of the Lord. For you were afraid by
reason of the fire, and went not up into the mound, saying,

(00:43):
I am the Lord, thy God, which brought thee out
of the land of Egypt from the house of bondage.
Thou shalt have none other gods before me. Thou shalt
not make thee any graven image or any likeness of
anything that is in heaven above, or that is in
the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath
the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them,

(01:06):
nor serve them. For I, the Lord thy God, am
a jealous god visiting the iniquity the fathers upon the
children unto the third and fourth generation of them that
hate me, and showing mercy unto thousands of them that
love me and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take
the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for

(01:26):
the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his
name in vain. Keep the Sabbath day to sanctify it.
As the Lord thy God hath commanded thee six days,
Thou shalt labor 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

(01:47):
thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man servant, nor
thy maid servant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor
any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within
thy gates, that thy man servant and thy maid servant
may rest as well as thou. And remember that thou
wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that

(02:08):
the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a
mighty hand and by a stretched out arm. Therefore, the
Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the Sabbath day.
Honor thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy
God hath commanded THEE, that thy days may be prolonged,
and that it may go well with THEE in the
line which the Lord thy God giveth THEE. Thou shalt

(02:32):
not kill. Neither shalt thou commit adultery, neither shalt thou steal,
Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor. Neither
shalt thou desire thy neighbor's wife. Neither shalt thou covet
thy neighbor's house, his field, or his man servant or
his maid servant, his ox, or his ass, or anything

(02:55):
that is thy neighbors. These words the Lord spake unto
all your assembly in the mount out of the midst
of the fire of the cloud and of the thick darkness,
with a great voice. And he added no more. And
he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered
them unto me. And it came to pass when ye
heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness,

(03:17):
where the mountain had burned with fire, that he came
near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes
and your elders. And ye said, behold, the Lord, our God,
hath showed us his glory and his greatness, and we
have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire.
We have seen this day that God doth talk with man,
and he liveth Now. Therefore, why should we die, for

(03:40):
this great fire will consume us. If we hear the
voice of the Lord, our God any more, then we
shall die. For who is there of all flesh that
hath heard the voice of the Living God speaking out
of the midst of the fire, as we have and lived,
Go thou near and hear all that the Lord our
God shall say, and speak thou unto us, all that

(04:03):
the Lord our God shall speak unto thee, and we
will hear it and do it. And the Lord heard
the voice of your words when ye spake unto me,
and the Lord said unto me. I have heard the
voice of the words of this people, which they have
spoken unto thee. They have well said all that they
have spoken. Oh, that there were such an heart in

(04:24):
them that they would fear me and keep all my
commandments always, that it might be well with them and
with their children. Forever, Go say to them, get you
into your tents again. But as for THEE, stand thou
here by me, and I will speak unto thee all
the commandments and the statutes and the judgments which thou

(04:45):
shalt teach them, that they may do them in the
land which I give them to possess. It ye shall
observe to do. Therefore, as the Lord your God hath
commanded you, ye shall not turn aside to the right
hand or to the left. Ye shall walk in all
the ways it which the Lord your God hath commanded you,
that he may live, and that it may be well
with you, and that ye may prolong your days in

(05:08):
the land which ye shall possess.
