Page 3 - The Ten Commandments

The Ten Commandments. Each Karaite needs to know these.

1) I am יהוה thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.

2) Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any manner of 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 unto them, nor serve them; for I יהוה 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 showing mercy unto the thousandth generation of them that love Me and keep My commandments.

3) Thou shalt not take the name of יהוה thy God in vain; for יהוה will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.

4) Remember the Shabbat day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work; but the seventh day is a Shabbat unto יהוה thy God, in it thou shalt not do any manner of work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor the stranger that is within thy gates; for in six days יהוה made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them and he rested on the seventh day; therefore יהוה blessed the Shabbat day, and hallowed it.

5) Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which יהוה thy God giveth thee.

6) Thou shalt not murder.

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 man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
