Deuteronomy 5

Gen Z: Deuteronomy 5

1Moses gathered all the homies, and was like, "Yo, Israel, listen up to the rules and vibes I’m dropping today, so you can learn 'em and live 'em."

2The Lord our God made a dope promise with us at Horeb.

3God didn’t just make this promise with our ancestors, but with us, all of us here vibing today.

4The Lord was chatting with you face to face on the mountain, right outta the fire, no cap.

5(I was standing between you and the Lord at that moment, sharing the word of the Lord, 'cause you were shook from the fire and didn’t wanna go up the mountain;) saying,

6I’m the Lord your God who brought you outta Egypt, from the land of struggle.

7You ain’t gonna have no other gods before me, periodt.

8Don’t be making any idols or replicas of anything in heaven, on earth, or in the waters below, that’s sus.

9Don’t bow down or serve them, 'cause I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the drama of the parents on the kids up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, fr.

10But I show mercy to thousands who love me and keep my commandments, that’s straight bussin.

11Don’t be using the Lord’s name like it’s a joke, 'cause He ain’t playing, no cap.

12Keep the Sabbath day chill and make it holy, just like God said, fr.

13Work hard for six days, get that grind in, you feel?

14But on the seventh day, it’s all about resting, no work allowed, periodt.

15Remember you were a servant in Egypt, and God pulled you out with mad strength; that’s why you gotta keep the Sabbath, no cap.

16Show love to your parents like God told you; it’ll make your life better in the land He’s giving you, vibes.

17No killing, that’s just savage.

18Don’t cheat, keep it real.

19No stealing, that’s sus.

20Don’t be lying about your neighbor, that’s just whack.

21Don't be trippin' over your neighbor's girl, house, or anything they got. Just chill, fam.

22God dropped some serious wisdom on all y'all at the mountain, like a straight-up fire convo, and wrote it on stone.

23When you heard that deep voice from the dark (the mountain was lit with fire), you all rolled up to me, heads of your tribes and elders.

24You were like, "Yo, our God just flexed His glory and greatness, and we heard Him from the fire. This is proof God chats with humans and is still alive."

25So, why we tryna get wrecked? This fire's gonna toast us. If we hear God again, we might just be done for.

26For real, who else has heard the living God speak from the fire and not been ghosted?

27You go close and catch all the deets from God, then tell us what He says; we’re down to listen and follow.

28God peeped your words when you talked to me, and He was like, "I heard everything this crew said, and they spoke facts."

29Wish they had hearts that truly feared me and kept my rules for good vibes for them and their kids forever!

30Go back to your tents, fam.

31Ayo, you chill here with me, and I’ll drop all the rules and vibes you gotta teach them so they can flex in the land I'm giving them.

32So, keep it 100 and do what the Lord your God says: no swerving left or right, periodt.

33Just walk in all the ways the Lord your God told you, and you’ll be vibin', living your best life, and extending your days in the land you’re about to own.

KJV: Deuteronomy 5

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,

10And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

11Thou 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.

12Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee.

13Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:

14But 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, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.

15And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that 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.

16Honour 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 land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

17Thou shalt not kill.

18Neither shalt thou commit adultery.

19Neither shalt thou steal.

20Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.

21Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour’s wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour’s house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

22These 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.

23And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

24And ye said, Behold, the Lord our God hath shewed 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.

25Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, then we shall die.

26For 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?

27Go thou near, and hear all that the Lord our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the Lord our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.

28And 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.

29O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

30Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.

31But 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 shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.

32Ye 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.

33Ye shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
