Exodus 20

Gen Z: Exodus 20

1And God was like, “Yo, listen up, I’m about to drop some knowledge.”

2I’m the Lord, your God, who pulled you outta Egypt, away from that bondage vibe.

3No cap, don’t have any other gods before me.

4Don’t be making any idols or images of anything up in heaven, on the ground, or in the water below.

5Don’t bow down or serve them, 'cause I’m a jealous God, and I’ll visit the drama of the fam on the kids for generations if they hate me.

6But I’ll show mad mercy to thousands who love me and keep it real with my commandments.

7Don’t use the name of the Lord in a sus way; He won’t let that slide.

8Remember to keep the Sabbath day lit and holy.

9Work for six days, then get all your stuff done.

10But on the seventh day, it’s the Lord's chill day: no work for you, your fam, or your squad.

11In six days, the Lord created the whole universe, the sea, and everything in it, then took a chill day: so the Lord blessed the sabbath and made it special.

12Show mad respect to your parents so you can live long on the land God’s giving you, no cap.

13No cap, don’t kill.

14For real, don’t cheat on your partner.

15Straight up, don’t steal.

16Don’t spread lies about your neighbor, that’s sus.

17Don’t be jealous of your neighbor’s house, their spouse, or anything they own, periodt.

18Everyone saw the thunder, lightning, and heard the trumpet blaring, and the mountain was all smoky: they were shook and kept their distance.

19They told Moses, "You talk to us, and we’ll listen, but don’t let God chat with us, or we might die."

20Moses was like, "Chill out, fam: God just wants to test you, so you keep it real and don’t sin."

21The crew kept their distance, while Moses vibed closer to the thick darkness where God was chillin'.

22The Lord told Moses, "Yo, tell the Israel fam, you’ve seen me chat with you from heaven."

23Don’t be making silver or gold gods; that’s sus.

24You gotta build me an altar of dirt and bring your burnt offerings and peace offerings, like sheep and oxen: wherever I put my name, I’ll pull up and bless you, no cap.

25If you make me a stone altar, keep it raw, no fancy cuts: if you use tools, you just messed it up.

26Also, don’t climb steps to my altar, or else your nakedness might get exposed, fr.

KJV: Exodus 20

1And God spake all these words, saying,

2I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4Thou 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:

5Thou 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;

6And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

7Thou 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.

8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10But 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:

11For 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.

12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

13Thou shalt not kill.

14Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15Thou shalt not steal.

16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

17Thou 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.

18And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.

19And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

20And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.

21And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

22And the Lord said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

23Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.

24An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.

25And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

26Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
