Because the Ten Commandments have been the basis for Western culture for almost 1700 years, students of English should definitely know what they say and what they mean. The Ten Commandments appear in two slightly different versions, once in Exodus and once in Deuteronomy.
因為長達1700年以來西方文化以十誡為基礎，所以學英文不可不知道其內容與含義。

### 猶太教從『申命記』5:6 算第一誡，影片有詳細解釋 ### 5:6「我是耶和華你的 神，曾將你從埃及地為奴之家領出來。
***
5:7 除了我以外，你不可有別的神。
5:8 不可為自己雕刻偶像，也不可做甚麼形像，彷彿上天、下地和地底下水中的百物。
5:9 不可跪拜那些像，也不可事奉它，因為我耶和華你的 神是忌邪的 神。恨我的，我必追討他的罪，自父及子，直到三四代；
5:10 愛我、守我誡命的，我必向他們發慈愛，直到千代。 ***
5:11 不可妄稱耶和華你 神的名；因為妄稱耶和華名的，耶和華必不以他為無罪。
***
5:12 當照耶和華你 神所吩咐的，守安息日為聖日。
5:13 六日要勞碌做你一切的工，
5:14 但第七日是向耶和華你 神當守的安息日。這一日，你和你的兒女、僕婢、牛、驢、牲畜，並在你城裏寄居的客旅，無論何工都不可做，使你的僕婢可以和你一樣安息。
5:15 你也要記念你在埃及地作過奴僕，耶和華你 神用大能的手和伸出來的膀臂，將你從那裏領出來。因此，耶和華你的 神吩咐你守安息日。
***
5:16 當照耶和華你 神所吩咐的孝敬父母，使你得福，並使你的日子在耶和華你 神所賜你的地上得以長久。
***
5:17 不可殺人。#版主註明：應該翻成『不可謀殺』才對#
***
5:18 不可姦淫。 *** 5:19 不可偷盜。
**
5:20 不可作假見證陷害人。
***
5:21 不可貪戀人的妻子；也不可貪圖人的房屋、田地、僕婢、牛、驢，並他一切所有的。」 |
(1st Commandment in Jewish tradition)
5:6 "I am the LORD your God, he who brought you from the land of Egypt, from the place of slavery. (2nd Commandment for Jews, 1st for Christians) 5:7 You must not have any other gods besides me.
5:8 You must not make for yourself an
image of anything in heaven above, on earth below, or in the waters beneath.
(4) 5:9 You must not worship or serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God. I punish the sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons for the sin of the fathers who reject me,
(6) 5:10 but I show covenant faithfulness to
the thousands who choose me and keep my commandments.

(3rd Commandment)
(7) 5:11 You must not make use of the name of
the LORD your God for worthless purposes, for the LORD will not exonerate
anyone who abuses his name that way.
(4th Commandment)
(8) 5:12 Be careful to observe the Sabbath day just as the LORD your God has commanded you.
(9) 5:13 You are to work and do all your
tasks in six days,
5:14 but the seventh day is the Sabbath
of the LORD your God. On that day you must not do any work, you, your son,
your daughter, your male slave, your female slave, your ox, your donkey, any
other animal, or the foreigner who lives with you, so that your male and
female slaves, like yourself, may have rest.
5:15 Recall that you were slaves in the
land of Egypt and that the LORD your God brought you out of there by strength
and power. That is why the LORD your God has commanded you to observe the
Sabbath day.
(5th Commandment)
5:16 Honor your father and your mother just as the LORD your God has commanded you to do, so that your days may be extended and that it may go well with you in the land that he is about to give you.
5:18 You must not commit adultery.

*** (9th Commandment) 5:20 You must not offer false testimony against another.
5:21 You must not desire another man's
wife, nor should you crave his house, his field, his male and female
servants, his ox, his donkey, or anything else he owns."
