[Note] that in the tablets written by God these things were written: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 1) There will be no other gods for you except me. 2) You shall not make for yourself an idol or image of anything, as much as is in heaven above or on earth below or in the water below the land. You shall not make obeisance to them nor serve them. 3) You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in an irreverent way. 4) Remember the day of the sabbath and keep it holy. 5) Honor your father and your mother so that it may be well for you and so you may live long on the earth. 6) You shall not commit adultery. 7) You shall not steal. 8) You shall not murder. 9) You shall not bring false testimony against someone who is your neighbor. 10) You shall not covet the wife of someone who is your neighbor; you shall not covet the house of your neighbor, nor the field of your neighbor, nor his child, nor his ox, nor his maidservant, nor his beast-of-burden, nor anything [else] your neighbor has.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Πλαξίν· ὅτι ἐν ταῖς θεογράφοις πλαξὶ ταῦτα ἦν γεγραμμένα· ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος ὁ θεός σου, ὁ ἐξαγαγών σε ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, ἐξ οἴκου δουλείας. αʹ· οὐκ ἔσονταί σοι θεοὶ ἕτεροι πλὴν ἐμοῦ. βʹ· οὐ ποιήσεις σεαυτῷ εἴδωλον παντὸς ὁμοίωμα, ὅσα ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἄνω καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς κάτω, καὶ ὅσα ἐν τοῖς ὕδασιν ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς. οὐ προσκυνήσεις αὐτοῖς, οὐδ' οὐ μὴ λατρεύσεις αὐτοῖς. γʹ· οὐ λήψῃ τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου ἐπὶ ματαίῳ. δʹ· μνήσθητι τὴν ἡμέραν τῶν σαββάτων ἁγιάζειν αὐτήν. εʹ· τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου, ἵνα εὖ σοι γένηται καὶ ἔσῃ μακροχρόνιος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. ʹ2ʹ· οὐ μοιχεύσεις. ζʹ· οὐ κλέψεις. ηʹ· οὐ φονεύσεις. θʹ· οὐ ψευδομαρτυρήσεις κατὰ τοῦ πλησίον σου ψευδομαρτυρία. ιʹ· οὐκ ἐπιθυμήσεις τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ πλησίον σου· οὐκ ἐπιθυμήσεις τὴν οἰκίαν τοῦ πλησίον σου οὐδὲ τὸν ἀγρὸν τοῦ πλησίον σου οὐδὲ τὸν παῖδα αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ τὸν βοῦν αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ τὴν παιδίσκην αὐτοῦ οὔτε τὸ ὑποζύγιον αὐτοῦ οὔθ' ὅσα τῷ πλησίον σου ἐστίν.
