About this story

The Israelites gather at the foot of Mount Sinai while thunder, lightning, smoke and the sound of a trumpet cover the mountain. Moses climbs toward God as the people wait below in fear. God then gives the commandments that will define the people’s responsibilities toward God and one another, including laws against murder, theft, adultery and false testimony. Moses and the Ten Commandments is a foundational Bible story about law, morality, worship and covenant. Its central commandments have had an enormous influence on religious belief, ethical thought and legal traditions throughout the world.

Scene 1 of Moses and the Ten Commandments, illustratedMoïse et les Dix Commandements · Scene 1

Le troisième mois après la sortie des enfants d’Israël du pays d’Égypte, ils arrivent au désert du Sinaï. Avant cela, ils quittent Rephidim. Puis ils viennent au désert du Sinaï. Ils campent dans le désert. Israël campe là, en face de la montagne. Moïse monte vers Dieu. Yahvé l’appelle de la montagne. Il dit : « Tu vas dire cela à la maison de Jacob et aux enfants d’Israël : “Vous avez vu ce que j’ai fait aux Égyptiens. Je vous ai portés comme sur des ailes d’aigle. Je vous ai amenés à moi. Maintenant, si vous écoutez vraiment ma voix et si vous gardez mon alliance, vous allez être mon peuple précieux parmi tous les peuples. Car toute la terre est à moi. Vous allez être pour moi un royaume de prêtres et une nation sainte.” » Yahvé dit encore : « Voilà les paroles que tu diras aux enfants d’Israël. »
