Are there actually 10 commandments in Exodus chapter 20?
Short answer:
And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. Exodus 34:28 KJV
And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone. Deuteronomy 4:13 KJV
And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me. Deuteronomy 10:4 KJV
1 You shall have no other gods before Yahweh (the name of Israel’s God, rendered “Lord”)
2 You shall not make carved images
3 You shall not take YHWH’s name in vain
4 Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy
5 Honor your father and mother
6 You shall not murder
7 You shall not commit adultery
8 You shall not steal
9 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor
10 You shall not covet
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matthew 22 KJV
- You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. Deuteronomy 6:5
1/ Thou Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me 2/ Thou Shall Not Make Unto Thee Any Graven 3/ Thou Shall Not Take The Name YHVH In Vain 4/ Remember The Sabbath Day To Keep Ie Set Apart
- Thou Shall Love Thy Neighbour As Thyself. Leviticus 19:18
5/ Honour Thy Father And Mother 6/ Thou Shall No Murder 7/ Thou Shall Not Commit Adultery 8/ Thou Shall Not Steal 9/ Thou Shall Not Bear False Witness 10/ Thou Shall Not Covet
It was a trick question. There’s actually 9. It blew my mind when I first heard it and had to double check
Explain this like I'm retarded b/c I am.
And there are other jokers count 13, which is why I included the first three verses in my comment where the author of the commandments tells you how many there are.
