What are the 10 Commandments?

By N.S. Gill, About.com

Question: What are the 10 Commandments?
Answer: The 10 Commandments of Judaism and Christianity are also known as the Decalogue in Greek. They are listed in the Biblical book of Exodus, where God gives them to Moses while on Mt. Sinai. There are more than 10 statements in the list from Exodus 20. They are divided and numbered differently in different religions. Deuteronomy 5:6–21 also contains the commandments.

In Exodus, God gives Moses the tablets on which the Commandments are recorded, but Moses smashes them in anger when he sees his people have created a golden calf. God gives him a second set.

See the 10 Commandments, according to the King James' Version (KJV) of the Bible: 10 Commandments.
