The Ten Commandments are a set of religious and moral principles that play a fundamental role in Judaism and Christianity. They are also known as the Decalogue. The text of the Ten Commandments appears twice in the Hebrew Bible: at Exodus 20:2–17 and Deuteronomy 5:6–21.Here are the Ten Commandments in their proper order, according to the Hebrew Bible:
– You shall have no other gods before me.
– You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.
– You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
– Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.
– Honor your father and your mother.
– You shall not murder.
– You shall not commit adultery.
– You shall not steal.
– You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
– You shall not covet your neighbor’s house, wife, slaves, ox, donkey, or anything else that belongs to your neighbor.
The Ten Commandments have been interpreted and applied in many different ways over the centuries. Some people believe that they are absolute moral laws that must be obeyed without question. Others believe that they are more general principles that should be followed as best as possible. Still others believe that the Ten Commandments are outdated and no longer relevant in today’s world.Regardless of how they are interpreted, the Ten Commandments have had a profound influence on the development of Western culture. They have been used to justify wars, to condemn slavery, and to promote human rights. They continue to be debated and discussed today, and their relevance is likely to continue for many years to come.
