Subject: OT: 10 Commandments


Yosef,

I would assume they come from the old testament (hence Moshe).  Exodus
20:1-17

These were the commandments give to Moses on Mount Sinai.

I know you are not Christian, but I thought you would be familiar with
this
version.  :-)

Exo 20:1  And God spake all these words, saying,
Exo 20:2  I [am] the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the
land of
Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Exo 20:3  Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exo 20:4  Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any
likeness [of
any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath,
or
that [is] in the water under the earth:
Exo 20:5  Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I
the
LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the
children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;
Exo 20:6  And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and
keep my
commandments.
Exo 20:7  Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for
the
LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Exo 20:8  Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9  Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10  But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in
it]
thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy
manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that
[is]
within thy gates:
Exo 20:11  For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea,
and all
that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD
blessed the
sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Exo 20:12  Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long
upon the
land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Exo 20:13  Thou shalt not kill.
Exo 20:14  Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Exo 20:15  Thou shalt not steal.
Exo 20:16  Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Exo 20:17  Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not
covet thy
neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox,
nor his
ass, nor any thing that [is] thy neighbour's.
