Well the Jews got carried away with their commandments. They invented commandments. If God said, don't boil a kid in the mama goat's milk, the Jews took it further. Don't boil the kid in any milk. If God said don't use his name in vain, the Jews took it further. Don't speak God's name at all. By the time Jesus came on the scene, they had invented hundreds of these religious man-made commandments.
Its not just the Jews. Religion is evil dressed in holy garb. Religion takes a commandment, undresses the spirit of that commandment and throws it away. Then they add to the letter of that commandment a weight too heavy to bear.
You see this in "Christian" Churches too. You go to hell for playing cards, or going to a theater, or wearing makeup. Sickness is God's punishment for sinning. Where do they get this? From the same demented religious wickedness the Muslims get it from: their own wicked hearts. With religion you can justify anything, even killing. They actually think they are doing God a favor.
When you see religion go amuck it is always for one purpose: Control. Subjugating people.
That is why Jesus said his burden was light and his commandments were few. You shall know the truth; not, be burdened down with impossible commandments.
So personally I don't give a flip how many commandments appear in the Torah.
To answer your question specifically. The KJ Bible in the Old Testament has the same five books the Torah has.
Genesis - Bereshit
Exodus - Shemot
Leviticus - Vayyiqra
Numbers - Bammidbar
Deuteronomy - Devarim
But the KJ doesn't have the Mishnah, the Talmud, the Midrash and everything else in the Torah. KJ only has the five books.

Yes. If you believe the tradition that there are 613 commandments and went through with Rambam's Taryag Mitzvos (one of the lists of the 613 commandments) you would find every one in the KJV of the Bible as he quotes each one from the BIble, and most editions supply chapter and verse.
(The Rambam didn't, because there were no chapters and verses back then.)
THe question is does your religion believe there are 613 commandments?
613 is not the number you would most likely arrive at if you counted yourself. It's a Jewish tradition that there are 613 commandments in the first 5 books of the TOrah. The tradition never lists the 613 commandments. A reader without that tradition would divide them differently and probably not count some as commandments at first thought, and would count things Jeiwsh law doesn't count as commandments as commandments, etc. In most cases, if he went through with a pen and marked every time a comand was given, he'd end up with more than 613.
Several rabbis have tried to go through and number them. The Rambam, the Ramban, and the Chofetz Chaim are the most famous. Their lists differed from each others, and there is a whole body of Jewish Holy Books defending ones list over anothers.

I hardly doubt, that anything to do with the "Muslums", are in the King James Bible!!!! My God would not allow anyone to go and just kill innocent men women and children, in another mans country!! And He (The Omnipotent One) The Alpha & The Omega, would not condone, Suicide, and it is a "Big Sin", because God Almighty Created Us, and by taking ones own life, you are sinning...... God, is of Life, and the Author, of the Light, and of LOVE, not hate, not war, not killing innocent people...... So, I hardly doubt they believe in anything normal like the KJ Version! Their all into "Allah!!!" Not The Almighty One!! But, those who flew those planes, through the Twin Towers, met the Real McCoy, as soon as they killed theirselves, and I'll bet cha' their having many regrets now, as they "Burn in HELL, for all ETERNITY!!!!" Thats just my opinion......... Have a Merry Christmas, and enjoy celebrating our Lord's birthday!!!! Smile!!!
