Answer 3

Easy:


1. Thou shalt not have any other gods before Me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images, nor bow down before them.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. For in 6 days the Lord made Heaven and Earth, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day.
5. Honor thy father and thy mother.
6. Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
10. Thou shalt not covet.

Problem is, only a few of them are really necessary. In fact, only 6-10 really apply to human society - all others are about not upsetting the fragile nature of this God's ego.

Answer 4

Well, do you want the 613 commandments? They all fall into the ten catagories below.

1. Belief in G-d
This category is derived from the declaration in Ex. 20:2 beginning, "I am the L-rd, your G-d..."

2. Prohibition of Improper Worship
This category is derived from Ex. 20:3-6, beginning, "You shall not have other gods..." It encompasses within it the prohibition against the worship of other gods as well as the prohibition of improper forms of worship of the one true G-d, such as worshiping G-d through an idol.

3. Prohibition of Oaths
This category is derived from Ex. 20:7, beginning, "You shall not take the name of the L-rd your G-d in vain..." This includes prohibitions against perjury, breaking or delaying the performance of vows or promises, and speaking G-d's name or swearing unnecessarily.

4. Observance of Sacred Times
This category is derived from Ex. 20:8-11, beginning, "Remember the Sabbath day..." It encompasses all mitzvot related to Shabbat, holidays, or other sacred time.

5. Respect for Parents and Teachers
This category is derived from Ex. 20:12, beginning, "Honor your father and mother..."

6. Prohibition of Physically Harming a Person
This category is derived from Ex. 20:13, saying, "You shall not murder."

7. Prohibition of Sexual Immorality
This category is derived from Ex. 20:13, saying, "You shall not commit adultery."

8. Prohibition of Theft
This category is derived from Ex. 20:13, saying, "You shall not steal." It includes within it both outright robbery as well as various forms of theft by deception and unethical business practices. It also includes kidnapping, which is essentially "stealing" a person.

9. Prohibition of Harming a Person through Speech
This category is derived from Ex. 20:13, saying, "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor." It includes all forms of lashon ha-ra (sins relating to speech).

10. Prohibition of Coveting
This category is derived from Ex. 20:14, beginning, "You shall not covet your neighbor's house..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

According to Jewish tradition, G-d gave the Jewish people 613 mitzvot (commandments).

All 613 of those mitzvot are equally sacred, equally binding and equally the word of G-d.

All of these mitzvot are treated as equally important, because human beings, with our limited understanding of the universe.

Now, this will get you to the 613 commandments

Then, there is the 39 Shabbos catagories of forbidden acts.

The word melachah is rarely used in the Torah outside of the context of Shabbat and holy day restrictions. The only other repeated use of the word is in the discussion of the building of the sanctuary and its vessels in the wilderness (Exodus 31:35-38). Notably, the Shabbat restrictions are reiterated during this discussion (Ex. 31:13), thus we can infer that the work of creating the sanctuary had to be stopped
for Shabbat. From this, the rabbis concluded that the work prohibited on Shabbat is the same as the work of creating the sanctuary.

They found 39 categories of forbidden acts, all of which are types of work that were needed to build the sanctuary:
1. Sowing
2. Plowing
3. Reaping
4. Binding sheaves
5. Threshing
6. Winnowing
7. Selecting
8. Grinding
9. Sifting
10. Kneading
11. Baking
12. Shearing wool
13. Washing wool
14. Beating wool
15. Dyeing wool
16. Spinning
17. Weaving
18. Making two loops 19.
19. Weaving two threads
20. Separating two threads
21. Tying
22. Untying
23. Sewing two stitches
24. Tearing
25. Trapping
26. Slaughtering
27. Flaying
28. Salting meat
29. Curing hide
30. Scraping hide
31. Cutting hide up
32. Writing two letters
33. Erasing two letters
34. Building
35. Tearing a building down
36. Extinguishing a fire
37. Kindling a fire
38. Hitting with a hammer
39. Taking an object from the private domain to the public, or transporting an object in the public domain. (Mishnah Shabbat,
7:2)

Answer 6

Of course I know them. When you grow up in the south, you learn the 10 commandments before you learn to tie your shoes. My parents never even went to church. But we all learned the 10 commandments. My brother only learned to repeat them, not to live by them, though.

Answer 7

Yep- plus the list of 613 in Rambam's Mishneh Torah, his explanation of them, divided into 14 categories in the Yad Chazakah, the Arba'ah Haturim of the Ba'al Haturim which organised them into four main sections. the Shulchan Aruch by Rav Yosef Caro, plus the glosses of the Rema on the Tur (into 6 categories) plus later poskim and rihonim's commentaores ont hem, includng the Mishnah Berurah of the Chofetz Chaim.

Hmm- and nope, I won't list it all here since I doubt it would fit in.... LOL

Answer 8

Yep all in Exodus 34

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

Don't forget the very different version in Exodus 34!!!
