There are 613 commandments. Most were given to the Jews through Moses while in the desert. A few were known beforehand (e.g. fruitful and multiply). Since you mention the so-called Ten Commandments, we will stick with those.

First of all, there were ten statements. The first is a statement, not a commandment. Please understand that there are three versions of the topic: Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant. Since the Jews were the recipients, and the language used was Hebrew, we will use the Jewish understanding. They are (using an English translation, not the original Hebrew):

1. I am the L-rd thy G-d who brought thee out of the land of Egypt. (Ex XX, v 2). This is a statement, not a commandment

2. Thou shalt have no other gods before me (v 3). Thou shalt not make thee a graven image...(v 4). Thou shalt not bow down unto them..(v 5).

3. Though shalt not take the name of the L-rd thy G-d in vain (no perjury or profane swearing) (v 7)

4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. (v 8)

5. Honor thy father and thy mother (v 12) When this is repeated in Deuteronomy, the wording is changed to Fear thy mother and thy father.

6. Thou shalt not murder (v 13). Note that it does NOT forbid killing, only murder. The Torah makes a big distinction between the two.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery (v 13)

8. Thou shalt not steel (v 13)

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. (v 13)

10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's...(v 14)

We believe that God gave the so-called "Ten Commandments" to Moses. However, we belive that there are a whole lot more than 10. Jews follow 613 laws; you can see a list of them at the web site below.

2 things first. "believe" & "Moses". Fill in the blank with God. To find the actual commandments, look in the Bible.
Old Testament (first half) Book of Exodus (2nd book) Chapter 20. Not space to write them all out here. Hope this helps.

It is not well known, but Mosses actually got the ten Commandments from a Phoenician trader at the seashore on the edge of the desert. Moses, on the other hand, got them from God.

Do you really not know who Moses got the Ten Commandments from?

I don't understand your question. Or your spelling. Are you asking what the Ten Commandments were, or are you playing fill in the blanks?
