The Ten Commandments in the Bible, primarily found in Exodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5, are a set of moral and religious laws given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai. They are as follows:
- You shall have no other gods before Me.
- You shall not make idols or worship any graven images.
- You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
- Remember the Sabbath day, to 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 anything that belongs to your neighbor, including their house, spouse, servants, or possessions
These commandments emphasize the worship of God alone, respect for parents, sanctity of life and relationships, honesty, and contentment with one's possessions
. They form a foundational ethical code in both Judaism and Christianity.
