The other three are also real self-descriptions of God, from Exodus 3:6, Genesis 17:1 and Exodus 3:14.\"},\n{q:\"What is the first commandment in Exodus 20?\", opts:[\"Thou shalt have no other gods before me\",\"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image\",\"Thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart\",\"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy\"], correct:0, ref:\"Exodus 20:3\", fact:\"The graven-image command follows in verse 4. \u201cLove the LORD thy God with all thine heart\u201d is Deuteronomy 6:5, which is not one of the ten at all.\"},\n{q:\"Exodus 20:4 forbids a likeness of anything in which three places?\", opts:[\"In heaven above, in the earth beneath, and in the water under the earth\",\"In the heavens, in the sea, and on the dry land\",\"In heaven, on earth, and in the grave\",\"In the air above, on the ground below, and in the deep\"], correct:0, ref:\"Exodus 20:4\", fact:\"\u201cAny 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.\u201d The phrasing covers sky, land and sea \u2014 everything.\"},\n{q:\"How does God describe himself inside the graven-image command?\", opts:[\"A jealous God\",\"A consuming fire\",\"A God of judgment\",\"A God that hideth himself\"], correct:0, ref:\"Exodus 20:5\", fact:\"\u201cFor I the LORD thy God am a jealous God.\u201d Deuteronomy 4:24 pairs both ideas \u2014 \u201ca consuming fire, even a jealous God\u201d \u2014 but Exodus 20 uses only the second.\"},\n{q:\"Exodus 20:5-6 sets two numbers side by side. Iniquity is visited to the third and fourth generation; mercy is shown to how many?\", opts:[\"Thousands\",\"A hundred generations\",\"Seventy times seven\",\"Ten thousands\"], correct:0, ref:\"Exodus 20:6\", fact:\"\u201cAnd shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.\u201d Four generations on one side of the ledger, thousands on the other.\"},\n{q:\"What does Exodus 20:7 say about the person who takes the LORD's name in vain?\", opts:[\"The LORD will not hold him guiltless\",\"He shall surely be put to death\",\"He shall bear his own iniquity\",\"His name shall be blotted out of the book\"], correct:0, ref:\"Exodus 20:7\", fact:\"\u201cFor the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.\u201d No human penalty is named here at all \u2014 the command is left between a person and God.\"},\n{q:\"Which of the ten takes up the most verses in Exodus 20?\", opts:[\"The sabbath\",\"Graven images\",\"Coveting\",\"Honouring father and mother\"], correct:0, ref:\"Exodus 20:8-11\", fact:\"The sabbath command runs four verses, from \u201cRemember the sabbath day\u201d to \u201challowed it.\u201d Three of the ten are a single short sentence each.\"},\n{q:\"Exodus 20:11 gives a reason for keeping the sabbath.

The second option is the reason given for the very same command in Deuteronomy 5:15 \u2014 same law, different reason.\"},\n{q:\"Besides sons and daughters, who else does Exodus 20:10 say must rest?\", opts:[\"The manservant, the maidservant, the cattle, and the stranger within thy gates\",\"Only the household, and no one else\",\"The priests and the Levites\",\"The widow and the fatherless\"], correct:0, ref:\"Exodus 20:10\", fact:\"The sabbath command is the one that reaches outside the family \u2014 it covers hired workers, livestock and foreigners passing through.\"},\n{q:\"Exodus 20:8 opens the sabbath command with one word; Deuteronomy 5:12 opens it with a different one.

What surprises most people reading them straight through is how short they are. Four of the ten are a single sentence, and two of those are four words long in the King James wording. The sabbath command is the longest by a wide margin, running four verses and naming not just the household but hired workers, livestock and foreigners passing through the gates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where are the Ten Commandments in the Bible?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They appear twice, in full. The first time is Exodus 20:1-17, spoken aloud at Mount Sinai to the whole camp. The second is Deuteronomy 5:6-21, where Moses recites them again to the next generation about forty years later. The two versions are nearly identical, and the places they differ are the interesting part. Exodus grounds the sabbath in creation, because God rested on the seventh day; Deuteronomy grounds it in rescue, because Israel had been slaves in Egypt. Exodus opens the sabbath command with &#8220;Remember&#8221;; Deuteronomy opens it with &#8220;Keep&#8221;. Deuteronomy adds a clause to the parents command, &#8220;that it may go well with thee&#8221;, and reorders the coveting command so the neighbour&#8217;s wife comes before the neighbour&#8217;s house, while adding a field to the list. Same ten, two tellings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do different churches number the Ten Commandments differently?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the text itself never numbers them. Exodus 20 gives a block of commands and Deuteronomy 4:13 says there are ten, but nothing in scripture marks where one ends and the next begins, so traditions bracket the same words differently. Catholic and Lutheran numbering treats &#8220;no other gods&#8221; and &#8220;no graven images&#8221; as one commandment, then splits the coveting clause in two, making the ninth about the neighbour&#8217;s wife and the tenth about the neighbour&#8217;s goods. Reformed, Orthodox and Anglican numbering keeps graven images as a separate second commandment and keeps coveting as a single tenth. Jewish tradition counts Exodus 20:2 itself, &#8220;I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt&#8221;, as the first of the ten words. Every tradition is reading the identical verses; they simply draw the lines in different places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does the New Testament repeat the Ten Commandments?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Repeatedly, and usually in clusters. When a rich young man asks Jesus what to do, Matthew 19:18-19 lists murder, adultery, stealing, false witness and honouring parents, then adds loving your neighbour as yourself. Mark&#8217;s version of the same conversation slips in a line that is not among the ten at all: &#8220;Defraud not&#8221;, which is about cheating someone of their wages. Paul runs through five of them in Romans 13:9 and says they are all briefly comprehended in loving your neighbour as yourself. James 2:11 points out that the God who said do not commit adultery also said do not kill, so the list holds together as one cloth. And in Matthew 5, Jesus takes two of them further than the wording alone, reaching past the act of murder to anger and past adultery to the look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the easiest way to learn the Ten Commandments by heart?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people who try to memorise a list of ten end up with seven and a gap.
