The Ten Commandments, also known as the Decalogue, are a set of divine laws given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai, as recorded in the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy. These commandments form a foundational ethical code in Judeo-Christian tradition and are central to the moral teachings of the Bible. They are presented in two primary biblical passages: Exodus 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21. Below is an enumeration of the Ten Commandments according to the Berean Standard Bible .

This commandment prohibits the creation and worship of idols or images, emphasizing the spiritual nature of God.

3. God's Name in Vain
"You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain." (Exodus 20:7)

10. No Coveting

This commandment addresses the inner desires and intentions, warning against the sin of covetousness and the discontent it breeds.

The Ten Commandments are not merely a list of prohibitions but are seen as guiding principles that reflect God's character and His desire for human relationships to be marked by love, respect, and holiness. They serve as a moral compass for believers, guiding them in their relationship with God and with one another.Exodus 20:3-17
