In D'variym/Deutoronomy 10:4 We find that Moshe wrote on some tablets the 10 commandments that he received up on the Mountain Sini.
We have been taught that Shimot/Exodus chapter 20 kicks off the 10 commandments, when there are actually 12, which much moor appropriate because the Most High uses 12 many times in scripture to denote Law and Judgement and Rulership, 12 months ruling the year, 12 hours ruling the day, 12 hours ruling the night, 12 disciples of M'shikhah took the message worldwide, 12 tribes to govern the Common Wealth of Ysrael.
Anyway back to the 10 Mitzvot (actually 10 words). They are REALLY found in Shimot 34:10
Exd 34:10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou [art] shall see the work of the LORD: for it [is] a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
Exd 34:11 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
COMMAND 1
Exd 34:12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:
Exd 34:13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
COMMAND 2
Exd 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous God:
Exd 34:15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and [one] call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
Exd 34:16 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
COMMAND 3
Exd 34:17 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
COMMAND 4
Exd 34:18 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
COMMAND 5
Exd 34:19 All that openeth the matrix [is] mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, [whether] ox or sheep, [that is male].
COMMAND 6
Exd 34:20 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem [him] not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
COMMAND 7
Exd 34:21 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
COMMAND 8
Exd 34:22 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.
Exd 34:23 Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.
Exd 34:24 For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.
COMMAND 9
Exd 34:25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
COMMAND 10
Exd 34:26 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
Exd 34:27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
Exd 34:28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
Exd 34:29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.
To me Moshe came down with 2 tablets. The Man, would have us believe that on one tablet was 5 commandments and on the other were the last 5. I dont believe that. I believe the 12 commandments are on one and the 10 "commandments" (the word it actually D'variym, the hebrew word for Words) of the covenant. If you notice verse 28 "...And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. " In all truth there is no punctuation in scripture so there really isn't a comma separating covenant from the, but I like that they did that because I believe on one tablet were the Words of the Covenant (D'beri HaB'rit) AND the 10 Commandments (Asheret HaD'bariym).
OOOORRRR We can consider the 10 Commandments and the words of the covenant one and the same and that being the words found here in Shimot 34:10-28.
Here is my reasoning for saying this about the 10 commandments. What we read in Shimot 20 where the Most High SPOKE what we thought were the 10 commandments are SPOKEN and were never told to be written down. Yet, these words in 34:10-28 were told be written down. In fact the Tablets of stone are not even mentioned until chapter 24:12
I'll leave that there for now and pick up on the 12 commandments another time
