What are the 10 Commandments?

The 10 Commandments listed in the Tanakh

I've never been much of a fan of the wording of the 10 Commandments in the KJV bible. The JPS version is much more readable. Here are the 10 Commandments according to the Hebrew Tanakh, New JPS (1985)


Exodus 20:1-17

God spoke all these words, saying: I the Lord am your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage:
  1. 1. You shall have no other gods besides Me.
  2. 2. You shall not make for yourself a sculptured image, or any likeness of what is in the heavens above, or on the earth below, or in the waters under the earth.
  3. 4. You shall not swear falsely by the name of the Lord your God; for the Lord will not clear one who swears falsely by His name.
  4. 5. Remember the sabbath day and keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God: you shall not do any work—you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, or your cattle, or the stranger who is within your settlements. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth and sea, and all that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.
  5. 6. Honor your father and your mother, that you may long endure on the land that the Lord your God is assigning to you.
  6. 7. You shall not murder.
  7. 8. You shall not commit adultery.
  8. 9. You shall not steal.
  9. 10. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house: you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female slave, or his ox or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor’s.


I will be posting a commentary on these as I believe many people do not fully understand how this translates to a modern society and I feel it is important to put this information out there. I thank you all for checking this out and as always, if you have any comments, questions, suggestions or just wanna say hi, you can email me at [email protected].
