The Ten Commandments, also known as the Decalogue, are a set of commandments which the Bible describes as having been given to the Israelites by God at biblical Mount Sinai. The Ten Commandments are listed twice in the Hebrew Bible, first at , and then at . Both versions state that God inscribed them on two stone tablets, which he gave to Moses. According to New Testament writers, the Ten Commandments are clearly attributed to Moses (, see also ). Modern scholarship has found likely influences in Hittite and Mesopotamian laws and treaties, but is divided over exactly when the Ten Commandments were written and who wrote them. The commandments include instructions to worship only God, to honour parents, and to keep the sabbath; as well as prohibitions against idolatry, blasphemy, murder, adultery, theft, dishonesty, and coveting. Different religious groups follow different traditions for interpreting and numbering them. ==Terminology== In biblical Hebrew, the Ten Commandments are called (transliterated ) and in Rabbinical Hebrew (transliterated ), both translatable as "the ten words", "the ten sayings" or "the ten matters". The Tyndale and Coverdale English translations used "ten verses". The Geneva Bible appears to be the first to use "tenne commandements", which was followed by the Bishops' Bible and the Authorized Version (the "King James" version) as "ten commandments". Most major English versions follow the Authorized Version. The English name "Decalogue" is derived from Greek , ''dekalogos'', the latter meaning and referring to the Greek translation (in accusative) , ', "ten words", found in the Septuagint (or LXX) at Exodus 34:28〔 and Deuteronomy 10:4. The stone tablets, as opposed to the commandments inscribed on them, are called (ヘブライ語:לוחות הברית), ''Luchot HaBrit'', meaning "the tablets of the covenant". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ten Commandments」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
