The first 4 tell you how to love God and the remaining 6 tell you how to love others.  The Ten Commandments are repeated a generation later in [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+5%3A6-21&version=AKJV Deuteronomy 5:6-21].\n\n== The Commandments ==\n=== 1st Commandment ===\n\"<span style=\"color: red;\">I am Yahweh thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.  Thou shalt have no other gods before me.</span>\" [[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20%3A2-3&version=AKJV Exodus 20:2-3]]\n\nYahweh and Yahweh alone is to be your God.  You are to serve only him.\n\n=== 2nd Commandment ===\n\"<span style=\"color: red;\">Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any 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:  thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:  for I Yahweh thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.</span>\"  [[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20%3A4-6&version=AKJV Exodus 20:4-6]]\n\nYou are not to make for yourself anything to worship God with.  This is counted as worshiping other gods, even if you believe you are worshiping Yahweh[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+32%3A4-8&version=NIV].\n\n=== 3rd Commandment ===\n\"<span style=\"color: red;\">Thou shalt not take the name of Yahweh thy God in vain; for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.</span>\" [[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20%3A7&version=AKJV Exodus 20:7]]\n\nThe word translated as \"take\" is \"[https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H5375&t=KJV nasa]\", which means \"to bear\", \"to lift up\", or \"to carry\".  The word translated as \"vein\" is \"[https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H7723&t=KJV shav]\", which means \"falsehood\", or \"evil\".  So this command literally means \"do not do evil in God's name\".  And those who do evil in God's name will not be forgiven.\n\n=== 4th Commandment ===\n\"<span style=\"color: red;\">Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.  Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:  but the seventh day is the sabbath of Yahweh thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:  for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:  wherefore Yahweh blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.</span>\" [[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20%3A8-11&version=AKJV Exodus 20:8-11]]\n\nThe first six days of the week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday) are the days God has said work is to be done.  But the seventh day (Saturday) is the [[Sabbath]].  On it, you are to rest and do no work!  Those who work on the seventh day (Saturday) break the Sabbath.\n\n=== 5th Commandment ===\n\"<span style=\"color: red;\">Honor thy father and thy mother:  that thy days may be long upon the land which Yahweh thy God giveth thee.</span>\" [[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20%3A12&version=AKJV Exodus 20:12]]\n\nSubmit to the authority of your parents.  This is the first command given that comes with a promise:  That you will live long in the land that God gives you.\n\n=== 6th Commandment ===\n\"<span style=\"color: red;\">Thou shalt not kill.</span>\" [[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20%3A13&version=AKJV Exodus 20:13]]\n\nThe word translated as \"kill\" is \"[https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H7523&t=KJV ratsakh]\", which means \"to murder\".  The passage actually says \"you shall not murder\".  The KJV [[Mistranslated Scriptures|mistranslates]] this passage.\n\n=== 7th Commandment ===\n\"<span style=\"color: red;\">Thou shalt not commit adultery.</span>\" [[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20%3A14&version=AKJV Exodus 20:14]]\n\nFor a man, adultery is having sexual relationships with another man's wife.  For a married woman, adultery is having sexual relationships with a man other than her husband.  Is is impossible for an unmarried woman to commit adultery.\n\n=== 8th Commandment ===\n\"<span style=\"color: red;\">Thou shalt not steal.</span>\" [[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20%3A15&version=AKJV Exodus 20:15]]\n\nYou shall not take that which you do not have permission from the owner to take.\n\n=== 9th Commandment ===\n\"<span style=\"color: red;\">Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.</span>\" [[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20%3A16&version=AKJV Exodus 20:16]]\n\nYou shall not bring or support a false accusation or report against your neighbor.  Nor should you bring or support a false accusation or report in favor of your neighbor.  All accusations or reports concerning your neighbor must be truthful.  In short:  Do not commit perjury.  This commandment is commonly simplified as \"you shall not lie\".  But that is a different command altogether[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus%2019%3A11&version=AKJV].  This command specifically deals in matters concerning testimony for or against another person.\n\n=== 10th Commandment ===\n\"<span style=\"color: red;\">Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's.</span>\" [[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20%3A17&version=AKJV Exodus 20:17]]\n\nYou shall not desire to have anything or anyone that you cannot have.  In [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5%3A28&version=NIV Matthew 5:28], [[Jesus]] equates [[Lust|coveting]] your neighbor's wife with [[Sexual Immorality|adultery]] of the heart.  This is the only commandment that cannot be enforced by humans.\n\n== False Teachings ==\n=== The Law is The Ten Commandments ===\nIt is a common misconception that the entirety of God's Law is contained within the 10 commandments.  This is refuted by passages such as [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%2017%3A19&version=AKJV Deuteronomy 17:19], which is also a part of God's Law.  The claim is also refuted by the fact that the majority of the rules to be followed are not found within the 10 Commandments.  Everything from Genesis through Deuteronomy is God's Law."

                        "*": "[[Category:Teachings]]\nThe Torah is the first five books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy).  The word \"torah\" literally means \"instruction\" and is often translated into English as \"law\".  Torah is often referred to as \"the Law of Moses\", \"the Law of God\", \"God's Law\", or simply \"The Law\".  The Torah makes up the first section of what is commonly known as the \"[[Tanakh|Old Testament]]\".  Torah is the written word of God and is inerrant in everything it says.  All things must be tested against Torah first in accordance with [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+13&version=AKJV Deuteronomy 13].  Anyone who teaches what is contrary to Torah is a [[:Category:False Teachings|false teacher]].  The Torah (and only Torah) defines what is right and wrong and gives the true account of the origins of the Earth and everything on it, in it, and around it.\n\nThe commands contained within Torah may be divided into two categories:  How to love God [[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+6%3A5&version=AKJV Deuteronomy 6:5]], and how to love others [[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus+19%3A18&version=AKJV Leviticus 19:18]].  The [[Ten Commandments]] contains 4 commandments (or basic principals) in the first category, and 6 commandments (or basic principals) in the second category.  The rest of the commandments in Torah go into detail on how to love God and on how to love others.\n\n== Individual Books ==\nTorah was originally made of 5 individual scrolls.  Today, Torah is a single scroll with 5 major divisions representing these 5 scrolls.\n\n=== Genesis ===\nGenesis covers all of the major events in Earth's history from it's [[Creation|creation]] to Israel going into Egypt.  Genesis gives the factually correct historical account of the origins of the Earth.\n\n=== Exodus ===\nExodus covers Israel's slavery in Egypt, their [[The Exodus|exodus]] from Egypt, the giving of [[Ten Commandments|the Ten Commandments]], the establishment of the covenant between God and Israel, and many other historical events.\n\n=== Leviticus ===\nLeviticus starts with the rules concerning the various types of mandatory and voluntary offerings that can be offered to God, then goes into various other rules about physical cleanliness, what is and is not food, sexual immorality, the appointed times, rules specifically for priests, punishments for breaking the commandments, etc.  This is arguably the most important book concerning how to love God and how to love your neighbor.\n\n=== Numbers ===\nNumbers is mostly a historical document covering the 40 years that Israel spent in the wilderness as a result of their disbelief in God's promises.\n\n=== Deuteronomy ===\nDeuteronomy reiterates many of the commandments given in the previous books as well as establishing some additional rules before Israel entered into the promised land.  In fact, the book starts off in first person from Moses' perspective, reiterating history to a new generation of Israelites and reiterating God's commandments to this generation.  This is the book where the [[Deuteronomy 13 Test]] comes from.  Some important rules established in this book are the rules are the rules to not add to or take away from God's commandments [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+4%3A2&version=AKJV][https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+12%3A32&version=AKJV].\n\n== Historical Accounts ==\nTorah is more than just a list of dos and don'ts.  It's also a historical document that records every major event from the [[Creation|creation]] of the world to Israel entering the promised land.  The following is a short list of events covered by Torah.\n\n=== Creation ===\nThe correct historical account of the [[Creation|creation]] of the world and everything around it and in it.  God created everything in six days and rested on the seventh, ordaining it as the [[Sabbath]].  Everything God created was very good[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+1%3A31&version=AKJV].\n\n=== The Fall ===\n\n=== The Flood ===\n\n=== The Tower of Babel ===\n\n=== The Promise ===\n\n=== Going Into Egypt ===\n\n=== The Exodus ===\n\n=== The Giving of the Commandments ===\n\n=== The Forty Years ===\n\n== Alternate Names ==\nThe Torah is referred to by many different names.  Here are some of the most common.\n\n=== Pentateuch ===\nThe word \"Pentateuch\" literally means \"the five scrolls\"[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torah#Alternative_names].  This name, while technically accurate, undermines the authority and relevancy of Torah as the word of God.\n\n=== The Law of Moses ===\nAlso referred to simply as \"Moses\" in several places in Scripture (eg: [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+15%3A21&version=AKJV Acts 15:21]), this name is mistaken to mean that the commandments contained in Torah are merely the opinions of Moses.  But the name exists because Moses was the one through whom God gave his Law to the Israelites.  In other words, Torah was written by God, through Moses, and not by the whim of Moses.\n\n=== The Law of God ===\nThis name makes it very clear who gave us the Torah:  God himself.\n\n=== The Law ===\nThis is a shortened form of \"the Law of God\" and sometimes does not refer to God's Law.  This leads to a lot of confusion in [[Paul|Paul's]] letters when he talks about the various \"laws\" as \"the Law\" without specifying which law he is referring to.  It is best practice to either always specify which law you are referring to when using the phrase \"the Law\" or to have \"the Law\" always refer to Torah unless specifying otherwise.\n\n=== The Commandments of God ===\nThe \"commands of God\" or \"commandments of God\" is an alternate way of saying \"the Law of God\" or \"Torah\".  Other, shorter variation is \"God's commands\" or \"God's commandments\" or \"the Commandments\".  This wording may be mistaken as referring specifically to the [[Ten Commandments]].  A person may also be referring to the Ten Commandments but be mistaken as referring to the entirety of Torah."
