Where the commandments come from
The Ten Commandments appear in Exodus 20:1–17 and are repeated in Deuteronomy 5. Exodus places them at Mount Sinai, after the people leave Egypt, and Deuteronomy calls the mountain Horeb. Both passages begin with the reminder that the LORD brought Israel out of slavery.
Why the numbers differ
Christians and Jewish communities do not all number the commandments the same way. The lists on this page follow the common Protestant count. Catholic and Lutheran traditions join the first two into one and split the last one, so the same command can carry a different number from one list to the next.
Quiz answers follow the text of Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. Read those chapters in your own Bible for the exact wording in your translation.
