Ten Commandments

The Ten Commandments (Biblical Hebrew עשרת הדברים \ עֲשֶׂרֶת הַדְּבָרִי‎, aséret ha-dvarím, lit. The Ten Words, cf. Mishnaic Hebrew עשרת הדיברות \ עֲשֶׂרֶת הַדִּבְּרוֹת, aséret ha-dibrót, lit. The Ten Sayings, The Ten Utterances), or the Decalogue (from Latin decalogus, from Ancient Greek δεκάλογος [dekálogos], lit. "ten words"), are a set of biblical principles relating to ethics and worship that play a fundamental role in Judaism and Christianity. The text of the Ten Commandments appears twice in the Hebrew Bible: at Exodus 20:2–17 and Deuteronomy 5:6–21.

According to the Book of Exodus in the Torah, the Ten Commandments were revealed to Moses at Mount Sinai and inscribed by the finger of God on two tablets of stone kept in the Ark of the Covenant.

Scholars disagree about when the Ten Commandments were written and by whom, with some modern scholars suggesting that they were likely modeled on Hittite and Mesopotamian laws and treaties.

Examples of use of Decalogue

1. In one Ten Commandments case the court said an outdoor public presentation of the Decalogue among other monuments on the Texas State Capitol grounds in Austin did not amount to an unconstitutional government promotion of religion.

2. While acknowledging improvements, the investigating Air Force panel recommended the academy establish guidelines for religious expression so that no minority feels coerced into others‘ views (the vast majority of the cadets identify themselves as Christian). Guidelines are exactly what the Supreme Court appeared to establish with its two rulings on the Decalogue.

3. The history of Ten Commandments cases Prior to Monday‘s rulings, the high court had last decided a Ten Commandments case in 1'80, when the justices, in a 5–to–4 ruling, struck down a Kentucky law requiring the Decalogue be posted in public school classrooms.

4. A major confrontation will wreak far too much damage for the international community to agree to leave us alone in the ring with Hamas – an organization whose word cannot be trusted and whose fondest dream is the first commandment of the axis of evil‘s decalogue – Thou shalt destroy Israel.

5. Transparency International Greece revealed yesterday that it has put together a «Decalogue of Corruption» to highlight rules that Greeks should follow if they are to stamp out corruption. «We are not aiming to replace the political leadership or become a substitute for the country’s institutions,» said the organization’s president, Costas Bakouris. «Instead, we want to create the basis on which a modern Greece, free of corruption, can be built.» It is estimated that more than 600 million euros are paid in bribes each year in Greece.
