Ten Commandments

What are the ten commendments?

What are commandments?

The word "commandment" is defined as "a divine rule, especially one of the Ten Commandments."

Statements

Are there ten laws or ten statements?

"The Ten Commandments [are said to be] laws or rules handed down to Moses by God on Mount Sinai. But the Hebrew word debar[1] suggesting they are Ten Statements. Even Dennis Prager says they are just the ten statements because the word in the text is haddebārîm הַדְּבָרִ֣ים.

Dennis Prager says in this video that the ten Commandments are just the ten statements. Why did he say that?______Time 5:09

There are only three times where we find the phrase "ten commandments" in the Bible[2] All three times we do not see the word mitsvah[3] but the word dabar.

The common Hebrew word for "word" is debar[1] and is also translated commandments but only 20 times out of over 1400 appearances in the Bible. As a base word it consists of the Hebrew letters DaletBeitReish which is a primitive root word which is also given the Strong's number 01696[4] and said to mean speak and appearing over a thousand times but only translated command 4 times.

But the word that actually appears in these verses containing the phrase Ten Commandments[2] is הַדְּבָרִֽים׃ haddebārîm or the Hebrew letters HeyDaletBeitReishYodMem.

  • ה Hey Expression, Thought, Speech, Action. Manifest seeds of thought and life. [Emphasize, jubilation, window, fence] (Numeric value: 5)
  • ד Dalet Selflessness – Charity, back and forth or through a door or pathway, to enter like a fish (Numeric value: 4)
  • ב Beit Purpose: God's Dwelling Place Below - a house or God's house here. [household, in, into] (Numeric value: 2)
  • ר Reish Process of Clarification The "head" or "beginning". Life's revelation. [Head... Person head highest] (Numeric value: 200)
  • י Yod The Infinite Point of essential good. Divine spark hidden in the ט Tet. Spark of spirit. [closed hand... Deed, work, to make] (Numeric value: 10)
  • מ ם Mem Fountain of water, a flow, a fountain of the Divine Wisdom [massive, overpower chaos] (Numeric value: 40)

This word in these three verses appears 133 times in Moses' writings but is not translated commandments but three times.[2] It is commonly and simply translated things, these things, or all these things or words.[5]

An example of the Ten Commandments are "I am the LORD thy God.

Ten

It is the word for ten that may give us some perspective. The Hebrew word eser or asarah AyinShinReish[6] that is commonly translated "ten" but in this text we see the word עֲשֶׂ֖רֶת ‘ă-śe-reṯ which is AyinShinReishTav.

  • ע Ayin also U. Divine Providence "eye" or "fountain" of five states of kindness or severity. AlefYodNun or nothingness as opposed to AlefShin something [eye, watch] (Numeric value: 70)
  • ש Shin Eternal Flame of Spiritual Revelation, bound to the coal of righteousness, the Divine Essence. [sun... teeth... consume destroy] (Numeric value: 300)
  • ר Reish Process of Clarification The "head" or "beginning". Life's revelation. [Head... Person head highest] (Numeric value: 200)
  • ת Tav is a Seal of a Higher kingdom or realm through faith. The paradigm keter–malchut “The Crown of Sovereignty” from the Tree of Life spiritually linking worlds or realms through an unseen doorway of faith. The Aleph & Tav are the first and last letters. [door sign cross seal] (Numeric value: 400)

Together these Hebrew letters and the added letter Tav associated with faith, could be translated ten faith things or ten things of faith or even ten statements of faith.

There are laws that are built into creation and God is explaining in these ten statements that there are consequences for doing contrary to these precepts.

But you will need real faith in the power of God to abide by the words of God.[7]

The target

We may call the doing contrary to these instructions sin but they are only evidence of our rejection of God and His Holy Spirit. We should not imagine that the consequences are like violating man made laws[8] and suffering prescribed penalties.[9]

The Ten Commandments of God are not like the laws of men but rather more like the laws of physics. If sin is unrighteous acts or behavior contrary to the way of God's creation then there is no escape from the consequences except in a changing of your acts.

But can we change our acts without changing our thinking?

Can we change our thinking to a righteous way of thinking without eating of the tree of life and fasting from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?[10]

Is the remission of sins a product of baptism or the baptism of repentance?

Their meaning

Do we understand what the Ten Statements actually mean?

If they are actually telling us the cause and effect principle built in to the universe like the laws of physics or thermodynamics then we should ask:

Do we know the consequences to individuals and their societies when the people choose to neglect or stray from the way and policies these statements describe?

Exodus 20:1 ¶ And God spake all these words, saying,

2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 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:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD 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;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD 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:
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 ¶ Honour[11] thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

The other Commandment

But the word commandment in the Hebrew is the word mitsvah[3] formed from the Hebrew letters MemTzadikVavHey with the root TzadikVavHey.

The author is clearly expressing something different when he writes MemTzadikVavHey compared to DaletBeitReish and certainly when he writes HeyDaletBeitReishYodMem.

MemTzadikVavHey:

Mem has to do with something that flows,
Tzadik Has to do with righteousness,
Vav Has to do with Connecting realms or the dividing veil between them.
Hey Emphasizes Expression--Thought, Speech, Action like seeds.

MemTzadikVavHey comes from the Hebrew root word tsavah , TzadikVavHey[12] without the Mem which is commonly translated command. The Hebrew word tsav, TzadikVav [13] is almost always translated precept.

  • "But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken." Isaiah 28:13

So, are the Ten Commandments actually The Ten Laws or are they the Ten Statements?

Jesus only used the Greek word epitasso translated "command" once concerning his disciples in Mark 6:39. Almost no group calling itself the Church today follows that "command" off Christ about The Congregation of the people.

Done away

Were these commandments done away with by Christ?

Or was it the laws of the Pharisees and the hand written ordinances.

Jesus did make some direct statements too. One of my favorites and commonly ignored is:

Luke 22:25 "And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve."

This of course was when he appointed the kingdom[14] to the apostles like he said he was going to do back in Luke 12:32 "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom."

So these apostles were supposed to be the leaders of his government at hand and Benefactors of the people but were told not to exercise authority over them.

That is what used to be a Pure Republic where leaders were not rulers but the leaders of the government were still titular.

What Christ was doing was teaching and appointing an all voluntary government that operated by the Perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies through Faith, Hope and Charity by way of Freewill offerings of the people, for the people and by the people.

This is what Moses was doing also. The ten commandments were the The Ten Laws and not redundant once we understand them.

You would think that would be easy.

No one seems to get it that you cannot covet your neighbor's goods, land, labor or anything that is his which cuts all Socialism out of the Christian equation. With these two items alone all forced taxes and social Welfare supported by forced contributions ends immediately if the nation is a Christian nation.

The Pharisees read the Torah and thought that it was telling them to pile up stones to make altars and burn up sheep and kill doves and that would make God happy.

The Essenes read the same book and did not do any of that. We know the Pharisees had it wrong so what were the Essenes doing and what did they have to do with Christ? What Sophistry has been accepted in place of the truth?

Did the original Torah tell us to pile up stones, kill sheep and set them on fire or was that view the result of Sophistry?

If it did not say to do those things, what else did we get wrong?

  • Was the Golden calf a central bank?
  • Was the Red Heifer even a bovine at all or foreign aid?
  • Were the Altars piles of stone or people and institutions of charity?
  • What did Religion mean back then or just a few hundred years ago?

Does anyone today even know what Pure Religion was?

James told you, but people just float right by it as if they were blind or under a Strong Delusion.

What do you think they were doing in the Temples of Rome?

Are we any different than Rome? Rome vs US

Have we made gods of men?

Instead of everyone being afraid to see things a new and repent why don't we seek the truth and the righteousness of God instead of self righteous Bible thumpers who do not even know what the Bible was trying to tell you.


Certainly any statement attributed to the God of creation could be considered a command by those who love God but the statements of God are really just His explanation of how creation works. It should be self evident that no one can keep the The ten statements of God if the righteousness or righteous or Holy Spirit of God is not flowing through us.

This is where Christ comes in and the fulfillment of the prophecy of God writing upon our hearts and upon our minds. There are at least two realms spoken of in the Bible other than this place we call the material universe. One is Heaven and the other is Hell. They both operate according to precepts the seeds of which may grow in us. We will know what is growing in a people by the fruit that is produced.

This is why the "ten statements" are so important because they are explaining to us what good fruit looks like. Obviously killing, stealing, and lying are evidence of bad fruit flowing from people who do not have . But also coveting which is not desiring things like your neighbor but actually desiring what is your neighbor's.

Coveting along with keeping those ten stated precepts of the Natural Law of God is mentioned over and over by the apostles who warned the people of the New Covenant.


Peter, Paul, James, and John Warned

Peter[15], Paul[16], James[17] and John[18]all 'warned the New Covenant Church that what they were doing and not doing would reveal the truth of their claim to faith in God and His Holy Spirit. Paul warned people to test their faith[19] to make sure they were not deceived or reprobates[20].

Even John warns that we need to walk according to what Jesus showed us and confess our sins if we are to be cleansed of unrighteousness.[21] John even gives the keeping of the commandments as the rod by which we measure the truth of our faith.[22] And those who do not keep the commandments are a liar and Christ is not in them.[23] Over and over John repeats that he that "doeth not righteousness" is not born again of Christ and the Father.[24] And John warns us that we may not only be deceived but may deceive ourselves [25] warning us of the many false teachers who are "out in the world".[26]

Jude 1:16 "These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words], having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage."

We are told that we are told in Jude 1:21 "Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh."

The Bible from the beginning warns[27] and continues those warnings throughout the New Testament that many will be decieved thinking they are believers while in truth they are workers of iniquity.[28] Because these warnings are ignored by the modern Church, the welfare of a foolish[29] society has become a snare.

  • “It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder.”[30]

But many doctrines of the modern Church come into conflict with the statements of Jesus because they often suggest and even state that keeping the commandments is not important but only belief. This seems contradictory to the example and activities of the early Church because it is clear that violating those ten stated righteous precepts is primary evidence that one does not truly believe.

And God spake

"And God spake all these words, saying," Exodus 20:1
No. Text Description
I. 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You did not set yourself free from the corvee system where you were employed in Egypt, but Holy Spirit set you free from the bondage of that government of Egypt.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. You shall not institute systems where men become "ruling Judges" over you as a substitute for the Holy Spirit of God ruling in the hearts[31] and minds of he people. You are to give no man the power to appoint gods over you to make law and decide good and evil for you.
4 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: You shall not make or institute or establish anything to be a substitute for God in your heart or mind like the Golden calf was which was the reserve fund which became covetous practices which is idolatry.[32] You will make no covenants with other gods. You shall have no other ruling judges in the place of God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth.
II. Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD 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; You should make no Contracts, Covenants, or Constitution, nor take benefits that obligate you to bow in labor or serve these other man-made gods.
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Once you grasp that these gods are men who become your ruling judges who can then force you to obey their directives through the law of contract, the Bible and these Ten Commandments take on a fuller meaning.
III. Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. You shall not claim to be under the God of Heaven while you go under the authority of another name, father or benefactors, but remain under the LORD's authority only in liberty and righteousness.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Keep in your mind the principle of working first and then enjoying the benefit of that labor, which is Sabbath.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: You will work first.
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD 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: After you complete the work that earned the benefit of rest, you will take that rest which is the Sabbath because you worked first. To borrow is to take the benefit first and work to pay it off. Debt is the antitheses of sabbath.
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. This pattern of earning first is the pattern of my character and way and name. Keeping the Sabbath keeps you from the debt that makes you merchandise of others wherein you owe your service to another, for your debt is a curse your children inherit.
IV. Exodus 20:12 Honour[11] thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. You shall honor[11] your Father by taking care of your parents in love and hope that your children will care for you, rather than to seek the Corban of unrighteousness to provide the needed care in social welfare schemes by force.
V. Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill. You shall not take, by force nor cunning, any proper part of another Man’s life or liberty. You shall not allow your fierce anger to corrupt life.
VI. Exodus 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. You shall strive to not violate or defile your body or any part of the body of Christ.
VII. Exodus 20:15 Thou shalt not steal. You must not take by force or deception the use or benefit of anything that belongs to another.
VIII. Exodus 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. We must always bear witness to the truth, never doing harm by any falsehood or deception.
IX. Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, You shall not desire the rights nor dominion of others nor take a portion of their labor for your benefit nor bring your neighbor into the bondage of Egypt.
X. Exodus 20:17 thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s. You shall not desire power over rights or possessions of other man’s Family. No benefits should be desired that came at the expense of your neighbor's property, labor nor any system of compelled offerings.
  • Joshua 1:8 KJV - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

As you see in the table above, people have tried to group these commandments of God into 10 distinct statements. The Roman Catholics use one arrangement. The protestants have another. The Jews have another. Why is there not one standard way to group them into 10? Consider that the "Ten" is not about a count, but refers to whom the commandments are for. The "Ten Commandments" are the Commandments for the "Tens". They are the blueprint for God's way to live in community with one another, as is the kingdom pattern of Tens, Hundreds and Thousands as even Christ "commanded" in Mark 6:39. They are the guideposts marking God's way so we know when we are straying from the path.[33] We are not forced to follow His way but there are natural and man-made consequences for living apart from God. Just as there are rewards for remaining committed to His way.
