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

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

"The Ten Commandments are [are said to be] laws or rules handed down to Moses by God on Mount Sinai. An example of the Ten Commandments are "I am the LORD thy God. Thou shalt have no strange gods before Me" and "Thou shall not kill." YourDictionary.com

But the word commandment in the Hebrew is the word mitsvah[1] formed from the Hebrew letters MemTzadikVavHey with the root TzadikVavHey.

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 but the word dabar.


The common Hebrew word for "word", dabar [3] is also translated commandments but only 20 times out of over 1400 appearances in the Bible. 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.

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

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[5] without the Mem which is commonly translated command. The Hebrew word tsav, TzadikVav [6] 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. The answer likely depends on your point of view concerning God more than the words MemTzadikVavHey or DaletBeitReish. The meanings of the Hebrew letters of these words may give you a better perspective on their original meaning.

Certainly any statement by God 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 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 lace 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. {PeterPaulJameswarned}}

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.
