Notes The Ten Commandments refers to the words that God wrote on the two stone tablets that Moses brought down from Mount Sinai and then smashed after seeing the praise of the golden calf In the Hebrew Bible these words are called Aseret ha-D'vareem (the Ten Things), and in rabbinical texts they are called Aseret ha-Dibrot (the Ten Sayings or Utterances) The 10 Commandments are said to be the foundation of the 613 commandments (mitzvot) in the Bible, in the Jewish tradition The first five sayings, on the left side of the tablet, concern man's relationship with God - belief in God, prohibition of improper worship, prohibition of oath, shabbat, respect for parents - taught by rabbis The second five sayings, on the right side of the tablet, concern man's relationship with other people - prohibitions of murder, adultery, theft, false witness, coveting Judaism teaches that our relationship to our parents is just as important as our relationship to God because our parents created us The two tablets are parallel Our duties to God are equal to the duties to people
