→Background: explicit quotation of Dt 5:21 Douay-Rheims Bible
The [[Protestant]] Ten Commandments, stressing their opposition to statues, contain "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image" as the 2nd commandment. The [[Catholic]] Ten Commandments include it as part of the first commandment against having other [[Idolatry|gods]], and divide "Thou shalt not covet" into "...thy neighbor's wife" (9th) the wife having far more dignity than mere ''property'' (chattal), and "...thy neighbor's goods" (10th) which are property.<ref>An atheistic website provides a comparison among faiths with respect to the Ten Commandments, and many sources: http://www.positiveatheism.org/crt/whichcom.htm</ref>

:"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife:
:"nor ''his'' house, nor his field, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his." (Deuteronomy 5:21, [[Douay-Rheims Bible]])
The [[Jewish]] Ten Commandments contain "I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of [[Egypt]], out of the house of [[slavery]]" as the 1st commandment, with their 2nd commandment combining the first two Protestant commandments "Thou shalt have no other gods before me: thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image...thou shalt not bow down thyself to them", and their listing of the remainder of their ten follows the Protestant listing, making wives property.<ref>Ibid. http://www.positiveatheism.org/crt/whichcom.htm</ref>
