The '''Ten Commandments,''' or the ''Decalogue,'' is a set of laws which, according to the Bible, Moses said were given to him by God.
There are two versions, generally similar but somewhat different in wording: Exodus 20:3-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21. The version in Deuteronomy adds the detail of Moses saying that God "wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me."
The Bible itself does not use the phrase "''ten'' commandments," although the count of ten is traditional and reasonable.
