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.
The Bible itself does not use the phrase "''ten'' commandments." The count of ten is traditional. Different religious groups have varied as to how they parcel up the fifteen or sixteen verses to form ten commandments. For example, "You shall have no other gods before me" and "You shall not make for yourself an idol" are sometimes considered to be two different commandments and sometimes as two parts of the same commandment.

'''The Ten Commandments''' is also the title of a famous 1956 motion picture, produced and directed by Cecil B. DeMille and starring Charlton Heston as Moses. It tells the story of Moses essentially as told in the Book of Exodus, with a few changes.
As publicity for the film, and in conjunction with a project of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, Paramount helped finance the erection of hundreds of large stone monoliths engraved with the Ten Commandments. These were placed at courthouse squares, at city halls and in public parks, and became a center of controversy, particularly in recent years, as to whether they violate the separation of Church and State.<ref>''Ten Commandments Monoliths'', from the March 2002 issue of ''Eagle Magazine''[http://www.foe.com/tencommandments/]mar_2002_ten_commandments.html</ref>
