What would Western society look like without these Commandments?
1) "I am the Lord your God..." has shaped the Western beliefs about God. Pantheism and polytheism, which were excuses for immorality, are out.
2) The 7-day week, including a day of rest for everyone, is thanks to the Fourth Commandment.
3) Without the Fifth Commandment, society might still permit abandoning our aged parents to die.
4) Without the Sixth Commandment, we might still be killing our own children. Aristotle, who was among the greatest of the Greeks, and Seneca, the famous Roman, both write that killing one's young babies is perfectly acceptable; and that was the practice in their societies.
The above are just a few examples.
The two long-lasting effects of the Ten Commandments include shaping ethical principles for many societies and religions, and influencing legal systems and moral codes around the world. Additionally, the Commandments have had a significant impact on the development of Western civilization and continue to be a foundational text for Judeo-Christian beliefs.
Moses wrote the Ten Commandments on two stone tablets on Mount Sinai.
The two structures were the Tabernacle, a portable tent used by the Israelites during their desert wanderings, and the Ark of the Covenant, a sacred container that housed the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments.
The Ten Commandments are traditionally kept in the Ark of the Covenant. According to biblical accounts, they were inscribed on two stone tablets given to Moses on Mount Sinai.
The Bible is a religious text that encompasses various stories, teachings, and beliefs of Christianity, while the Ten Commandments are a set of ethical and moral guidelines given by God to Moses in the Bible, specifically in the book of Exodus. The Bible is a more comprehensive collection of scriptures, while the Ten Commandments are a specific set of laws within the Bible.
In some religious traditions, there are two sets of Ten Commandments. The most well-known set is found in the Bible in Exodus 20:1-17, while another set is found in Deuteronomy 5:6-21. The content of the commandments is similar in both sets but with slight variations.

The Ten Commandments
The Ten Commandments can be divided in two sets of laws. First set of laws pertaining to reverence for God and second pertaining to love and reverence for others.In Matthew 22:34-40 Jesus condensed the Ten Commandments into two such sets:1. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind"2. "Love your neighbor as yourself"."On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
