The ten commandments without laws that were given to Moses by God for his people. They were written on two stone tablets, by the finger of God, on Mount Sinai these are the 10 laws:

1-you will not have other gods before me

2-you will not make for yourself sculpture, or any image, do not be inclined to them, you will not serve him

3-you will not take the name of your God in vain

4-You will keep the Sabbath (Sabbath)

5-Honor your father and mother so that your days on earth may be prolonged

6-you will not kill

7-you shall not commit adultery

8-you will not steal

9-you will not say false
testimonies against your neighbor

10-You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his house, not any of your neighbor's.

The laws are part of the old covenant and also of the new covenant (grace through Jesus).

Jesus summarizes the ten commandments in two commandments, the first and great commandment
