The 10 Commandments stand out among the Laws of Moses. God gave 613 commands to Moses, but the 10 Commandments have always been special. They were the first commandments given by God to Moses. These 10 Commandments, the scripture says, God gave spoke to all Israel. They heard God speaking these commandments to Moses. They were etched in stone to say these things are forever. They are unchangeable. Only these 10 Moses brought down on stone tablets. These 10 Commandments were placed inside the Ark of the Covenant, that sat in the center of the sanctuary in the Temple of ancient Israel. The Ark of the Covenant contained the record of the covenant God made with Israel, and the 10 Commands were the summation and foundation of everything else that would follow. The 10 commandments form the foundation of human interaction and society around the world today.
