Michael:

Didn’t I reference those verses? I’m sorry, I 
thought I had.

What I noticed is that those verses mention 
the ten statements of the covenant, not ten 
commands. As a legal document, the covenant 
has its first statement identifying the 
parties to it. Then I read this particular 
legal document as having nine commands 
following its introductory statement.

I met some Orthodox Jews who divided the ten 
statements even as I just mentioned, and I 
made the supposition that all Jews so divided 
them.
