The 10 Commandments


The 10 Commandments is also called a "Decalogue".The English name "Decalogue" came from a Greek word "dekalogos" which means "ten terms". God gave Moses The 10 Commandments in a form of 2 stones. Which was given to Moses by God on the Mount of Sinai. Mount Sinai is also known as Horeb.
