	613 mitzvot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to the main source, of these 613, 248 are mitzvot aseh ("positive commandments") and 365 are mitzvot lo taaseh ("negative commandments").
		However, there were two commandments which God directed straight at the Jewish people: the first two of the Ten Commandments; these are phrased in the first person.
		The tzitzit ("knotted fringes") of the tallit ("[prayer] shawl") are tied to the 613 commands by interpretation: principal Torah commentator Rashi bases the number of knots on a gematria: the word tzitzit (Hebrew: ציצת (Biblical), ציצית, in its Mishnaic spelling) has the value 600.

	Revelation of November 1, 1831
		Testimony of the witnesses to Book of Commandments §.
		The testimony of the Three Witness and Eight Witnesses to the Book of Mormon had been published in the Book of Mormon but the original testimony of the witnesses to the Book of Commandments was not published, nor does there seem to be a signed copy extant.
		The testimonies of the Book of Mormon witnesses was originally printed at the back of the book, so Roberts is correct in suggesting the testimony of the Book of Commandments witnesses might have been destroyed by the mob.

		The book as an entirety, and as presented to the assembly by Oliver Cowdery, on the part of the committee, was then properly voted upon and unanimously adopted and ordered printed.
		This endorsement of the Book of Covenants three years after the attempt to publish the commandments at Independence, Missouri, by one of the committee, and in such strong terms, is striking proof of the correctness of the published work of 1835.
		Another thing is equally true, the Book of Commandments was never received and issued authoritatively by the church, the Book of Doctrine and Covenants, was.

	'Priesthood' in the Book of Commandments Added Later in the D&C? -- Doctrines of the Father and Jesus Christ Discussion ...
		Indeed, with this and the lack of the priesthood being mentioned in the history of the LDS Church many researchers (even including one of the witnesses to the Book of Mormon, David Whitmer) have felt that the Priesthood was all added later, rather than at the beginning, thus discrediting the claim for apostolic authority.
		The problem remains however, when one studies the Book of Commandments and the D&C in the light of the subject of priestly authority, and LDS Church history, it soon becomes very apparent indeed that the Church invented the whole concept.
		This is significant as the LDS Church is built on the concept of Priestly authority being restored.
