  Ten Commandments - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ten Commandments, or Decalogue, is a list of religious and moral imperatives which, according to the Bible, was spoken by YHWH to Moses on Mount Sinai and engraved on two stone tablets.
Still, the Ten Commandments are generally considered to be subject headings to larger groups or subdivisions of the 613 commandments of the Torah; a number of works (starting with Rabbi Saadia Gaon) has made groupings of the commandments according to their links with the Ten Commandments.
The commandment not to commit adultery is traditionally taken to be a heading for a general rule to be sexually pure, the specific content of the purity depending, of course, on whether one is married or not.

The Ten Commandments, or Decalogue, are a list of religious and moral imperatives that feature prominently in Judaism and Christianity.
The name decalogue is derived from the Greek name δέκα λόγοι or dekalogoi ("Ten Words") found in the Septuagint, which is the Greek translation of the Rabbinic Hebrew Aseret ha-Divrot עשרת הדברות and the Biblical Hebrew Aseret ha-Dvarîm עשרת הדברים, both translatable as "The Ten Utterances".
The Ten Commandments are found, in two very similar versions in Exodus 20:2-17 [1] (http://bible.ort.org/books/pentd2.asp?ACTION=displaypageandBOOK=2andCHAPTER=20) and Deuteronomy 5:6-21 [2] (http://bible.ort.org/books/pentd2.asp?ACTION=displaypageandBOOK=5andCHAPTER=5), in the Hebrew Bible, known to Christians as the Old Testament.

 The Ten Commandments (1956)
There aren’t enough three-hour-plus movies to make any real generalizations about their success, and most of the flicks on this list are older “event” programs; Titanic was the only epic since the Sixties to reach the chart.
My attempts to give Commandments a letter grade were tough enough due to the age of the film, but these were exacerbated by the movie’s many effects shots.
Because of that, The Ten Commandments will have to settle for a “B+”, but I must admit I was very tempted to grant the film a higher mark; this really was a fine soundtrack.
