Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Commandments listed in the Bible are distilled down to a word or two each, and then associated with the fingers of the left and right hand as a mnemonic device. For the Ten Commandments, paraphrased and distilled, these are:

  • Supreme: Do not have any gods before God.
  • Idols: Do not worship any idols.
  • Irreverence: Do not use the name of God in vain.
  • Sabbath: Do honor the Sabbath day.
  • Parents: Do honor your parents.


  • Murder: Do not kill your neighbor.
  • Adultery: Do not commit adultery with your neighbor.
  • Steal: Do not steal from your neighbor.
  • Lie: Do not lie to your neighbor.
  • Covet: Do not covet what belongs to your neighbor.


The first and the last have to do with one's thoughts. The others pertain to one's actions (which themselves start as thoughts). That is a teaching found in the Torah. In the New Testament, the teaching is condensed further as simply two pillars:

  • Love God.
  • Love your neighbor.


These last two have been referred to as the Great Commandments.
