Just talk about the first THREE commandments.
you are just lost here. there are TEN commandments, not three.
Well, no, actually there are 613 Commandments in the original "Old
Testament". Latter day Christians adopted the so-called "Ten
Commandments" from the Hebrew text,
Modern christians had a hard time counting above 10, much less
remembering all 613 commandments.
"Aseret Ha-Dibrot" which
literally translated means, "The Ten Statements". "The Ten
Commandments" in Hebrew would be, "Aseret Ha-Mitzvot". In the
original Hebrew, the first so-called "commandment" would be
translated into modern English as: "I am the Lord, your God, who
brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage
[slavery]." That's not a commandment, it's a statement. KM
