Biblical context
Where it sits in Scripture
Given at Sinai
Spoken by God to Israel at Mount Sinai after the Exodus — , .Written in stone
Written on two tables of stone with the finger of God — ; broken and given again — , .Restated
Moses repeats them on the plains of Moab — ; the tables were kept in the ark — , .Summed up
Jesus sums the law in two commandments — ; love is the fulfilling of the law — .Written on the heart
The new covenant writes the law in the heart — , ; the law leads us to Christ — .Note — The numbering shown is the one used by Baptists and most Protestants. Roman Catholic and Lutheran numbering joins the first two and divides the tenth; Jewish tradition counts as the first word. The text itself is the same.
Note — Christians differ on how the fourth commandment applies today: some keep the Lord's Day (Sunday) as the Christian sabbath, others see the sabbath fulfilled in Christ's rest (, ). Both views are held by conservative believers.
