Time to put the ten commandments back in the classroom?
#22
There are disagreements about how to allocate the material in #1 and #2, and whether coveting all goes into #10 or should be split between #9 and #10.

Although most of the material is the same, the decisions of what to leave out and what to group together do reflect differences in emphasis that are characteristic of each religious group.

There are at least three different ways to segment the text: Jewish, Protestant/Orthodox, and Catholic/Lutheran. There may be more.

For more religion than you ever thought you'd care about, do a close reading of the following:

Of particular interest are whether the prohibition against graven images stays or goes, and whether coveting someone else's wife should be distinguished from coveting their stuff.
