Ten Commandments again

Posted by Shae on June 30, 2005

Apologies for starting a new thread on the same topic but the old one was getting lost down below.

I checked my 'Oxford Study Bible' and found:

'Decalogue: See "Ten Commandments."'

'Ten Commandments: Exod. 20.1 - 17; 34.28; Lev. 19.1-4; Deut. 5.6 - 21, 10.4'

Exodus 20.1 - 17 relates how the Ten Commandments were written in stone by the God who confered with Moses.
Leviticus and Deuteronony retell, with embellishments, the story of The Ten Commandments as told in Exodus.

There's no doubt in my mind that 'The Ten Commandments' refers to those refered to in Exodus. I think it's safe to say that most people who are aware of the term are of the same opinion.
