Ten Commandments again

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.

I *agree* with Shae, but would mention that the usual Hebrew term for "the ten commandments" is
(using X for het) LuXoT haBRiT = the tables/tablets of the covenant/testimony.
For short, that's lamed-het Loo'aX = table.

There is a Hebrew-Germanic (schwa-less) het-W parallel. There is a Hebrew-Latin het-X parallel.
Therefore, lamed-het = Germanic LaW & Latin LeX.

There are other Hebrew words containing a het that arrive in English with a Germanic W and a Latin X. For example, yod-resh-het YaRa:aX = moon, the growing-est thing in the sky. The English cognates are:
via Germanic: GRoW
via Latin CReX => cresc: increase, decrease, crescendo, crescent, and croissant (a moon-shaped pastry).
