ten commandments
Core guiding maxims
The Ten Commandments are the biblical laws given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai, foundational to Jewish and Christian moral teaching.
They include prohibitions against murder, theft, adultery, and false witness, plus commands to honor God and parents.
References to the Ten Commandments often invoke absolute moral authority: Thou shalt not kill is one of the Ten Commandments.
