Kerygma · Doctrine & Theology
Ten Commandments trivia, the verse beside the law.
Two stone tablets, ten directives, given on Sinai and quoted across both Testaments. Kerygma's Ten Commandments category tests the text in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5, the differing numbering between traditions, and the way Jesus and the apostles read them.
What's covered
- The two givings — Exodus 20 (the Sinai event) and Deuteronomy 5 (Moses's restatement on the plains of Moab).
- The numbering — Jewish, Catholic-Lutheran, and Reformed traditions split the ten differently.
- First table — duties to God: no other gods, no images, the Name, the Sabbath.
- Second table — duties to neighbor: honor parents, no murder, no adultery, no theft, no false witness, no coveting.
- Christ's reading — Matthew 5 and the Sermon on the Mount sharpening each.
- Pauline reading — Romans 13 summing the second table in love of neighbor.

Sample question
Where in Scripture do the Ten Commandments first appear?
"And God spoke all these words, saying, 'I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.'"Exodus 20:1-2
The Decalogue first appears in Exodus 20 — given to Moses on Mount Sinai about three months after the Exodus. Deuteronomy 5 is Moses re-presenting the same ten about forty years later, on the plains of Moab, with small but theologically significant differences (the Sabbath rationale especially).
