Decalogue

Mauro Bigloni

The Laws for Humans

However, he points out an interesting aspect regarding the discussion of the Decalogue, which he intends to highlight in his talk.

Among these 613 commandments, Biglino notes that in the West, people have been taught the so-called Decalogue, the ten commandments that are widely known.

Instead, he aims to show how the Decalogue considered fundamental in the Bible differs from what is commonly taught.

Biglino examines the first commandment in the Decalogue found in the Book of Exodus, which says: "I am Yahweh, your Elohim." While the catechism translates this as "I am the Lord your God," Biglino prefers to keep the original wording.

This Decalogue includes laws such as not making alliances with other nations, not worshiping other gods, and not making idols.

Biglino concludes by noting that the Decalogue in Exodus 34 forms the basis of the covenant that Yahweh made with Moses and the people of Israel, not with all of humanity.
