TEN COMMANDMENTS
The Ten Commandments appear twice in the Hebrew Bible, in the books
of Exodus and Deuteronomy. According to the story in Exodus, God inscribed them on
two stone tablets, which he gave to Moses on Mount Sinai. Modern scholarship has found likely
influences in Hittite and Mesopotamian laws and treaties, but is divided over exactly when the
Ten Commandments were written and who wrote them.
HISTORY
Who is Moses?
The new king of Egypt was a wicked man. He made the people from Canaan who were
called Jews stay in Egypt and do all the work. He even tried to kill all of the Jewish baby boys.
But God had a plan.
A Jewish mother hid her baby boy in a basket and set it on the river. The river carried the
basket to the kings house. Oh, look! cried the kings daughter when she found the basket. Its
a baby! The princess took the baby home and named him Moses. Moses grew up safe and
strong in the kings own house!
God wanted Moses to lead the Jews out of Egypt. So God sent grasshoppers to eat up the
kings wheat. He sent frogs and other-things to pester the king. God did not stop until the king
let the Jewish people go.
A big sea lay between Egypt and Israel. Moses and the people had no boats. So God
parted the sea and made a path for them right through the water!
God called Moses up to the top of a mountain. He wrote Ten Commandments on two big
stones and gave them to Moses. The commandments told the Jews how to live. God said: Tell
the people to follow these rules and I will protect them.
God helped Moses lead the Jews back to the land that became known as Israel.
