The Ten Commandments, also known as the Decalogue, are a set of biblical principles relating to ethics and worship, which play a fundamental role in Judaism and Christianity. They include instructions to worship only God and to keep the sabbath, and prohibitions against idolatry, blasphemy, murder, theft, dishonesty, and adultery. Different groups follow slightly different traditions for interpreting and numbering them. Terminology[edit] In biblical Hebrew, the Ten Commandments are called עשרת הדברים (transliterated Asereth ha-D'bharîm) and in Rabbinical Hebrew עשרת הדברות (transliterated Asereth ha-Dibroth), both translatable as "the ten words", "the ten sayings" or "the ten matters".[2] The Tyndale and Coverdale English translations used "ten verses".

The Geneva Bible appears to be the first to use "tenne commandements", which was followed by the Bishops' Bible and the Authorized Version (the "King James" version) as "ten commandments". Story in Exodus and Deuteronomy[edit] Traditions: Maurice Cotterrell. Isaac NewtonùReligious Works Finally Published. It has been over 270 years since his death, but a religious manuscript by Isaac Newton is finally being published. Newton was a world-renowned physicist and mathematician who was born in 1642 in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England—the same year Galileo died. The World Book Encyclopedia says that Sir Isaac Newton was “one of the greatest names in the history of human thought.” Albert Einstein, the American genius credited for many life-changing discoveries, once praised Sir Isaac by stating that his own work would have been impossible except for the discoveries of Newton.

By the age of twenty-seven, Isaac was known as an “unparalleled genius.” His first major public scientific achievement was the invention, design, and construction of a reflecting telescope. To the chagrin of many college students, Newton also invented the mathematical format known as calculus. In addition to his scientific contributions, however, Newton was a deeply religious man.
