Decalogue

TEN COMMANDMENTS Exodus 20: 3-17 We might regard the Decalogue as the first attempt to define the Universal Laws, which would assure a life of happiness in the phenomenal reality. This is NOT a religious document, but an inspired search for Secular Ethics. Moses faced the same problem as had the later prophets of Israel, and even Yeshûa, later known as Jesus the Messiah, in attempting to instill in his people the need to accept responsibility for their actions. He also wanted to liberate them from the Egyptian pantheon of some 2000 deities.
