The 613 Commandments in the Old Testament (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798379368852)

There are a whole lot more than only 10 Commandments found in the Old Testament, there are 613 Commandments! Below is a list of the 613 mitzvot commandments (mitzvot is plural, mitzvah is singular).

There are both "positive" and "negative" mitzvot (do's and don'ts) which can be divided into:

365 Negative Mitzvot - (To remind us not to do bad things every day of the year) plus

248 Positive Mitzvot - (The number of bones in the human body - for a total of 613).

In this way, the Hebrews and the Jewish people were able to obey the mitzvot with their entire body. It is important to know that while God gave us many commands to follow, including the famous Ten Commandments, He did not abolish the Law of Moses found in the Torah (the first five Books of the Bible).

The following commandments are superseded by the new covenant of grace. The Law is God's Divine Instructions in Righteousness without which man would have NO blueprint for; Moral, Holy Living

Jesus Christ forbids us from thinking that he came to "abolish the law or the prophets." These were rabbinical, man-made opinions and traditions that kept people in bondage. Neither He nor His apostles ever spoke against the Law nor suggested that after Jesus' death the Torah was to become null and void.

The Apostle Paul said, "Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law." (Romans 3:31)

248 positive Mitzvot / Commandments ("the Do's")
365 negative ones ("the Don'ts").
