The Ten Commandments, or Decalogue are not actually a single "biblical" reality, they are a more-or-less modern creation of cinema; there are different lists of "commandments" in different parts of the bible.  When Jesus lists his "Father's commandments", there are only five!

Answer 16

Yes, they are.

The first 4 talk about what constitutes a crime against God, the 5-th regards honoring parents, who are like earthly representations of God, and the other five refer to crimes between man and fellow man, from the most serious (murder), to the less serious (adultery, stealing), then a sin that is committed through words and not actions (bearing false witness), and finally, a crime of thought, committed within the person's mind (coveting thy neighbor's wife, etc.)
