Tradition holds that these rules were delivered to them by God via Moses, who climbed to the top of Mount Sinai during the Hebrews’ journey through the desert from Egypt to Canaan. They are, then, God’s requirements for how the Hebrews are supposed to behave.The Ten Commandments are also called the Decalogue (or Decalog). This is a word derived from the Greek deka, which means ten, and logos, which means word. It is common in some religious circles to refer to the Ten Commandments as the Ten Words and even list them in the form of “First Word, Second Word, etc.” </blockquote>
