The Decalogue, or Decalogue, is considered by Jews and Christians to be the commandments (precepts) that God - the Lord - gave to humans as a directive for a way of life. According to the Old Testament, God gave the two tablets of commandments at Mount Sinai into the hands of Moses. The commandments are listed twice in the Bible; the first time in the book of Exodus, the second time in the book of Deuteronomy.

The traditional interpretation is that the Law as it stands today, including the Ten Commandments, was received by Moses at Sinai. This is held by both orthodox Jews, the Talmud, and fundamentalist Christians.

Biblical criticism, on the other hand, distinguishes different temporal and traditional layers in the Bible, which admits a gradual and mosaic formation of the Bible, including the Ten Commandments. It assumes a very brief form for all the commandments, as in "Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal" (G. v. Rad). In later commentaries and interpretations the two versions differ, and are therefore usually regarded as later additions. F. L. Hoßfeld and W. Johnstone are of the opinion that the whole of the Ten Commandments originated in or after the Babylonian captivity (about the 6th century B.C.). The influence of the Egyptian Book of the Dead may be probable, in the 125th chapter of which, concerning the judgment of the dead, we find at many other points several similarities to those of the Decalogue. The Egyptian Book of the Dead is undoubtedly older than the Bible itself.

According to H. Greßmann and E. Jenni, the core of it dates back to the time of Moses (14th-13th centuries). According to L. Perlitt it dates from the end of the 7th century, J. Wellhausen dates it from the 8th century, etc. The clue is primarily the assumption that the person addressed is a man, a free peasant, married, father of children, son of grandparents, owner of a farm and slaves - a social status to which the (nomadic) Jews developed only in later times. In the emphasis on the Sabbath is again seen the influence of religious life in the Temple period and after the Babylonian captivity. In the emphasis on the oneness of God and in the prohibition against the representation of God is seen a polemic against Babylonian paganism, which may have been seductive to the exiles.
