The ten commandments follow a specific plan. They start with the most important and obvious and go to the less important and less obvious. The first four define duties towards God, while the following five define duties towards other people. The last commandment speaks of controlling one's thoughts and desires. the ten Commandments were rules for life given by God to the people of Israel on Mount Sinai. The rules were written on stone tablets.The purpose of the ten commandments is to emphasize the value of the laws in revealing the love of Jesus Christ for humanity in every age. The Mosaic Law set forth numerous offenses that were punishable by death. The first was murder. Third, capital punishment was to be used against perpetrators of sexual sins such as rape, incest, or homosexual practice.
