The Ten Commandments in the Hebrew Original XII.
Which 10 Commandments?
To which version you mean the 10 commandments - the first given by God to Moses before Moses throw it breaking up or the second "copy" that God gave to Moses or the version of the 10 commandments Jewish, Catholic or Protestant? According to the Bible relates, Moses threw the stone tablets of the 10 commandments and shattered, and God said he would do other tables containing "the words they had in the first." The phrase "the words they had in the first" let us understand that God would reproduce an exact copy of the two tablets of the 10 commandments that Moses broke. However, as we see in Bible itself, the second version of the 10 commandments is not identical to the first.
According to the Bible, in Exodus 20, on the first tablets given to Moses the commandment # 7 says, "Do not commit adultery." PERIOD. He says adultery or fornication. Adultery is sex between two people in which one or both spouses of other people. Fornication is sex between unmarried people.
According to the Bible, in Exodus 34, the second tablets given to Moses the commandment # 7 says, "Do not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread." Obviously, they are not equal these two versions of the seventh commandment. Moreover, it appears none of the words adultery or fornication in the second tablets which had in the first. "An apparent contradiction.
In the version of the Protestant 10 Commandments, the seventh commandment says" Thou shalt not commit adultery. In the Catholic version of the seventh commandment says "Thou shalt not steal." It is in the ninth commandment as Catholicism that says, "Do not covet your neighbor's wife." And in the Jewish commandments, the seventh commandment says "Thou shalt not commit adultery."
Interestingly, the word fornication does not appear in any version, and if two unmarried people of the same sex have sex, there is no prohibition against it among the 10 commandments. Do not forget you are the 10 commandments, according to the Bible, were written by the very finger of God on stone tablets. All other prohibitions are human creations, spécifications, the religious and political leaders of ancient Israel.

Which version is true and valid today?
Referring to the discussion regarding the Saturday versus Sunday Bible texts on Saturday only recognize Jesus and his disciples observed the Sabbath. The Catholic Church based on their inheritance of power given to Peter to bind and loose on earth and also be bound in heaven, changed the Sabbath to Sunday.
Exodus, Chapter 34:27-29: "... 27 Then the LORD said to Moses: - Write these words, because according to them I made a covenant with thee and with Israel. 28 Moses was there with Jehovah forty days and forty nights. not eating bread nor drinking water. And in the tables wrote the words of the covenant: the ten commandments. 29 happened on the down Moses Mount Sinai with two tablets of testimony in his hand as he descended the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone and have been talking with God ... "
Deuteronomy, Chapter 4:1-2 "... 1" now, O Israel, listen to the laws and decrees that I teach you to do, so that you may live and go in and take possession of the land that gives you the LORD God of your fathers. 2 do not add to the words which I command you, neither of them quitéis , that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you ... "
If the Bible
says Moses came down from Mount Sinai with two tablets in his hands on which were written the 10 commandments, then, can argue that in each tablet could be 5 commandments written. If God gave all the 613 laws, then, it took some 122 tablets to contain them and must have had Moísres (1) massive and extremely strong hands to load with so many stone tablets, (2 ) these 613 laws were engraved in letters microscopy in two tablets (3) Moses had to have had an innate grace gazella to negotiate a decent down the slopes of the mountains with such a heavy load distributed in 122 tablets of stone.
Because of what the Bible itself says in Exodus, Chapter 34: 28 that " wrote the words of the covenant: the ten commandments ... (29) ... with two tablets of testimony in his hand ... " and Deuteronomy God says " do not add to the words which I command you, neither of them quitéis ," I believe that God gave only 10 commandments and that the other alleged prohibitions appear later in the Bible, such as not eating meat and drinking milk at a time, fabrics two different fibers like mohair blend with wool, to put under the same yoke an ox and an ass, do not eat pork ( Christmas in Puerto Rico on Route Piglet), no pick up firewood on Saturdays death penalty and other such nonsense that no Christian today, nor obey homophobic Christian fundamentalists, were created and added by ignorant judges and elders, priests and other religious leaders and policy consideration of ancient Israel.
Interestingly, my view has support in the words of Jesus in Matthew, Chapter 23:1-13 1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowd and his disciples, 2 Saying "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in the chair of Moses. 3 So, everything I say do it and keep them, but do not do according to his works, for they say and do. 4 They bind heavy burdens and grievous to be , and lay them on men's shoulders, but they themselves will not move even a finger. 5 Rather, do all their deeds to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments 6. They love the best seats at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7 greetings in the marketplaces and being called by men Rabbi, Rabbi. 8 "But you do not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Teacher, and all ye are brethren. 9 And call no man your Father on earth, for your Father which is in heaven is one. 10 Neither llaméis guide you, because your guide is one, the Christ. 11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant, 12 for he who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. 13 "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites for ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men. Well, you do not enter, nor allow those enter who are coming.
Of course, bad translated and misinterpreted Bible verses that Christian fundamentalist homophobes and others of his pint claim prohibit homosexual relationships were not included in the 10 Commandments. Were added by men wanting to ban male prostitution among the children of Israel custom was practiced by pagan neighbors surrounding ancient Israel.
