The '''Ten Commandments''', also known as the ''Decalogue'', are a set of biblical [[principles]] relating to [[ethics]] and [[worship]], which play a fundamental role in [[Judaism]], [[Christianity]], and [[Islam]]. They include instructions to worship only God and to keep the [[sabbath]], and prohibitions against [[idolatry]], [[blasphemy]], [[murder]], [[theft]], dishonesty, and [[adultery]]. Different groups follow slightly different [[traditions]] for [[interpreting]] and numbering them.
The ''Ten Commandments'' appear twice in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_Bible Hebrew Bible], in the books of [[Book of Exodus|Exodus]] and [[Book of Deuteronomy|Deuteronomy]]. According to the story in Exodus, God inscribed them on two stone tablets, which he gave to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Sinai Mount Sinai]. Modern scholarship has found likely [[influences]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hittites Hittite] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamian Mesopotamian] laws and treaties, but is divided over exactly when the Ten Commandments were written and who wrote them.

These commands of the [[Salem]] [[religion]] were:
*1.You shall not serve any [[God]] but the [[Most High]] [[Creator]] of [[heaven]] and [[earth]].
*2. You shall not [[doubt]] that [[faith]] is the only requirement for [[eternal]] [[salvation]].
*3. You shall not bear false [[witness]].

*5. You shall not steal.
*6. You shall not commit [[adultery]].
