Songbob, is that you have used a criteria for dividing them that is kind of arbitrary. There really are 14 or 15 separate imperative statements there, and much more authoritative folks than you or me have divided them differently. St. Augustine figured 10 to be two commandments. The Talmud figures "I am the Lord, thy God" to be a commandment on its own.

The problem is that they aren't numbered--in fact the phrase "Ten Commandments" doesn't appear in Exodus nor Deuteronomy, where the commandments are listed (in the original Hebrew, the word is more like "sayings" or "declarations"), so scholars have divided them up on their own, because the Bible does say Moses was given ten of whatever you want to call them.

I'm not pointing any fingers, but if *someone* hadn't broken the tablets up and then had to recreate the documents from memory, we wouldn't have this problem:-)
