This variation in counting can be seen even in Christian tradition. Many Christians aren't aware that different "branches" of Christianity actually disagree on which of the Ten Commandments are given which numbers. For example, the Third Commandment ("remember the Sabbath...") for Lutherans (and Catholics)[1] is actually numbered as the Fourth Commandment by Presbyterians (and most other Protestants)Following the traditional Jewish numbering.. So when Lutherans (and Catholics) get to the end of the Decalogue, they actually split the command about "coveting" into two different "commandments" (presumably because there are two different sentences in it).

  1. Following the numbering of Augustine of Hippo.
