Translations:Is there a "two tables" division in the Ten Commandments?/23/en
From Theonomy Wiki
Throughout history, Christian teachers have often given the Ten Commandments a special status over the rest of God's law. In one (limited) sense, the Ten Commandments do function as a kind of "executive summary" of God's law. Many of the individual apodictic and case laws are meaningfully symbolized by one of the commandments. There is a sense in which all of the various laws that have to do with Sabbath observance are summarized by the sentence "remember the Sabbath". All of the various laws that warn about idolatry (and prescribe civil punishments for idolaters) are summed up in the commandments against graven images and have other Gods before YHWH.
