why are the 10 commandments misquoted?

The bible has 3 different lists of the 10 commandments. The one most commonly quoted begins in Exodus Chapter 20. There is a list matching the Exodus 20 one in Deuteronomy.

The one you stumbled on is the "second set" that God gives to Moses after Moses destroys the first set -- except that at the beginning of Chapter 34 the Lord says he is going to write the original set over again. But, as you've found, they don't match at all.

I leave the solution of this problem to those who insist loudly that the bible has no contradictions.

Sweetie, no one changed or misquoted them.

Scripture is not written by chapter and verse the way we know it today. The original language is written backwards without any punctuation. Check out peshitta.org for a better idea. It's the Syriac Aramaic version. Almost the same language Jesus himself would have spoken.

Different translations have different words. Different translations even separate chapter and verse in variations. That's why some bibles have 150 psalms and others, 151.

Different denominations separate the commandments in different ways.

Did you know there are actually over 600 commandments in the Pentateuch? That which the Hebrews call The Torah, the first 5 books of the Bible.

So no one is misquoting. No one is changing. We all just interpret differently. As much as I dislike Wikipedia, it has a pretty good way of showing how different denominations handle separating the Big 10.

Have you ever visited Biblegateway.com? You might want to. You can view many translations of the bible at one time.

Those are covenants that God told Moses to write down for the children of Israel. Not the 10 Commandments.

The 10 Commandments are listed in Exodus 20: 3-13.

Exodus 34: 13-28 says nothing about some 10 commandments.

Because from Exodus (Exodus 20:2–17) and Deuteronomy (Deuteronomy 5:6–21), the Ten Commandments are just slightly different.

In the two passages I mentioned, part of the kosher laws are not mentioned.

Those are not the ten commandments. Those were laws God gave the Jews to keep them holy and pure and were just for the Jews.

The actual commandment are at Exodus 20:1-17.

The list you wrote was additions at the Renewal of the Covenant after the very First Commandment was broken by the worshiping of that golden calf.

The bible has been changed so many times because it was written and re-written hundreds of times by(you guessed it) man. Every question you could have about God was asked by the author Neale donal Walsch in the Conversations with God books..(Available at your library) Even more important you can read God's answers to these questions..Get a copy of this miracle book and begin living the life of joy that God intended.. God bless.

The bible was originally in another language, so translators have managed to get a lot of things wrong over time.

Even in Genesis, there was no word to describe "period of time" so they decided to say the Universe was created in 7 "days"

I'm not sure, but there is so much variation out there on original words, its no wonder people are able to misquote it.

Sure?

Look in the real world.

Must be after someone thrown down the original and broke it into pieces and swap it with a replacement one in time.
