How many commandments of god are in the bible?

Answer 1

There are the 10 major commandments that God gave to Moses on Mt. Sinai. Using a more loose interpretation of "commandments," there are hundreds of things that God actually commands in the Bible. In total, there are 613 commandments, all found in the Old Testament. On an interesting side note, traditional Jews believe that these commandments only apply to the Jewish people.

If you are talking about The Bible there are ten given to Moses by God.

Answer 2

In Exodus 20: 2-17 there are 17 commandment statements.

In Deuteronomy 5: 6-21 there are 21 commandment statements.

These are usually condensed into 10 statements.

Jewish tradition teaches that there are 613 commandments (see related link below)

Cain was warned not to be angry as sin would enter and take hold of him. Sin is not keeping God's commands:

Genesis 4:6-7New King James Version (NKJV)

6 So the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it."

Adam and Eve were driven out of the Garden of Eden due to disobedience to God. It can be inferred that Adam was fully instructed on God's Law and in turn fully taught Eve.
