A:The tenth Commandment is "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's." Clearly Moses, and indeed all the Israelites with him, seem to have coveted the land of the Canaanites, thus appearing to break the tenth Commandment. The biblical explanation is that it was God's wish that they do so. In the Book of Joshua, it was similarly God's wish that they break the sixth and eighth Commandments.

Another Answer:

If you mean Moses' breaking of the two tablets containing God's Commandments, then you may read it here. God never entices anyone to break His Law as we each have free will:

Exodus 32:19New King James Version (NKJV)

19 So it was, as soon as he came near the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing. So Moses' anger became hot, and he cast the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain.

Who wrote the tenth Commandment?

The tenth Commandment (Exodus 20:17: "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's."According to the Book of Exodus, the Ten Commandments were given to Moses by God. However, this commandment is out of place for a wandering band and would remain anachronistic for centuries after the time attributed to Moses. It was clearly written later in the first millennium BCE. There are grounds for assigning this to the anonymous seventh-century-BCE source now known as the Deuteronomist.

Why is slavery not in the Ten Commandments?

Slavery is in the Ten Commandments. Among other things, the tenth commandment says not to covet my neighbour's slaves (usually translated as manservant and maidservant). This is one Commandment I would be very happy to break if I found my neighbour holding slaves.Does it mean that GOD recognise slavery while HE/SHE is supposed to treat all equally. I am not able to appreciate this.
