This answer is from the Christian belief system:

The two tablets inscribed with the 10 commandments was given to Moses by God on the mountain. These were then stored in the Ark of the covenant.

The Christian 10 commandments are as stated in the Old Testament from this story. The Old testament is based on the Torah and forms the basis of Jewish Law

Christ (the son of God) simplified the commandments to two thus:-

"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

In other words, if you follow these two commandments, you will never do what the rest tell you not to do. This is what Christians believe.

Is the Torah the ten commandandments?

Yes, to a degree. Yes, because the Ten Commandments are the only ones that God spoke aloud to the entire assembled Israelite nation (Exodus ch.19-20). And yes, because honoring God and shunning idolatry are the underpinnings of the entire Jewish religion and Torah. On the other hand, there are a number of commands and beliefs that are as important (or as stringent) as the Ten Commandments but are not listed among them. Note that the full text of the Israelite covenant is the entire Torah, not the Ten Commandments alone.

Why doesn't everybody know the Ten Commandments?

The source of the Ten Commandments is in the Jewish Torah (Exodus ch.20), from which they were adopted by Christianity and, to a significant degree, by Western society in general. However, many people are aware of these Commandments but haven't learned them well enough to know them by heart.In Islam, the Ten Commandments are present to some degree. Several of the Ten Commandments have their parallels in passages in the Qur'an; and the Qur'an refers to the Torah (as a whole) as being God-given (for the Jews).Other people, however, may or may not have heard of the Ten Commandments, especially in parts of the world where Christianity and Judaism constitute a small minority.See also:More about the Ten Commandments
