Is the Torah the ten commandandments?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Yes, the Ten Commandments (Exodus ch.20) are part of the Torah, which contains hundreds of commandments.

(Note that the phrase "Ten Commandments" is not a correct translation of the original name. In Hebrew, they are called "Asseret HaDibrot" which means "The Ten Statements.")

Answer 3

No, the Torah actually has over 600 commandments for Jews. Christians follow the 10 commandments, Jews follow the Torah.

Answer 4

Yes, they are included in the 613 Mitzvot.

Answer 5

Yes; their only source is the Torah (Exodus ch.20). All other places in which they can be found, have taken them from the Torah, which predates them.
