If you search for "beatitudes", you will not find them. The beatitudes come from a section of the Sermon on the Mount, which was given by Jesus. The are the "blessed are" statements that come from Matthew 5:3-12.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God" can be found in Matthew 5:3. It is part of a list called the Beattitudes.
The Beattitudes
It is often known by some of its components, including the beatitudes and the golden rule.
The beattitudes teach us how to be better people of God. It tells us what we can do to please God.
The bible is canonized, that is, the early church people got together in committees like the Nicene Council, and determined through God which parts of ancient scrolls should be included in the Holy Bible, and which should not be. The result is an accepted Holy Bible that is unchangeable and still be called a Holy Bible. Granted, there are various 'versions' of the Holy Bible, but they include that same Books, Chapters, and Verses, but with different translations. For example, one of the Beattitudes says that the 'meek shall inherit the Earth'. A more correct translation might say that the 'unpretentious' shall inherit the Earth, or the 'patient and gentle' shall inherit the Earth.

The French word for 'Bible' is "la Bible."
Basically, because the 10 commandments were about what you did, your physical actions, but the Beattitudes are a much higher and more difficult level: they are not just about what you do, not even what you say, but about what you think. ( Wrong thoughts precede wrong actions, and our thoughts can only be brought under control with Jesus Christ. )
