The original two tablets with the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18) were destroyed by Moses (Exodus 32:19). In Exodus 34, God told Moses to "Prepare two stone tablets, like the first ones. I will write on them the same words that were on the tablets you smashed".

The words of the Ten Commandments are listed in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. Their wording differs somewhat, though the commands themselves are identical.

The Ten Commandments were written on two stone tablets and those commandments can be grouped into two categories. In Matthew 22:34-40 Jesus condensed the Ten Commandments into two sets of commands:

1. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind"

2. "Love your neighbor as yourself".

Reverence for God is the basis for the first group, and reverence and love for others was the basis for the second group. If you obeyed both of these commandments then you would obey all Ten Commandments."
