Do the first four commandments concern themselves more with god or with one another?
In short, they concern themselves more with one's relationship with God.
AnswerThe first four commandments are all about this god and his need for exclusive adoration, worship and homage. Remember that there were always thousands of gods worshipped at this time and throughout history to the present. The first four commandments command the way by which followers will pay homage to this god warning that no other gods will be worshipped, no one is to blame this god for anything that goes wrong and the final warning is to pay homage on a regular basis. They do not express a "relationship" with god any more than the laws in a Dictatorship describe a civilians relationship with their dictator. The first four commandments are the most important and define the rules of obedience. They are a command to worship this god only, by his rules, or else!

Are there 2 sets of Ten Commandments?
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."
