The first four commandments are religious values. The people were to have no other gods before God, not keep images, or worship images nor take the name of God in vain, and were to keep holy the Sabbath.
The fifth commandment demonstrates the patriarchal nature of society. It was once a capital offence if a son even struck his father or mother.
Commandments 6,7, 8 and nine are against murder, stealing, adultery and false testimony against one's neighbour. These are all values necessary for a successful society. It is instructive that the Israelites were not prohibited from giving false testimony against a gentile, since 'neighbour' meant another Israelite. It was not considered adultery for a man to have sex with a single woman, widow or prostitute, and the commandment against adultery was intended more to protect male rights.
Although Israel and Judah were not great slave-owning societies, because they were usually not dominant military powers, the tenth commandment includes an injunction not to covet a neighbour's male or female slaves, in recognition of the rights of slave-owners.
The covenant said to have been made with Abraham and renewed with Isaac and Jacob, shows the value the Hebrew people placed in justifying their claim to all of the land of the Canaanites. They could have said, "We just took the land, because we could," but chose to demonstrate divine approval for the legendary military conquest that followed.

If you opened the ark of the covenant would the same thing happen as it did in the movie Indiana Jones and the raiders of the lost ark?
If the Ark of the Covenant, given to Moses by God during the Exodus from Egypt, is ever found, history will have to be rewritten. It is the strong consensus of historians that there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, which means there should be no Ark of the Covenant.For more information on the Exodus from Egypt, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/bible/the-book-of-exodus
What year and why were the Ten Commandments taken out of US public schools?
A:In 1980 (Stone v. Graham), a United States Supreme Court decision struck down a Kentucky law requiring that a copy of the Ten Commandments be posted in every public school classroom, the Court saying:"The pre-eminent purpose for posting the Ten Commandments on schoolroom walls is plainly religious in nature. The Ten Commandments are undeniably a sacred text in the Jewish and Christian faiths, and no legislative recitation of a supposed secular purpose can blind us to that fact. The Commandments do not confine themselves to arguably secular matters, such as honoring one's parents, killing or murder, adultery, stealing, false witness, and covetousness. Rather, the first part of the Commandments concerns the religious duties of believers: worshipping the Lord God alone, avoiding idolatry, not using the Lord's name in vain, and observing the Sabbath Day."The reasoning shown above was based on the constitutional requirement for separation of church and state. Presumably the Ten Commandments would have been acceptable if texts from the Koran and various other scriptures had been given equal prominence.
How did God lead the Hebrew people through the wilderness?
A:According to the Book of Joshua, God instructed Joshua to bring down the walls of Jericho and gave him a strategy for the conquest of the city of Ai. He also instructed Joshua to murder every single person in the cities they conquered, so that they could never rise up against the Israelites. In defence of God, at least in respect to the acts of genocide, it should be stated that almost all scholars now believe that there was no biblical invasion of Canaan. Jericho and Ai had already been abandoned long before the time attributed to Joshua, and almost every city identified with the invasion either did not exist at that time or shows no sign of conquest at the relevant time. The Israelites had arrived peacefully from the region of the Canaanite coastal cities and settled into the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland.
Who were the two people from Egypt to see the promise land?
Here the two people only from Egypt to see the promised land were Joshua and Moses. Please kindly note Even though Moses was not allowed to set his foot in the promised land of Canaan , he was shown the land by God from a far distance.
Are descendants of Abraham Israelites?
No, they are descendants from Africans. The Descendants of the original Hebrews are modern day Jews. Additionally, when the Assyrians conquered Israel many of them would have intermarried with other Arabic and Semitic people groups, as well as the two remain tribes in Judah. Contrary to what many teach the 10 lost tribes of Israel, were not technically lost, they were only lost in the sense that they inter-married and lost their unique ethnic identity. Any teaching that the 10 "lost" tribes of Israel either became the African race or the European race (The KKK teaches this), is racist propaganda that is intended to divide, discriminate, and oppress. Like racism itself these teachings have no basis in reality and no place in Christianity or in any part of the civilized world.

On a graph it is shown by a line that goes from the bottom left towards the top right. There are fewer conventions about presenting data in a table and it is not possible to say how it might be shown. One possibility is that there is a column of y values and a column of x values. And both increase (decrease) together.
