Moses came down with 10 of them. Then the priestly class of the Jews (the one-percenters) got in the act and invented about 1,000 more and there by created bureaucracy.
He was getting tired of Moses’s constant pestering him, so when Moses came up the last time, He told Moses, “Take two of these tablets and call me in the morning!”
Various versions of the bible mention other numbers of commandments, order them in some other way, sometimes merge two or split one, and generally prove that “the bible” is more of a concept than an actual thing.
