Hello, I read my morning devotion through "In Touch" by Charles Stanley. Well in today's reading he says there are 613 commandments handed down through Moses. I only ever heard of 10. What am I missing? Can someone refer me to what scripture showing the rest? Thank you, God bless.
Just to add to what Skip replied. An easy way to look over the OT Laws are type in "613 Mitzvot laws" on your computer. There are several websites with them all listed, with their links "book, chapter, verse", in the Bible. Just a little easier to look over them but not every single detail will be written as in the Bible.
They are in Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, it is a long read, it covers what sacrifices are needed and more. They started Genesis 1 and when Noah came off the Ark. I think after you start reading you will recognize them, but if you read these books there are more than the laws in these books.
You'll have to read Exodus, Leviticus and Deuteronomy. This is where God gives Moses instructions for The Jews to live in The Old Covenant. We live in The New Covenant. The Old Covenant rules are not for us. They can instruct us about how God related with His People, The Jews. But we can be instructed by these things.
"Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come." 1Co 10:11
Here's what Paul said about the purpose for The Law:
"Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith." Gal 3:24
I think he might be referring to what is called the Mishna. The Mishna was a set of 613 rules telling the Jews how to keep the 10 commandments.

Hope that helps. God Bless.
