graven images or idols, depending on the translation, I suppose...
Hmmm... idols seemed to be the BIG bugaboo in the OT.
I wonder why this was left out of the “Catholice” Big 10.
And “wife” and “goods” separated out in the Horizontal?
Seems like a “coverup” for dropping the idol worship prohibition.

I think the best bet is to go with the version which was given to Moses.
That’ll put us as close to “The Source” as possible.

My Hebrew is pretty much non-existent, but I understand the original doesn't have numbering at all.
