Actually there are almost 700 commandments ... the Ten (otherwise known as the "Decalogue" were just a few taken out which were the most important because they were based on religious and moral imperatives Then too, there really are only nine commandments ... the first is a statement ....
"I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; "
All the rest of the six hundred or so Commandments had to do with other things such as dietary laws, etc.

Well, God did give him the 10 Commandments, to be sure — but somehow, the Jews ended up with 613 commandments... hoo-boy!
If you want to see all 613, they are here with the Scripture references, too... LOL...
