Think you are wrong

Sorry, it is you who are wrong. You don't read Hebrew do you?

The English phrase "Ten Commandments" in Deut 4:13 is not found in the original Hebrew text. In Hebrew it says, "aseret ha-devarim" [Ten Words]. Guess we have been commanded to perform words - but because you don't understand the Hebrew (Biblical) mindset, in Hebrew WORDS never are without ACTION.

I’ve read the Old Testament in Hebrew, and the New in Greek. My Hebrew is rusty, but Greek is still pretty good.

I love it when people tell me something is not found in the original Hebrew text, you translate it “ten words, another translates them “ten commandments.” Also love it when people tell me what I do and do not understand. So stop with the sophism already, because you know if something is to be obeyed, whatever “word” you use for it, it’s a commendment.

Go read the psalms and see how many times it says to “obey the word.”

Hebrew WORDS never are without ACTION.

This is very important contextual pointer in reading the Hebrew scripture. The root word, דבר, means both.
