The commandments are not numbered in any ancient mss.

Their numbering is arbitrary according to the tradition someone accepts. Catholics and Lutherans and some Anglicans follow an Augustinian model of numbering.

It’s got nothing to do with numbers. Catholics love them so graven images. So it was either give up the graven images or drop the commandment. They dropped commandment. As for the Information Age, it works in my favor, not yours, since anyone with eyes can see:

“The Roman Catholic revision is obvious: The Vatican eliminates the second commandment against idolatry, and subdivides the tenth commandment against covetousness in order to keep the number of commandments at ten.”
