    Why they want the Catholic 10 commandments, instead of combining “I am your god” and “have no other gods besides me”, the Catholic version splits those into two commandments, and take the last two and merges them: “Thou shall not covet thy neighbors wife … or any of his other property.”

      This comment made me head to Wikipedia to read up on the differences.

      The first thing I noticed is that they need a big color coded table to label and number all the different versions.

      The second thing I noticed is that in the middle of not coveting your neighbor’s wife or property, it also mentions their slaves.
