What are the 30 categories?
Commandments are organized into categories like Sacrifices & Offerings, Courts & Punishments, Appointed Times, Idolatry, Levites & Priests, Food Laws, Marriage & Family, and more. This makes it easy to study related commandments together.
Why are there three scripture languages?
Each commandment shows the original Hebrew text, the Greek Septuagint translation, and an English translation. This allows you to study the commandment in its original language and compare across translations.
What is a Parashah?
A Parashah is the weekly Torah reading portion in Jewish liturgical tradition. Each commandment shows which Parashah it belongs to, connecting it to the synagogue reading cycle.

How do commandments relate to the New Testament?
Jesus summarized the commandments in two great principles: love God and love your neighbor (Matthew 22:37-40). Paul and other apostles discuss the relationship between the Law and grace throughout the Epistles.
