Frequently Asked Questions

What are the 613 commandments?
The 613 commandments (mitzvot) are the complete list of divine instructions found in the Torah — the first five books of the Bible. They were codified by Maimonides in the 12th century and include 248 positive commandments ("do this") and 365 negative ones ("do not do this").
What do the P and N labels mean?
P stands for Positive — a commandment to do something (e.g., "Honor your father and mother"). N stands for Negative — a prohibition (e.g., "You shall not steal"). There are 248 positive and 365 negative commandments.
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.
What is Sefer HaChinuch?
Sefer HaChinuch is a 13th-century work that explains the reasons behind each of the 613 commandments. The number shown here corresponds to that work's ordering system.
Are all commandments still practiced today?
Many commandments relate to the Temple, sacrificial system, or agricultural life in ancient Israel and cannot be practiced today. Others — like ethical and moral commandments — remain universally observed across traditions.
Can I filter by category?
Yes. Use the category pills at the top to filter commandments by any of the 30 categories. You can also filter by polarity (positive/negative) to see only commands or only prohibitions.
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.
Why does the text say "G-d" instead of "God"?
The original data follows Jewish scholarly convention, which avoids writing the full name of God out of reverence. This is a traditional practice in Jewish scholarship and documentation.
