3249.—The Commandments of the Bible.—

3249.—The Commandments of the Bible.— T.—We have once before answered this question. It would be impossible to give all the commandments of the Bible, be they ever so small, without printing a great part of the Bible. This is entirely out of the question. The Lord tells us by the prophet Hosea (8:12), "I wrote for him the ten thousand things of My law; but they are counted as a strange thing." The American Revised Version. The regular Revised Version speaks of God's drawing out His law into ten thousand precepts. Every injunction in God's Word would be among the commandments of the Lord. The words "precept," "testimony," "judgment," "statute," and still other terms are used, synonyms of commandment. Nor have we space to give all the references where the word "Sabbath" occurs. Our correspondent should secure a good concordance. One can be gotten very reasonably, and such things as that could more easily be looked up through a concordance than to take space in our paper for it. He may have some neighbor who would be only too glad to loan a concordance for a little time in looking up such a matter.
