As it says in Wikipedia these ten principles seem to be the distilled wisdom of many cultures. In the Jewish-Christian-Islamic tradition there are rather more than the memorable ten but the focus is on the first :- the obligation to love God. The problem with that is that within monotheism, the Almighty is not a person, nor a power nor anything tangible, describable or measurable in any human terms (as the next few commandments: forbidding any substitutes, images and names clearly insist). The enigma is encapsulated in the expression I am that I am full stop! For Christians God is Love, In Islam it is similarly the epitome of Grace and Mercy - the phrase Our Father in Heaven should not be interpreted as a person but as an earthly representation of a generous, omnipotent but somewhat paternal spirit.The New Testament was mostly written in Greek, and follows that traditional (pre-Christian) obligation called Xenia. The point is to worship generosity, rather than idols. Early religions were a primitive corporate survival strategy that involved winning wars. Modern religion is truly all about winning peace and harmony, although there are plenty of false prophets still advocating war in the Name of Their God Jesus Christ - who was, we should remember, at that time not a Christian, but a first century Jewish teacher reportedly clarified the paradox in a characteristically philosophical reply: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." (Mt 22:37-40) These, however, are not really two, but one single commandment, to love one another the spheres of operation of which the pair are completely inseparable. Although that specific dual-commandment form is not found among the Ten Commandments of Exodus, in so many words, perhaps there is no need for any other law - except perhaps the amplifying Love Thine Enemy

AFTER several weeks of wandering the desert after their escape from Egypt, the Israelites were hungry, the Bible says, and started grumbling. So God conjured up two things for them to eat. In the evening, there were quails. “In the morning,” the Book of Exodus says, “there was a layer of dew around the camp. When the layer of dew evaporated, behold, on the surface of the wilderness there was a fine flake-like thing, fine as frost on the ground. When the sons of Israel saw it, they said to one another, ‘What is it?’ ” In ancient Hebrew, “what is it” can be rendered man-hu, a likely derivation of what this food has come to be called, manna. The Bible describes it as being “like coriander seed,” and “white, and its taste was like wafers with honey.”
