The Ten Commandments:

1. Don't worship any other god but me (that is, the one who brought you out of slavery in Egypt).
2. Don't make an idol and worship it, or I will punish you, your children, your grandchildren and your great grandchildren for it.
3. Don't misuse my name.
4. Work six days a week then once a week don't work, and force your children, your slaves, your livestock and any visitors to your town to follow the same routine.
5. Honour your parents so that you'll live to a ripe old age in the land that I've given you.
6. Don't kill people.
7. Don't shag on the side once you're married.
8. Don't steal.
9. Don't lie about your neighbours.
10. Don't habour a desire for your neighbour's house, wife, slave (male or female), ox, donkey, or any of his other possesions.


It seems you're working off the beta version of the ten commandments there, from Exodus 20, which Moses smashed in pieces. By the time Yahweh made Moses write them out himself (aside: is this the origin of having to write lines at school?) and put them in the ark of the covenant, they read something like:

1. Thou shalt worship no other god (For the Lord is a jealous god).
2. Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
3. The feat of unleavened bread shalt thou keep in the month when the ear is on the corn.
4. All the first-born are mine.
5. Six days shalt thou work, but on the seventh thou shalt rest.
6. Thou shalt observe the fest of weeks, even of the first fruit of the wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.
7. Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread.
8. The fat of my feat shall not remain all night until the morning.
9. The first of the first fruits of thy ground thou shalt bring unto the house the the Lord thy God.
10. Thou shalt not sethe a kid in its mother's milk.

Exodus 34, I jest ye not.

For an interesting comparison of the different versions of the ten commandments, I recommend this PDF.
