Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10+ Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.

The Counting the Ten Commandments Interactive (in library not tools) is an example of a very specialized resource for educational purposes in a limited number of cases.
First, the basic questions:
- Are the ten commandments in question the ritual commandments or the ethical commandments?
- If ritual commandments, see Exodus 34:11–26
- if ethical commandments does the tradition use the Exodus or the Deuteronomy text?
One is given the option to view 3 divisions of the text into 10 laws ... but only the Exodus text:
- Jewish
- Reformed/Anglican/Orthodox
- Catholic/Lutheran
There is the minor, ignored problem that the Catholic and Lutheran divisions are not identical which limits the usefulness of the interactive for some groups.
View 1:
View 2
There is also a comparative view
Or if you prefer the bilingual version:
But to be honest, I never use this tool because it only considers Exodus and because it conflates Catholic and Lutheran scheme. I use Ten Commandments - Wikipedia (or Ritual Decalogue - Wikipedia) despite its more cluttered look.
