These flash cards are designed to help you learn the Ten Commandments. The Commandments are numbered in accordance with the division of the Commandments established by St. Augustine. This is known as the Catholic version of the ten commandments. Other enumerations of the Ten Commandments are the Jewish version and the Protestant version. The difference between the Catholic, Jewish and Protestant versions occur in how the first, second, ninth, and tenth Commandments are divided up. An explanation of the differences between the Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant versions of the Ten Commandments can be found in this article by Matthew Warner on the National Catholic Register website.
