when were the 10 commandments given to the israelites
Ten Commandments If the Ten Commandments are based on Hittite forms, it would date them to somewhere between the 14th-12th century BCE.[125] Archaeologists Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman argue that "the astonishing composition came together â€¦ in the seventh century BCE".[126] Critical scholar Yehezkel Kaufmann (1960) dates the oral form of the covenant to the time of Josiah.[127] An even later date (after 586 BCE) is suggested by David H. Aaron.[128]
Shekhinah This term does not occur in the Bible, and is from rabbinic literature.[2]:148[3][4]
Ten Commandments The English name "Decalogue" is derived from Greek δεκάλογος, dekalogos, the latter meaning and referring[4] to the Greek translation (in accusative) δέκα λόγους, deka logous, "ten words", found in the Septuagint (or LXX) at Exodus 34:28[3] and Deuteronomy 10:4.[5]
Book of Proverbs It is impossible to offer precise dates for the sayings in Proverbs, a "collection of collections" relating to a pattern of life which lasted for more than a millennium.[2] The phrase conventionally used for the title is taken from chapter 1:1, mishley shelomoh, Proverbs of Solomon (the phrase is repeated at 10:1 and 25:1), is likely more concerned with labeling the material than ascribing authorship.[12]
