If you have forgottenthem, you will find the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20: 1– 17 and Deuteronomy 5: 6– 21. Theversions of the Ten Commandments from Exodus and Deuteronomy, along with the TraditionalCatechetical Form, may be found in the back of this book or in the Catechism of the CatholicChurch immediately preceding no. 2052.
