When asked how many commandments are in the Torah, most Jews will answer 613, based on Jewish tradition (the number 613 is sometimes called \u201ctaryag\u201d (\u05ea\u05e8\u05d9\u05d2), an abbreviation for the letters Tav (400) + Resh (200) + Yod (10) + Gimmel (3) = 613). Despite several attempts made over the centuries, however, there has never been a definitive list of these commandments, and of those who tried to compile such, no two agree… Some say the number 613 comes from a fanciful midrash that teaches that since there are 365 days in a year (corresponding to the 365 negative commandments) and 248 \u201cparts\u201d of the body (corresponding to the positive commandments), each day we should use our body to serve God. Regardless of the exact count, however, the Talmud followed the Apostle Paul by understanding all the Torah\u2019s commandments to be derived from the Ten Commandments given at Sinai, the most basic of which is the very First Commandment, namely, \u201cI AM the LORD your God (\u05d0\u05b8\u05e0\u05db\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05d4\u05b6\u05d9\u05da\u05b8) who brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery\u201d (Exod. 20:2). This foundational commandment was later restated by the prophet Habbakuk as: \u05d5\u05b0\u05e6\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b6\u05d0\u05b1\u05de\u05d5\u05bc\u05e0\u05b8\u05ea\u05d5\u05b9 \u05d9\u05b4\u05d7\u05b0\u05d9\u05b6\u05d4 \/ \u201cThe righteous person will live by faith in God\u201d (Hab. 2:4; Gal. 3:11; Heb. 10:38). Indeed, Yeshua taught us the law of faith in God’s love, which preempts, overrules, and informs all the others…<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/hab2-4-analysis.gif?resize=567%2C502&ssl=1\")
