DECALOGUE, the ten principal points of Moses’s Law, contained in the seventeen first verses of the twentieth chapter of Exodus. The word Decalogue is formed from the Greek, deca, ten, and logos, word; as if any should say, the ten words: and thus the Jews call the ten precepts I am speaking of. See LAWS.
