Terminological Patterns and the Decalogue

The »terminological reading« of the canonical text shows: First, both versions of the Decalogue seem to be outlined through the thirteen-part terminological pattern based on the particle ???? »not«; second, the seven-part verbal links resting on the verbs ????? »remember« in Exodus and ????? »rest« in Deuteronomy indicate that both versions have been integrated into the respective narrative context; third, the linguistic linkages founded on the rare words ????? »covet«, ????? »vanity«, ??????? »likeness; form«, and the root ????? »to carve« / »carved image« bring to light the (terminological) interrelatedness of Ex 20,1–17 and Dtn 5,6–21.
