The human commandments

[Xeno.of.athens]

Commandments four to ten focus on our relationships with one another. In Catholicism, three commandments are dedicated to God's relationship with humanity, and seven govern interpersonal relations.

• Honour your father and your mother, as the LORD your God commanded you, so that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.​
• You shall not murder.​
• Neither shall you commit adultery.​
• Neither shall you steal.​
• Neither shall you bear false witness against your neighbour.​
• Neither shall you covet your neighbour's wife.​
• Neither shall you desire your neighbour's house, or field, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour.​

I'm not sure If the prohibition on idolatry and the prohibition on graven images is the same commandment or not? And I'm not sure if the prohibition on coveting my neighbor's wife and the prohibition on coveting my neighbor's house is the same commandment or not?

So how many commandments are between God and us, and how many are between me and my neighbor I'm not sure? But clearly, our relationship with God comes 1st, and is a more succinct point. With people things get more complicated.
