Here is the brief explanation to this table:
- The Ten Commandments are the "compressed" Torah, meaning that these 10 commandments are unambiguous enough to include all Torah commandment. I.e commandment #7 encompasses all sexually deviant acts, not just traditional adultery.
- Two Tablets corresponded to Two human Hands.
- 10 Commandments corresponded to 10 fingers.
- Each pair of the 10 Commandments corresponded to one of the 5 mandatory Holidays.
- Each pair of the 10 Commandments corresponded to each other. I.e Idolatry vs Adultery e.t.c
- Each of the 10 Commandments corresponded to each of the 10 plagues.
- Corresponding Holiday signified the reward for keeping the Commandment.
- Corresponding Plague signified the punishment for violating the Commandment.
- Order of the Holidays also signified their priority. I.e Numbers 9:6-10.
