Roman Catholics follow Saint Augustine's enumeration, combining "no other gods" and "no graven images" into one COMMANDMENT while dividing the command against coveting into two COMMANDMENTS--the ninth against coveting a neighbor's wife, and the tenth against coveting his other possessions.
Lutherans follow a similar enumeration as the Roman Catholics, but make the ninth the command against coveting a neighbor's house and the tenth against coveting any other possessions than his house, including his wife.
Orthodox Christians and most Protestants take "no other gods" and "no graven images" as two COMMANDMENTS and regard the commands against coveting as one COMMANDMENT. The Orthodox are following the Pre-Talmudic Septuagint's syntax when they divide THE TEN SENTENCES this way.
Jewish people, following the prominent rabbinical view in the Jewish Talmud, regard "I am the LORD your God..." as the first WORD or SENTENCE and, like the Roman Catholics and Lutherans, combine "no other gods" and "no graven images" while counting it as the second SENTENCE. Then, like Orthodox Christians and most Protestants, they regard the command not to covet as the last WORD of THE TEN WORDS or SENTENCES. ( )
