The 613 Commandments
There are 613 commandments in the Torah, the 5 books of Moses. These 613 commandments list what is required, permitted, and forbidden by G-d, and range from activity of the lay person in every day life to the strict procedures followed by the High Priest. Although the 613 commandments are often codified, or divided, into positive and negative or subject content, this particular representation lists the commandments in the order they appear in scripture.
The year is divided into 54 sections for the reading of the Torah. Each section is called a Parshah. The first Parshah, Bereshit is read following Shimini Atzeret just after the festival of Sukkot in the fall. In this listing of the 613 commandments each of the commandments is shown in the Parshah in which they first appear. The Parashot are in the progressive order that they are read through the year.
