A List of the 613 Mitzvot (Commandments)
Level:
Advanced
|
Jewish tradition teaches that there are
613 commandments
This is the list of 613 identified by Rambam
The order and organization is my own
http://www.jewfaq.org/613.htm
|
Below
is a list of the 613 mitzvot (commandments). It is based primarily on the
list compiled by Rambam in the Mishneh Torah, but I have consulted other sources as
well. As I said in the page on halakhah,
Rambam's list is probably the most widely accepted list, but it is not the
only one. The order is my own, as are the explanations of how some rules are
derived from some biblical passages.
For
each mitzvah, I have provided a citation to the biblical passage or passages
from which it is derived, based primarily on Rambam. For commandments that
can be observed today, I have also provided citations to the Chafetz Chayim's Concise Book of
Mitzvot (CCA refers to
affirmative commandments; CCN refers to negative commandments; CCI refers to
commandments that only apply in Israel). Commandments that cannot be observed today
primarily relate to the Temple, its sacrifices and services (because
the Temple does not exist) and criminal procedures (because the theocratic
state of Israel does not exist).
