How to memorize the ten commandments by Joe Goldberg

"There's a nifty way to remember it."

How I did it: First of all, this is the Jewish 10 Commandments.  I think they differ slightly from religion to religion.  Here's how to remember them in order.

The first five can be remembered with ABCDE

I Am the Lord you God...
You shall have no other Gods B-fore me
You shall not Carry (i.e. take) the Lord's name in vain (This one's a stretch) 
Remember the Sabbath Day and keep it holy
Honor your mothEr and fathEr (Also a stretch)

The last five have a mnemonic:

You shall not...

Kill
(commit) Adultury
Steal
Bear false witness
(covet your neighbor's) Ass or wife

Kind of a stretch but it spells KASBA....it's like Kasbah (as in Rock the Kasbah)

Hope this helps!
