It contains 613 commandments and Jews refer to the ten best known of these as "the ten 10 statements". The Torah includes Judaism’s written and oral law, i.e. all Jewish religious teachings throughout history. Everything is said there, everything a good Jew needs to know so as to act as God says. A Jew serves God when he learns the holy books and does what they say.
