613 | List of the 613 Commandments

The 613 commandments are found in Torah. Some are positive (you shall), while others are negative (you shall not).

The Jew was given 613 commandments (mitzvot), according to the Talmud, which contain 248 positive commands and 365 negative ones. The positive mitzvot equal the number of parts of the body; the negative mitzvot correspond to the number of days in the solar year. Thus are we introduced to 613, the magic number of Torah scholarship and Jewish living.

The Talmud refers to this number as taryag mitzvot. Classical Jewish sources assign a numerical value to each letter of the Hebrew alphabet, which is treated not as a mere utilitarian collection of word components but as a conveyor of esoteric information through the Kabbalistic medium of gematriya. Thus the gematriya of taryag is 613 (tav = 400, raish = 200, yud = 10, and gimel = 3). The tradition of taryag mitzvot was developed by Rabbi Simlai of the Talmud, reasoning as follows: Scripture tells us that Moses commanded the Torah (Pentateuch) to the Children of Israel. The gematriya (numerical equivalent) of the four Hebrew letters of the word Torah is 611. Add to this the two commandments which all of Israel heard from God Himself at Mt. Sinai and you have a total of 613 - taryag.

Before any ambitious Bible student goes plunging into the five books of the Torah in search of a list of these commandments, he should be warned that the task is more formidable than it seems. The Torah is a fascinating complex of prophetic history and divine guidance, encompassing the entire human and universal experience, and the commandmnts contained therein represent but one of its dimensions.

Important note: Our relationship with the Almighty God comes to us by his grace through faith, and not by the observance of any commandment. On the other hand, as redeemed children of God through the merit of the work of our Rabbi Maran Yeshua HaMashiach, we are to to observe his holy Word as a new way of life which leads us to freedom and joy. The Torah teaches us how to love God with all of our heart, and our neighbor as ourself.

The instructions listed below may also be broken down into four categories, sacrificial, civil, social and dietary. Not all apply in our day (for example we have no temple in which to offer sacrifice) and not all apply to every person (for example we are not all high priests). Let us look for those we can observe and not get hung up on those we can not. Keep it positive!
