No, these are not 10 commandments...
Written within the Egyptian Book of Dead around 1,800 BC (Hebrew Exodus from Egypt was estimated around 1,400 BC) - in order to enter afterlife a man must swear:
"I have done away sin for thee and not acted fraudulently or deceitfully.
I have not belittled God.
I have not inflicted pain or caused another to weep.
I have not murdered or given such an order.
I have not used false balances or scales.
I have not purloined (held back) the offerings to the gods.
I have not stolen.
I have not uttered lies or curses."
