Which set? God made two "identical" sets of commandments that are nearly completely different. Only the second one is ever called the ten commandments and it tells you to sacrifice your firstborn and to not boil goats in their mother's milk.
...You don't actually think the titles that aren't actually a part of the Bible mean anything, right? The Bible never calls the 13 (Yes, 13) commandments listed in Exodus as the Ten Commandments. It also never calls the ones listed in Deuteronomy 5 as the Ten Commandments.
Read Exodus 34, specifically Exodus 34:28. It even specifically refers to this set by the Ten Commandments while it never does so for the first set. This is the only set of commandments that are called the Ten Commandments.
Your comments aren't making any sense to me. First you talk about sacrificing and boiling goats, which are not talked about in any of the commandment passages (which is why I asked what you were talking about). Now you are talking about the 10 commandments being called that incorrectly, but telling me to read a passage that says "the ten commandments." I don't understand!
The title of the passage isn't actually part of the Bible. The publishers just put it there for special effect.
You know how Moses went up the mountain to write the commandments on a stone tablet? Well, after he went got the commandments, he went down the mountain and, through a series of events, threw them on the ground to break them. Moses went up the mountain *again* to get the commandments from God again. This second set of commandments were different than the first set (Even though Yahweh says that they would be exactly the same). This second set of commandments is the only set that is referred to as The Ten Commandments.
As for sacrifices and boiling goats, Exodus 34:19 commands that you sacrifice the first firstborn of *everything*. It specifically talks about humans, but God says that the same applies to all livestock as well. We also have the most wise and glorious statement of “Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.” in Exodus 34: 26.
As a tip, always use the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible. It is the most accurate translation which was compiled very recently by over 100 biblical scholars with all known scriptures. The KJV is a very inaccurate translation as it was made over 400 years ago by people who weren't properly educated on the subject and didn't have nearly as much ancient scripture to work with.
