Learn Hebrew

The Hebrew word mitzvah means "divine commandment" (mitzvot is the plural form). Although the word is sometimes used broadly to refer to Rabbinic (Talmudic) law or simply a good deed (e.g., "it would be a mitzvah to visit your sick cousin"), in its strictest sense the term refers to a divine commandment given by the LORD in the Torah. In Exodus 24:12 the Ten Commandments are collectively referred to as mitzvot.

Types of Mitzvot

The Torah is filled with various imperatives of one kind or another. The term mitzvot is a general term used to refer to any commandment given by God. Mitzvot can be further divided into the subcategories of chukkim u’mishpatim (Deut. 4:5):

• Chukkim are statutes given without a reason (i.e., fiats or divine decrees). As such they are sometimes called “supra-rational” decrees. The classic example is the chok (sing.) regarding the Red Heifer, which, legend has it, defied even the wisdom of King Solomon. Other examples include dietary law or the laws concerning family purity. These laws can seem irrational to human reason.
  
  Zot chukat haTorah () - “this is the Torah's decree....” which we therefore accept as a commandment that transcends our abilities to rationally fathom.  That is, when asked why we would do what is here commanded, we can only appeal to the fact that the LORD has commanded such - and that settles the issue.
• Mishpatim (sing. mishpat) are laws given for a clearly specified reason (i.e., logical laws). An example would be the commandment to give charity or the prohibitions against theft and murder. These mitzvot are inherently rational and appeal to the need for ethical unity (civil and moral life) within the community.

Note: eidot (testimonials, from the root ‘ed, witness) are mitzvot that commemorate or represent something -- e.g., the commandments to put on tefillin, wear tzitzit, eat matzah on Passover, blow a shofar, etc.  Since they commemorate or symbolically represent something, the eidot occupy a sort of middle ground between the rationally understandable mishpatim and the supra-rational chukkim.

The phrase chukkim u’mishpatim () is a synonym for the more general term "mitzvah," as can be seen in parashat Mishpatim, which lists over 50 mitzvot that are indeed logical laws (i.e., mishpatim), but also include a number of eidot and at least one chok, or supra-rational "decree."

Some Jewish sages have attempted to compile and count the various mitzvot listed in the Torah. Maimonides (Rambam) listed 613 commandments in his work Misneh Torah and divided them into two basic groups: 248 positive (“Thou shalt...”) commandments and 365 negative (“Thou shalt not...”) commandments. The positive commandments are called mitzvat ‘aseh, whereas the negative commandments are called mitzvat lo-ta’aseh. (The positive mitzvot are said to equal the number of parts of the body; the negative mitzvot correspond to the number of days in the solar year.)

Since Hebrew letters are often used to express numbers, the number 613 can be represented using the word “Taryag” (pronounced tar-YAHG) as a numerical acronym:

Collectively, the 613 commandments listed in the Torah are called “Taryag Mitzvot.”

Note that the gematria (numerical value) for the word Torah is Tav (400) + Vav (6) + Resh (200) + Hey (5), which yields 611. According to Jewish tradition, Taryag (613) is equal to the word "Torah" plus the two commandments that existed before the Torah: "I am the Lord your God" and "you shall have no other gods before me."

With the destuction of the Temple in 70 AD, many of the enumerated mitzvot that concern ritual and ceremony within the establishment of the Aaronic priesthood can no longer be obeyed (it has been estimated that only about 270 of them - less than 50 percent - are still applicable today). That is, ever since the Diaspara of the Jewish people, it has been literally impossible to fulfill all of the Torah’s righteous demands. Nonetheless, the Rabbinic tradition has assumed the role of interpreting the applicability of Jewish law for the individual Jew, and certain qualifications in the idea of the mitzvot are therefore made.

The Jewish Temple was destroyed in 70 AD (see Matt 24:1-2) and has never been restored.
All the mitzvot pertaining to the priesthood cannot be fulfilled.

Rabbinical Legal Ruminations: Halakhah

In addition to Taryag mitzvot (see the listing of the 613 commandments below), Rabbinical law has added a large body of rulings that are claimed to be just as binding as the divine mitzvot. Such rabbinical halakhah (from halakh, “to walk”) refers to the various rules and regulations that are said to mark the Jew’s 'walk' through life. Halakhah includes three (related) groups: gezeirah, takkanah, and minhag:

• Gezeirah (“fence”) -- a rule instituted by the rabbis to prevent inadvertent violation of a mitzvah. For instance, it is a mitvah to refrain from work on the Sabbath, but it’s a gezeirah to avoid even the handling of any work instruments on the Sabbath.
• Takkanah (“case law ordinance”) -- a law instituted by rabbis that does not directly derive from the Torah (but is inferred from its interpretation). An example would be the lighting of candles on erev Shabbat. The ritual of public Torah recitation every Monday and Thursday is a takkanah instituted by Ezra the Scribe. Takkanot (pl.) can vary by region, based on the prevailing rabbinical authority. Ashkenazic Jews accept takkanot that Sephardic Jews might not recognize as binding.
• Minhag (“custom”) are rabbinically approved conventions for a Jewish community (plural minhagim). An example of a minhag would be eating apples with honey on Rosh Hashanah. Like the takkanot, minhagim can vary by region, based on the prevailing rabbinical authority.

Interestingly enough, Jewish tradition seems to go two ways with the idea that Torah can be explicated by means of halakhah.  On the one hand, it carefully enumerates every nuance of each of the various commandments of the Torah, creates various takkanot (case laws) and even multiplies the Torah’s principles by building “fences” around the commandments, yet on the other hand it can (lucidly enough) distill the various commandments to more general principles that are fewer and fewer in number. For example, in Makkot 23b-24a the discussion goes from an enumeration of the 613 commandments identified in the Torah (see below), to David’s reduction of the number to 11 (Psalm 15), to Isaiah’s reduction of the number to six (Isaiah 33:15-16); to Micah’s reduction to three (Micah 6:8); to Isaiah’s further reduction to two (Isaiah 56:1); to  the one essential commandment by Habakuk (“But the righteous shall live by his faith” - Habakuk 2:4). Obviously the Apostle Paul distilled the various mitzvot to this selfsame principle of faith (see Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:38).

The list of 613 Commandments

In Judaism, there is no one definitive list of the 613 laws. In what follows, first I will present a list of 613 mitzvot according to their appearance in the Torah, and then I will provide the list given by Maimonides, the “St. Thomas Aquinas” of traditional rabbinical Judaism.
