A wise man once suggested to me that a need to practice contains an implicit need for improvement, whatever the subject.
These Judaic ten commandments from Exodus 20:2-17, and are dated to 2600-2950 BC, IIRC
“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
“You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
“You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you.
“You shall not murder.
“You shall not commit adultery.
“You shall not steal.
“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
Quite simple, straight forward and to the point, a list of commandments/sins you must not commit, usually explained in detail by a pastor, preacher etc
Then we have the Khemetic (Egyptian) 42 declarations of freedom from sin or 42 laws of Ma at.

A list of sins you didn't commit, by which every single individual may chart their own religious / spiritual progress, daily
At least eight of these Judaic commandments can be found in the 42 declarations of freedom from sin, written at least 2000 years earlier, which would make some sense as Moses is said to have both received these ten commandments directly from God, and also been a member of Pharaohs court, in Kemet.
(Although no evidence exists outside of the BIble which has ever confirmed or denied such a character, while detailed lists of Kemet's very many Pharaonic dynasties, on the other hand, are plentiful.)
When another ten commandments in Deuteronomy 5:6-21 is followed further by even more in Augustine and Origen then the question of why so many varied practitioners inevitably arises.
It is without a doubt that both lists were created in Kemet, so what do you think could have caused the modern day difference's between religion and spirituality that now exist.
My view is that as the Greek cultural/mathematical tourists like Pythagoras et al all studied in Kemet, it was they who initially attuned and adapted the sophisticated Khemetic trends to fit Greek society back home, much in the same way a modern day trend, such as twitter, will catch on regionally before attaining a global presence, to varying degrees.
