===Works in which the number of commandments is not 613 === * {{Lang|he|Sefer Yereim}} by [[Eliezer ben Samuel]] lists only 417 commandments (including commandments only applicable when the Temple stood).<ref name="ohayon">Ohayon, Avraham. "[http://www.shaanan.ac.il/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Laor/Ktav_Et/Shnaton/K-14/14-5%20ohayon.pdf Ha-ʾOmnam Taryag Miẓvot]" (2009) p. 89-96</ref> * [[Menahem Recanati]], in his book {{Lang|he|Taamei haMitzvot}}, counted 250 positive and 361 negative commandments, for a total of 611. These 611 include the two commandments of {{Bibleverse|Exodus|20:2|HE}}, indicating that this list is incompatible with the approach of R' Hamnuna in the Talmud (who said that of the 613 commandments, the two in Exodus 20:2 were given directly by God, and the remaining 611 via Moses).<ref name=ohayon/> *{{Lang|he|Sefer Mitzvoth Katan}}, by Rabbi [[Isaac of Corbeil]], listed 320 commandments applicable nowadays. To reach a total of 613, one would have to add 293 commandments applicable only while the Temple stood. As the number of Temple-only commandments appears to be much lower than 293 (for example, [[Sefer ha-Chinuch|Sefer haHinuch]] only counted 201 such commandments), it seems that the overall count of commandments would likely be lower than 613.<ref name=ohayon/> *According to Asael Ben-Or, [[Gersonides]]' commentary to the Torah indicates that he counted a total of 513 commandments.<ref name=ohayon/>
