Even when rabbis attempted to compile a list of the 613 commandments, they were faced with a number of difficulties:

  • Would an order from God be counted as a commandment, for the purposes of such a list, if it could only be complied with in one place and time? Else, would such an order only count as a commandment if it could be followed at all times? (The latter is the view of Maimonides.)[citation needed]
