4. Which commandments are those?

The Ten Commandments I'm familiar with don't mention a prohibition against tempting God. That was Jesus, who after his 40 days and 40 nights in the desert, admonished Satan for trying to tempt him (Matt 4: 1-11).

Here's the 2nd Commandment: “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or 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 or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments” (Exodus 20:4; Deuteronomy 5:8).
