You can see a better table at this link. It's the "short form" of all three and doesn't include the complete verse but the summary of the commandments as we usually learned them:
[biblescripture.net]

Judaism doesn't have the "graven image" bit -- or, rather, it's rolled into the "no other gods before me: [www.jewfaq.org].

If you check the supposed translation you will see that the "thou shalt make no graven image" and "thou shalt have no other gods before me" are transposed in the "ancient" version (it's similar to the "Origen" version and not the Jewish version as seen in the very first link): [www.wnd.com]

As Jewfaq.org says, the "ten commandments" are sort of like glorified book chapters for the law and there are 613 commandments... not ten. And the only place where this variant "PaleoHebrew" is ever used to write the 10 commandments happens to be in America and not in the land where Judaism (and Christianity) originated.
