          A general rule is stated in the Talmud (Ketubot 19a):




          דאמר מר אין לך דבר שעומד בפני פיקוח נפש אלא עבודת כוכבים וגלוי עריות ושפיכות דמים בלבד



          for a Master said: 'There is nothing that comes before the saving of life except idolatry, incest and bloodshed only. (Soncino translation)




          As some of the Ten Commandments deal with idolatry, incest, and bloodshed, they can not be violated even to save a life. The others can.



          There may be certain circumstances in which the others may not be violated as well, but that would be due to external factors (e.g. desecration of God's name), not due to their status as part of the Ten Commandments.

          • Does this mean to save somebodies life from death or in a less literal sense? Maybe to someone's life from hell or rebirth or something?
