How Many Commandments:
There are 10 Commandments, not 7, not 613. There are also statutes and judgements but their are only 10 commandments of YHWH. These commandments are our covenant rules from YHWH.

13And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.(KJV)

4And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me.(KJV)

Can We Keep The 10 Commandments:
"5THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth." (KJV)
"6And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless." (KJV)
These verses seem to indicate that it is possible to keep all of YHWH's commandments and ordinances as Zacharias and Elisabeth did so.
