How to make crontab execute every 2 hours between 10am and 10pm?

I need my crontab to execute every 2 hours starting at 10am and the last one running at 10pm.

I currently have

0 */2 * * * /directory/job.sh

How do I block out the hours I don't want?

Thanks!

0 10/2 * * * /directory/job.sh would do it.

0 10-22/2 * * * /directory/job.sh would do it and be more explicit.

0 10,12,14,16,18,20,22 * * * /directory/job.sh would do it, too.
