in the first 30 seconds Hitchens say Moses was a revisionist that issued at least 4 versions of the decalogue (10 commandments) which is mind-blowing !

They aren't any other commandments. What he is referring to is the idea that moses took for older religions and their rules.
Catholics and protestants differ in the commandments. The graven image one.
