Quote:The 10 Commandments appear in three places in the Bible: in Exodus, chapter 20, in Exodus, chapter 34 and in Deuteronomy, chapter 5:
I suppose if you care enough you can look them up. Personally, I don't.
did you even read the info on your link?
Exodus 20 are the commandments
Exodus 34 is the covenant. God declares if the Jews do this... they get that. Covenant and a commandment are not the same things. Covenant= promise commandment is a declaration to do or not do.
Deu 5 is a detailed reading of the 10 commandment with an attempt to close the "loop holes" the jews were seeking to exploit. Read deu 3 and 4. After receiving the 10 commandments and the covenant, the jews sought to find ways to abuse the law, so moses went though the commands they were abusing and added a few dozen inclusions/provision for the law. Like you shall not make any graven eimages of your lord God.. That wasn't good enough for the jews as they were making idols out of other things and worshiping them. So then moses goes back and gives a popular list of things being made. like wise with coveting He had to make a list, because the first version did not include said list. The jews
the four versions of the OT does not have anything to do with Moses being a revisionist. In order for Hitch's claim to be true Moses would have had to have 4 different version of the 10 commandments. Moses has one list of commands. God then provided a covenant based on this list. Then Moses saw his people were legalists "the law does not say this specifically" so Moses closed the loop holes on his list by including the things the jews were 'loop holeing'
Then you got your graph which has two different version of how Christians read the 10 commandments in opposition to how the jews and the muslims read them...
How does any of that make moses a revisionist??? it doesn't unless you are referring to the hitch's "no school" argument that Moses compiled Judaism out of 1/2 dozen defunct religions.
