Yeah, not going to take time looking that up. Are they essentially different?
That depends entirely on what you mean by essential, of course. Having three versions which are not the same kinda opens things up for interpretation. You'd think with billions of souls at stake, YHWH and Moses would take care to cross every i and dot every t, yes?
Come to think of it, Moses is widely credited to have written both Exodus and Deuteronomy - and as the story goes, he had the stone tablets they were inscribed on. If that were the case, how's it that it didn't get recorded accurately?
