Thus, it is a mistake in the communication attempt by the authors, whose reputation as a divinely inspired author disintegrates if their words are not perfect communications of god. If the story is not to be read at face value then one needs a magic decoder ring, which you do not have, only baseless assertions. I could claim that what god means in this story is to instruct man to wash the underside of his car after a day at the beach and I would have just as much evidence for my position as you do for yours - none, just a bare assertion.

Whose level of consciousness and how do you define it?
Why would return be prohibited? DNF

Why would a loving god who is going to punish us if we do wrong, give us his rules in code?
Can you imagine a father who beats his children when they disobey him, but he only gives them instructions in a code they don't understand clearly.
What a fucking ass!!!
