Two Sets of Ten Commandments

Coryat said...

Why Ray old bean, I'm afraid you'll have to be far more specific. More than one version of the commandments was given; see for example the contrasting versions given in Exodus 20 and Exodus 34.

Also, you've yet to answer how you decide what is for example 'ceremonial' law, and what isn't. Since I know you follow a straight sola scriptura reading, surely you could fill us in?

Curious minds want to know!

Exodus 34 says that words written on the replacment tables were the SAME WORDS written on the original tablets:

"The LORD said to Moses, "Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke." Exodus 34:1

God gives instruction to Moses. He tells Moses to write down other things, which are different from the words that God himself engraves on the stone tablets.

cf. Deuteronomy 4:13
cf. Deuteronomy 5:22

God himself engraves the Ten Commandments on the first stone tablets.

God himself engraves the SAME WORDS on the replacement tablets.

God also commands Moses to write down OTHER commandments for the Children of Israel.
