Now, how long did the bible take to compile in the first place?
How long has Brian been given?
Nuff said.
Today he started on The Ten Commandments but then put that on hold until he's demolished the walls of Jericho ~ a much easier task.
So I thought: the ten commandments, why ten; how come it took so long for Moses to get them?
I 'Googled' (it is a new verb, even though spell check wants 'goggled')
I discover that God didn't have any modern implements with which to write; no paper and pen. Just look~
Quite fantastic! I expect he needed a manicure afterwards.I then discover that these stone tablets still exist. even though they are somewhat the worse for wear, and cracked:
Imagine my amazement when, on closer inspection I discover that there is more than one
set of tablets. Each of them cracked in their own different way.
In truth, they are not tablets but a single piece of stone; so all those pictures showing Moses with one tucked under each arm are quite wrong.
Not only that, but God made other versions of His Laws:
The Lab's EEG/ERP Research
Some of the lab's resarch (sic) exploits scalp recordings of EEG signals to study the operations and neural circuits that support visual cognition. For some of our work, signals recorded from subjects' brains are converted into event related potentials (ERPs), which are synched (sic) to particular events or actions in experimental tasks.
And then there are Mickey's Laws
That's not all! You can still obtain the Ten Commandments without the fag of going up a mountain. Just see how nice they are, and you get discount for bulk purchases ~ not quite sure why you want more than one set, perhaps to send as presents . . . or to jog the conscience of a covetous neighbour, maybe.
Sensibly the single stone has been made into two proper tablets and the Holy Words now have a textual reference (Exodus) in order to find the whole of each law rather than just the first few words that are inscribed here. In addition there is now a nice little easel on which they can be displayed permanently, instead of hiding them away in a dark old box they called an Ark.
I'm sure that you will just be falling over yourself to obtain these wonderful items so here are some more details:
These Ten Commandments stone tablets weight about 10 pounds. Not too heavy then.
Each of the two tablets are about 8.5" x 15". See, TWO tablets, not one.
The tablets come with an easel. Artistic
These plastic stone composite tablets are guaranteed to last a life time. Not just one lifetime either, but many!
The Children of Israel displayed the Ten Commandments in stone.
I bet they didn't have a nice easel though.
Deuteronomy 4:13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

They would probably lose something like that anyway.
Actually, this is a very interesting blog! In fact, I think I'd better pop out and do a few magic tricks while you take over from me and get on with re-writing the 10Cs for Sir Cliff!
However, let's be clear about one thing: the Bible definitely says TWO stone tablets (spare me the jokes about keep taking the tablets, thanks!) so all those combo-copies are clearly FAKES!
Naturally, as a Mouse Man, I was fascinated to read Mickey's 10Cs, which were inscribed by an old Disney friend of mine, Marty Sklar - it's small wonder Disney are so successful with a direct line through to God!
