    For those who do not know, in Exodus, Moses gets pissed off, smashes the tablets people today call the Ten Commandments, goes back up the mountain and Yaweh has him carve new ones with different laws on them. Those laws are the only laws called “Ten Commandments” in the Bible.

    They include:

    Three times a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. [Good luck with that]

    Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast

    “Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.

    As the end of the chapter says:

    Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.

    The Bible cannot be more clear on this point, but it’s always ignored.

      “The first offspring of every womb belongs to me, including all the firstborn males of your livestock, whether from herd or flock. 20 Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck. Redeem all your firstborn sons.
