And I know we’re mostly atheists here, but please keep the theological discussion to a minimum and appreciate the lighthearted hypothetical scenario for what it is.

    From memory: correct.

    From vaguer memory the second set were different.

    So we already have commandments 11-20.

      That was my understanding too; god gave one set of commandments to Moses at first, because I guess s/he couldn’t see what the Israelites were doing while he was talking to Moses? Then he gets pissed when Moses tells him, and gives the dumbed-down version. Supposedly that’s where you get Jesus saying that he fulfills the law, e.g., the laws of strict observances in Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy were because the Jews weren’t ready for a ‘higher’ law that used more personal judgement.
