BIBLE STORY

One of the spokesmen said to Moses ” This is very hard on us Moses, please go back and try to reason with the Lord. Explain that we are human and to keep all these commandments will place great hardship on us”. So, very reluctantly Moses went back up to the Mount with the tabernacles and after a week, gaunt and haggard came stumbling back to the Tents of Israel. The people gathered around expectantly and the spokesman asked” Nu, Moses, how did it go up there?”

Moses could hardly speak, he was hoarse from his week long pleadings for his people.

Finally he said “Well, I have good news and bad news, The good news is that I managed to get it down to only ten commandments, but the bad news is that adultery is still in.”
