Thou Shalt...

In difference with the Genesis, which we read earlier, Exodus gives tons of details to the story. I recall that in the Genesis they told many different stories, but never as detailed and specified as this one. The story of Moses has a lot more to it than only the simple story we are all told when we were little. It’s not only that he told the people to get out of Egypt and go to another place and in the way he opened the sea. These are we could say the summary of everything that Moses with the help of God had to do to free his people. The main thing that I noticed in this part of the Exodus was when God said the Ten Commandments. I know that since I am Catholic there are Ten Commandments but I would not remember them. Besides I simply knew they were there and never when the appeared in the Bible or anything. In this part of the Bible they only give 6 of them. “Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bare false witness against thy neighbor. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors’ house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbors’ wife.” Exodus chapter 20 verse 13-17. God seems to have a lot of control over the humans. Today it would seem that he lost contact with humans completely. He told us what to do and what not to do and we now got to a point where everyone forgot what he told us.
