02 | The 10 Commandments Myth
Yahuah's Debariym (Commandments)
Did you know The Most High Yahuah wrote his name on the two commandment stones himself? Did you know the commandment stones contain more than just 10 commandments? Did you know the commandment stones are made of sapphire? Modern movies and shows that reenact the creation of the commandment stones are deceptive and extremely inaccurate, unfortunately. In order to learn the truth, we have to examine the scriptures found at Shemoth (Exodus) 24:12, 31:18, 32:15,16, and Debariym (Deuteronomy) 9:10 below.
12 And Yahuah said unto Mosheh, Come up to me into the Mount, and be there: and I will give you sapphire stones, and a Torah, and commandments which I have written; that you may teach them.
18 And he gave unto Mosheh, when he had made an end of communing with him upon Mount Ciynai, two sapphires of testimony, sapphire stones, written with the finger of Elohiym.
In Shemot (Exodus) 24:12 and 31:18, notice Yahuah stated very clearly that (1) the commandment stones are made of the gem sapphire, (2) the stones contain both his Torah (aka teachings) and commandments, and (3) he wrote them himself, not Mosheh (Moses)! This is a very important point to note. Why? Many Bible-based religions incorrectly call the Old Testament commandments the Mosaic Law, as if Mosheh wrote them himself. That simply is not true. Yahuah's Torah was written by Yahuah for our instruction, and Mosheh was given the responsibility of teaching it.
15 And Mosheh turned, and went down from the Mount, and the two sapphires of the testimony were in his hand: the sapphires were written on both their sides; on the one side and the other were they written. 16 And the sapphires were the work of Elohiym, and the writing was the writing of Elohiym, graven upon the sapphires.
Shemot (Exodus) 32:15,16 add additional details that are also important to note. Notice, the verse clearly states the fact that Yahuah Elohiym wrote on both the front and back of both sapphire stones. As we examine the next verse, it will become very clear that this is another key scripture that helps expose the false doctrines taught to almost all bible based believers.
10 And Yahuah delivered unto me two sapphire stones written with the finger of Elohiym; and on them was written according to all the words, which Yahuah spoke with you in the Mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
Debariym (Deuteronomy) 9:10 adds the final piece to the puzzle that unravels the false narrative about the 10 commandments. Notice Mosheh clearly states that Yahuah wrote ALL the words he spoke with them that day on the two sapphire stones, NOT just the 10 commandments! Put another way, Yahuah personally wrote all that he spoke on that day, starting in Shemot (Exodus) Chapter 19, and ending in Chapter 23. Next, in Chapter 24, Yahuah gives Mosheh the tablets and instructs him to use them to teach the children of Yasharel.
Therefore, for this and several other reasons, we at Aleph Beyt have concluded that the last sentence in Shemot (Exodus) 34:28 was added to the Torah to deceive the entire world. Next, we will examine that scripture and point out the multiple contradictions it contains.
28 And he was there with Yahuah forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the sapphires the words of the covenant, the Ten Debariym.
Movie: Ben-Hur (1959) and The Ten Commandments (1956) got it wrong. In this movie, the tablets are made of granite (wrong), the letters are written in ancient Hebrew (wrong), the tablets are written on one side only (wrong), and the tablets are written on the front only (wrong).
So far, we have examined five verses regarding the creation of the sapphire commandment stones. However, the last sentence of Shemot (Exodus) 34:28 is the only one that is not in harmony with the other four. Notice it states, "[Mosheh] wrote upon the sapphires", but this directly contradicts the other four verses which state, "the writing was the writing of Elohiym", "written with the finger of Elohiym". Clearly, the statement that Mosheh wrote the commandments was added. Next, it states that what was written are "the Ten Debariym (Commandments)", however the previous scriptures make it clear that "the sapphires were written on both their sides", and "on them was written according to all the words, which Yahuah spoke ... in the Mount ... in the day of the assembly". Without a doubt, the statement that only ten commandments were on the sapphire stones was added. Again, for these reasons, we at Aleph Beyt have concluded that the last sentence of Shemot (Exodus) 34:28 was added to the Torah in order to deceive the entire world.
The addition of that sentence in verse 28 also fulfills the four prophecies stated at Debariym (Deuteronomy) 4:2, 12:32, Daniyel (Daniel) 7:25, and Revelation 22:18,19.
NOTE: Additional verses that state Yahuah wrote the commandments himself can be found at 2 Kings 17:36-38, Ezra 7:6, and Nehemiah 9:12-14.
Never Forget These Facts
- Yahuah wrote commandments himself, not Mosheh.
- Yahuah engraved his name in the commandment stones.
- The commandment stones are made of sapphire.
- The commandment stones are written on the front and back.
- The commandment stones contain all the commandments Yahuah spoke that day, not just ten.
Conclusion
We at Aleph Beyt are excited to share with you the previously hidden truths about our Elohiym Yahuah. We look forward to thousands of scattered sheep hearing the call of the shepherds, gathering, and preparing to not only weather the storm that is on the horizon, but survive it!
