Moses gets his tablets, reads the commandments (Exodus 20:2-17) breaks the tablets and a few days later gets new commandments. God tells Moses they are the same commandments ("hew thee two tablets of stone like unto the first, and I will write upon them the words that were on the first tablets")
Yet the second set of commandments (Exodus 34:14-26) are different from the first. The second ones seem to be the real ones, because as it is written: ""And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments." (Exodus 34:28)"
Anybody who can help me on this, because i don't get it.
Second little question, can anybody explain to me the tenth commandment "Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk" ?
I always assumed it was "Don't covet your neighbor's wife and property". That one was easy for me, my neighbour is 88 years old. But the one occording to Exodus 34, i truly don't understand.
