They weren't accidentally destroyed ... Moses threw them down in anger!

I just have to say that every time I think about Moses and the 10 Commandments I think "I have these 15 " *Crash!* "10, ten Commandments" lol I love Mel Brooks

The second set were also written by the finger of God, so if you believed Moses got the first ones from God, why not the second?

There were no earlier Commandments other than those we find in the Bible.

We know that the bible is accurate and not a forgery because of the numerous manuscripts in existence. The oldest surviving manuscript of the Old Testament of the bible (OT) is the Septuagint. It was written somewhere between 250 – 200BC. It is a Greek translation of the Hebrew and was the ‘scripture’ referred to in the New Testament (NT) by Jesus and his Apostles. The Dead Sea Scrolls are another important OT manuscript dating from approximately 200 BC to 68 AD. These scrolls are fragments of the OT text and were found to differ from the Septuagint and modern translations in only very minor ways, i.e. spelling and punctuation. A third important manuscript of the OT was written around 900 AD; it is the Massoretic text. The Massoretic text is written in Hebrew and again only differs from these older manuscripts and modern text in very minor ways; i.e. spelling and punctuation.

Because it states right in the Bible that God made them again.
And, they were NOT accidentally destroyed...Moses was so mad that they were worshipping a golden calf that he threw them down. Look it up in Exodus 32:19.

Maybe Moses revised some of them so he could control the mob a bit better.

Maybe because of you read your Bible, you will discover that nowhere in it does it say the first commandments were accidently destroyed.

The Ten Commandments 2.0

1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.

...

12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:

13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:

14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;

16 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.

17 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.

18 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.

19 All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.

20 But the firstling of an аss thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.

21 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.

22 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.

23 Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel.

24 For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.

25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.

26 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.

28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

I say again. Because God works in mysterious, inefficient, and breathtakingly cruel ways.
