You've missed where I explained that the declarative part is God's word and the explanatory part is interpretation.

I supppose you have a hermenutical basis or textual evidence for insisting that Moses or someone has interjected commentary in the middle of the God's dictation of the Ten Commandments?

If the six day creation statement was merely commentary in Exodus chapter 20, then why did God reiterate the six day creation statement in Exodus Chapter 31?

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. (Exodus 31:12-17 KJV)

And funny thing, God used the third person reference in Exodus Chapter 31 as well. Was that interjected commentary as well? It seems to be a single statement recorded by Moses. Was Moses reiterating his previous fraudulent commentary here as well?

Why don't you just admit that you don't believe in the God revealed in the Bible?

What I don't believe is your personal interpretation.

And Exodus 31 is commentary, note the new death sentence.
