I believe the History Channel was trying to say
that Moses stole the law from Hammurabi’s Stele.

Yes... there are many more “civil” laws in the
Bible. But the Ten Commandments are uniquely
Spiritual and relational.
I kept getting sucked into watching those History Channel bible things until I realized they were mostly only interested in tearing down biblical accounts.
Ahhh..., I see...
But, I just went back to Exodus to read that part again, and no matter what the History Channel says, that’s not what the Bible says... (of course I know you know that... :-) ...).
It’s interesting to read it again, because I think, sometimes, I forget what actually happened, as the Bible tells us. Maybe I’ve seen the movie, the Ten Commandments, just one time too many and it’s clouding my memory. I hope people don’t think that the movie is actually what happened... LOL...
I’m going to go back over the books of Moses once again, and get another good reading out of it.

Just for sake or recalling some of those things that happened. Do you remember reading that Moses and some others from Israel (the seventy elders, I believe) sat down and had dinner in the presence of the God of Israel?
Well..., anyway, there’s a lot there to refresh my memory....
The History Channel is a joke ... there’s been so many “Liberal” theologians (so-called) that every so often bring up the Hammurabi’s similarities to the Ten Commandments ...and as I mentioned, the “Ten” are for spiritual and moral laws ....
