You obviously don't, and to tell the truth I don't get your question. Exactly what are you asking?

A little cocky aren't ya???

So what you are saying is God preserved His word in an all but dead language and the few people that do read the language aren't capable of translating it of that language...

In that case, we don't know if there were 10 Commandments or 24...Or none at all...And we don't know what they are if they do exist...

This is why the Hebrew Bible can never be adequately translated into any other language and why no other religion can possibly interpret it correctly.

So maybe God then did not create the heavens and earth...Would seem like God would have taught his chosen people a language like English instead of Hebrew so we could all learn what God had to say...

I'll save some back and forth and spell it out. From Zionist Conspirator's view:

(1) Christianity is a heresy and invalid.

(2) The Torah should not have been translated because it enabled the heresy of Christianity.

(3) The Torah is only for the Jews, who are the only Chosen People of God.

ZC, you are welcome to correct me.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of ZC's position about the relationship between Jews and the rest of the world.

It is perhaps clarified by these passages from Isaiah chapter 60:

 10 "Foreigners will rebuild your walls,
       and their kings will serve you.
       Though in anger I struck you,
       in favor I will show you compassion.

 11 Your gates will always stand open,
       they will never be shut, day or night,
       so that men may bring you the wealth of the nations—
       their kings led in triumphal procession.

 12 For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish;
       it will be utterly ruined.

 13 "The glory of Lebanon will come to you,
       the pine, the fir and the cypress together,
       to adorn the place of my sanctuary;
       and I will glorify the place of my feet.

 14 The sons of your oppressors will come bowing before you;
       all who despise you will bow down at your feet
       and will call you the City of the LORD,
       Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

 15 "Although you have been forsaken and hated,
       with no one traveling through,
       I will make you the everlasting pride
       and the joy of all generations.

 16 You will drink the milk of nations
       and be nursed at royal breasts.
       Then you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior,
       your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

 17 Instead of bronze I will bring you gold,
       and silver in place of iron.
       Instead of wood I will bring you bronze,
       and iron in place of stones.
       I will make peace your governor
       and righteousness your ruler.

 18 No longer will violence be heard in your land,
       nor ruin or destruction within your borders,
       but you will call your walls Salvation
       and your gates Praise.

 19 The sun will no more be your light by day,
       nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you,
       for the LORD will be your everlasting light,
       and your God will be your glory.

 20 Your sun will never set again,
       and your moon will wane no more;
       the LORD will be your everlasting light,
       and your days of sorrow will end.

 21 Then will all your people be righteous
       and they will possess the land forever.
       They are the shoot I have planted,
       the work of my hands,
       for the display of my splendor.

 22 The least of you will become a thousand,
       the smallest a mighty nation.
       I am the LORD;
       in its time I will do this swiftly."

And Chapter 61:
5 Aliens will shepherd your flocks;
       foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.

 6 And you will be called priests of the LORD,
       you will be named ministers of our God.
       You will feed on the wealth of nations,
       and in their riches you will boast.

 7 Instead of their shame
       my people will receive a double portion,
       and instead of disgrace
       they will rejoice in their inheritance;
       and so they will inherit a double portion in their land,
       and everlasting joy will be theirs.

 8 "For I, the LORD, love justice;
       I hate robbery and iniquity.
       In my faithfulness I will reward them
       and make an everlasting covenant with them.

 9 Their descendants will be known among the nations
       and their offspring among the peoples.
       All who see them will acknowledge
       that they are a people the LORD has blessed."

 10 I delight greatly in the LORD;
       my soul rejoices in my God.
       For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
       and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness,
       as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
       and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

 11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up
       and a garden causes seeds to grow,
       so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise
       spring up before all nations.

Old King James did a fairly decent job of making sure US commoners got a shot at reading the WORD... And then we have Mr. Strong who assists the student in the WORD from ‘the beginning’ meaning Moses as to what is really penned.

IF one actually reads the words Moses penned there are multitudes upon multitudes of the children of the House of Israel who do not even know who they are.

And that was to be their punishment because of their idolatry that got themselves shipped off ‘unto’ the Assyrian king.

The Heavenly Father says that allllllll souls belong to Him and there is NO way any one flesh being can claim ownership of the WORDS of the Heavenly Father.
