Imagine being Moses and standing up for God to obnoxious people, and standing up for obnoxious people to an angry God.

Have you ever wondered what Israel was doing while Moses was up the mountain getting the words from God?

Implications and common sense rule the rules and judge the laws.

What is so hard about counting commands anyway?

The ten commandments

or the ten words

or the twelve commandments

or the nine good ideas

or....

Moses speaking with God for the people. Speaking to the people for God. And in the process teaching them how to choose what the say and where to go.

We leave Jethro behind and look science square in the face an realize it's the accent with which God speaks creation into being.

At long last we find Jethro, who, at long last, gets to give Moses's family back to him!

God tests the people with instructions and instructs them as a group when they fail. The guys refer to a book during the episode called Misreading Scripture with Western Eyes by E. Randolph Richards and Brandon J. O'Brien. You can find it at your favorite book seller.
