Translations:Are there two (or three) different versions of the Ten Commandments?/15/en

Modern Critical "scholarship" spends their time figuring out ways to split apart the Torah into various authors, redactors, time periods, and motivations. One of the fruits of this foolishness is the so-called "Ritual Decalogue" (which they locate at Exod. 34:11-27), which is supposed to be a different version of the "ten commandments." Modern scholars -- who are not committed to the divine inspiration of the text -- will claim that this list of commandments was composed at a different time, by a different author/redactor, and for a different purpose than the Ten Commandments with which we are familiar.
