Hmm. Interesting that your parenthetical sarcasm totally ignores Exodus 34:1. Perhaps you need to reread the whole chapter, see if it makes any more sense.

From my reading, God calls for new blank tablets for God to write on, verbally tells Moses more about the covenant and what's expected, and delivers newly written "version 1.0" 10 commandments to Moses.

Quote:Rabbi's aren't usually the ones posting Exodus 20 in public places.

They do, however, discuss the law extensively, study it intensively. I don't see how their not posting it publicly makes them any less experts. Judeo-Christianity pretty much agrees on the wording of the 10 Commandments, though with slight variations in numbering/wording.
