00:00What if the Ten Commandments we follow today weren't the original ones?
00:05Some researchers claim they may have been influenced by ancient laws like the Code of Hammurabi,
00:10or even Egyptian texts like the Book of the Dead.
00:13According to this theory, the original commandments may actually appear in Exodus 34,
00:19and they sound very different.
00:21They include,
00:22Worship no other god, for I am jealous.
00:25Make no molten gods.
00:27Keep the feast of unleavened bread.
00:30The firstborn of every womb, human and animal, belongs to God.
00:35Work six days, but rest on the Sabbath.
00:38Observe the Feast of Weeks.
00:40Three times a year, all males must appear before the Lord.
00:43Do not offer sacrifices with leaven and eat them by morning.
00:47The firstfruits belong to God.
00:50And then, one of the strangest laws,
00:53Do not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.
00:56Wait, what?
00:57Yes.
00:58Some say it was meant to stop ancient pagan rituals.
01:02Others believe it teaches compassion.
01:04And in Jewish tradition, this became the rule of not mixing meat and dairy.
01:09Then comes the twist.
01:11Stories like Moses breaking the tablets and the golden calf may have been added later,
01:16connecting two different versions of the commandments.
01:19And Exodus itself says,
01:22These are the Ten Commandments.
01:24So, were they changed over time?
01:26Or are we missing part of the story?
01:29Want the full story?
01:30Check out the book, Reset.
01:32And you know what?
01:32And now we have to be finished.
01:32I don't know.
