How the Jews got the 10 Commandments
God went to the Arabs and said:
I have Commandments for you that will make your
lives better."
And the Arabs asked, "What are Commandments?"
And the Lord said:
"They are rules for living."
"Can you give us an example?"
"Thou shalt not kill."
"Not kill? We're not interested."
So he went to the Blacks and said :
I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better.
And the Blacks wanted an example, and the Lord said:
- "Honor thy Father and Mother."
- "Father? We don't know who our fathers are."
So He went to the Mexicans and said:
I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better.
And the Mexicans wanted an example, and the Lord said:
- "Thou shalt not steal."
- "Not steal? We're not interested."
He went to the French and said:
"I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better.
"The French wanted an example and the Lord said:
"Thou shalt not commit adultery."
"Not commit adultery? We're not interested.
He went to the Jews and said:
"I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better."
"Commandments?" they said, "How much are they?"
"They're free."
"We'll take 10."
