What evidence do you have, outside of the Bible itself, that any of these historical events actually happened:

(1) the oppression in Egypt;
(2) the exodus from Egypt and the crossing of the Red Sea on dry land;
(3) the divine authorship and miraculous delivery of the ten commandments,
(4) the wandering in the desert;
(5) manna;
(6) the conquest of Canaan?

Since none of these events occurred, your case for the divine nature of the ten commandments is nonexistent.

thank you, even though this doesn't address what he specifically wrote...it does snip the problem before he can assert that the text is devinely insprired. meaning, it kills his assertations without having to address his comments

28And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
