Abraham: the 10 good ideas!  ..Instead of commandments!

 

JERRY:  "If you were a "burning bush"...and I would like some guidance for my people, do you have "10 commandments" that you would offer?"

ABRAHAM: "We have 10 good ideas....Rather than "commandments", what we would offer are examples, in this case verbal offerings, of that which we have found to be a very good way of life...

So a commandment is what NOT to do.    

Rather than tell you what NOT to do, we will tell you what we do." :)
