Why God gave Jews the Ten Commandments

Why God gave Jews the Ten Commandments

There’s a little known tale of how God came to give them to the Jews.

First He went to the Egyptians & asked them if they’d like a commandment.

They asked what’s a-commandment?

It’s like Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery, He replied.

They considered it & refused because it would ruin their weekends.

So God asked the Assyrians if they’d like one.

They also asked, “What’s a-commandment?”

God said, ”It’s like Thou Shalt Not Steal.”

They instantly replied, “No way. It’d ruin our economy. “

Finally God went to the Jews & asked them, Do you want a commandment?

They asked how much.

He said, “Free.”

They said “Great! We’ll take 10!”
