Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5 contain slightly different versions of the Ten Commandments. The differences are only minor, as would be expected if the author of one was already familiar with the other version, but perplexing if written by the ancient leader who painstakingly carved them out at God's command and who could at any time check the wording of the original tablets. The differences are equally perplexing if God inspired the biblical author to write exactly, without error, what was written on the tablets.
