Where did Moses receive the 10 commandments?

Answer 1

; Exodus 31 : 18 : And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God. ; Exodus 34 : 4 : And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone. In Mt. Horeb;

Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb. Malachi 4:4

Answer 2

There are ten commandments mentioned in The Bible. These are referred as the

decalogue. The decalogue is mentioned three times; in Exodus 20,

Deuteronomy 5, and Exodus 34. Curiously, they aren't always the same. Only

the Exodus 34 version is actually called the Ten Commandments. The Bible is

rather ambiguous about where Moses received the decalogue. Exodus says

Mount Sinai, but Kings, Chronicles and Malachi imply Mount Horeb. Exodus 22

describes how Moses received two stone tablets with the first version of the

decalogue. These were broken and a new set was produced (described in

Exodus 34). Exodus is also ambiguous about whether God or Moses physically

wrote the commandments.

Moreover, if our memory of scripture is accurate, the entire unified people of

Israel, gathered at the base of the mountain, heard the Ten Commandments

spoken in some kind of loud voice from the direction of the mountain, and found

the experience so fearful and exhausting that they begged not to hear any

more first-hand, and for Moses to bring the rest to them and tell them about it.

The so-called "Ten Commandments" came direct, not through Moses.

Also according to scripture, forty years later, as Moses narrated his memoirs to

the people just before his death, and recalled the event at Sinai, he paraphrased

the Ten Commandments, not even repeating the same words that everyone had

heard there.
