Where was Moses when he was given the ten commandments?

Answer 1

The event took place at Mt. Sinai. But 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.

Answer 2

Moses was eighty (80) years old when he and the entire nation of the Children of Israel heard God speak the "ten commandments" (Exodus ch.6).
