I have always had the "standard" 10 Commandments in my mind and never looked for other references to it until this week.

I am confused as Exodus 34:12-26 looks to be the 10 commandments written on the tables of stone by Moses and yet it is totally different to the 10 found in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5.

(Even Exodus 20 and Deut 5 differs on why to remember the Sabbath...)

Exodus 34:11 opens with: "Observe thou that which I command thee this day. Behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite and the Canaanite, and the Hittite and the Perizzite, and the Hivite and the Jebusite."

Verse 27 then concludes with: "And the Lord said unto Moses, 'Write thou these words, for according to the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.'"

What is your understanding of this?
