The Nine Commandments. (But I thought there were Ten?) This is really interesting.

This is an unusual podcast.  It is s summary of a lecture delivered some years ago by the head, i.e., editor, of the Anchor Bible Project.  This is an effort to translate and ofer exegesis on 66 books.  47 were done at the time of the talk.  The editor says that we need to remember that the books of the Old Testament were not books.  They were scrolls that were organized into a single "book" by an editor or some editors.  And as editors, they organized those scrolls into a structure to create a narrative. These are  fascinating insights. But what happened to the Tenth Commandment?  Interesting that you should ask.
