that<BR>pesky problem which RnTK astutely pointed out of having one
very<BR>sparsely written tablet and one very wordy tablet, then I might
propose<BR>that the tablets could've had the 10 Commandments structured like
this:<BR><BR>2 1<BR>3 4<BR>6 5<BR>7 8<BR>10 9<BR><BR> Using the Yisro
version, it turns out that the number of words on each<BR>tablet would be
exactly the same -- and a "nice" gematria to boot. (I'll<BR>let the reader
figure out what word I had in mind.) This idea of mine is<BR>admittedly based
on nothing but aesthetics, and would surely demand an<BR>explanation for the
serpentine pattern.<<<BR><BR><BR><BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
