Bill D, I think you meant "tablets" rather than "tabernacles"- in your otherwise funny and possibly accurate joke. Tabernacles are booths or huts in which the Children of Israel rested while sojourning in the desert. Moses however took two tablets- as has been amply discussed in constipation threads. Actually God first offered the commandments to all the other nations who refused them . The Children of Israel responded by asking how much they cost. When they heard that they were free they said "We'll take ten!" Talking of stereotypes.... Jack The Lad
