(See related post: The True Meaning of the First Commandment)
The first of the Ten Commandments is bizarre:
“I am Jehovah, your God, Who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of slaves.” (Exodus 20:2).
This “Commandment” is bizarre on two counts.
First, The Bible starts with God as creator:
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1).
Why, then, God introduces Himself as God of History (“Who took you”), and not as God of Creation (“In the beginning God created”)?
