Is Passover story real or metaphorical? If real what parts? Enslaving Jews? Moses? Plagues? Wandering desert? Promised land? Gold calf? 15 Command?

Chag pesach sameach if celebrating!

[Dongie]

It's all true except 15 there is only 10.

[DrPepper12]

No no no!! I SAW history of the world!! He had 15 but dropped one tablet!!!

[Dongie]

Mel's version, even tho he's Jewish, is not accurate. 😅

[RavVid]

I thought he smashed the first set when saw the golden calf because he got very angry about it but later got a repro made.

You'd think that would have justified an eleventh about not getting angry and mashing scared objects but I guess it didn't.

[Dongie]

@RavVid

Yes, Moses did smash the first cuts in stone of the 10 commandments.

[DJB72]

Real. But there's only ten commandments

[DrPepper12]

No no no!! I SAW history of the world!! He had 15 but dropped one tablet!!!

[dreamstar72]

Actually Dr Pepper is closer because there are really 613 commands in the Bible

[DJB72]

I'm not convinced Mel Brooks is an authority...

There's ten Commandments. The balance are Laws. There's a difference. The Law applied to the Jews while the Commandments are universal and written on every heart by God, manifesting as a conscience.

There is no record in Egyptian texts nor any archaeological trace of people wandering the desert. The red sea thing may be true because it still happens occasionally.

[Likes2drive]

I guess it’s based on some type of factual thing long ago

[jshm2]

Yeah, but most Jews today don't know what it's about.

[Dargil]

Maybe both factual and allegorical.

[MisterWack]

I don’t know much of Passover.

[Billybob46]

There are 10 commandments, but yes.

[DrPepper12]

Mel Brooks says 15. He is God.

[Billybob46]

True.
