What would the 10 commandments look like if:

Probably better than the crappy ones God came up with

Thou shall not covet?
Give me a break

Coveting a big benefit of life for you?

Slavery is a sin
Coveting not so much
Define slavery; the Bible does not allow slavery.
Define servitude; the Bible permits servitude.
You don’t know what “covet” means.
The word is not covet, the word that does not translate into English means, “plot”.
You will desire but you’re not allowed to plot to acquire.
 
God sucked at the Ten Commandments

the originals, if they existed were destroyed no one knows how many or what they were. as nothing else has been written by the primary participants first hand it is doubtful any tablets etched in stone ever existed - any commandments not readily spoken are forgeries.

the religion of Antiquity is simple enough to be obeyed without the need for written commandments.
Sounds like the Mormons

God gave me written instructions.......but...but....I lost them

Forced labor you are not paid for and are not allowed to leave

Plot is not a substitution for covet and does not meet the context of the commandment
 
Thou shall give smallpox blankets to the indigenous.
 
Forced labor you are not paid for and are not allowed to leave

Plot is not a substitution for covet and does not meet the context of the commandment

You also probably do not get to choose what type of labor you do or when.

Covet means to desire something another has. In many way s it covers lust, gluttony, greed and envy.

Then again, you’re not exactly renown for doing research.

It doesn’t mean “covet”; that’s a bad Greek interpretation.

What I would include in my Commandments

1. Thou shall not allow slavery. Moses led the Hebrews out of slavery and struggled to free them. Yet God does not even prohibit slavery in his ten commandments. I would prohibit slavery and order employers to pay an honest wage and order workers to give an honest days work

2. Thou shall be clean in thy person and thy environment. God could have saved hundreds of millions of lives with this one. Sanitation was a major killer of mankind. Keep yourself clean to avoid germs. Do not pollute your drinking water or your environment. Could have prevented the plague and other killer diseases

3. Thou shall not engage in War. War is a practice of man and not God. God should encourage peaceful resolution of conflicts and consider war an act against God

4. Thou shall educate yourself and others. A critical trait of man. Learning and the spread of knowledge. You should strive to learn your whole life and spread knowledge to others

5. I would expand the honor your father and mother to honor your family. Parents should honor their kids, make sure they are fed and clothed and protected. You should work hard to take care of your family

You obviously have a fundamentally flawed view of scripture

1. Slavery within the Hebrew nation was a means to survive. For example, if you were down and out economically, you could become someone's slave in order to survive. Then in 7 years it was mandatory that you be free once again to see if you can do better. Also, all slaves rested on the Sabbath, something unheard of up until that time.

2. As far as keeping clean, you obviously have no clue as to the commandments given the Hebrew nation. They were told to be clean and wash appropriately. In fact, in Europe Jews followed these cleanliness laws and avoided the Black Death by doing so. At the time, no one knew why they were not dying, so they just assumed that they had made a deal with the devil and then began to kill them all off themselves.

3. God asks people to seek a peaceful resolution when able, however, the people that the Hebrews were kicking out of Canaan were not a peaceful people. In fact, they routinely sacrificed their children to pagan gods. It would be akin to sending in troops to Nazi Germany to end a Holocaust.

4. As for knowledge, the Hebrew people were educated, which is why we have the Bible today. Most during that time were not. In fact, most of what we know about that region from that time ONLY comes from the Bible, such as knowledge about the Philistine people. Historians questioned their existence until they went digging where the Bible said they were. And finally, Jews tend to be socio-economically mobile. Just look at the US today, the most wealthy tend to be Jewish, and no, they did not get there by being unknowledgeable.

5. When the commandments to honor your parents were given, children were seen as a retirement package to help take care of you when you got older, so mistreating them would probably be a big mistake since they will one day have diapers of their own to change, if you know what I mean. At least they did not engage in child sacrifice, until they turned from their God, that is.

All in all, the Ten Commandments were a light to a very, very, dark world.

As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you. You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their clans that are with you, who have been born in your land, and they may be your property. You may bequeath them to your sons after you to inherit as a possession forever. You may make slaves of them, but over your brothers the people of Israel you shall not rule, one over another ruthlessly.

It’s pretty amazing how non-Jews work for Jews and never leave.
Jews treat their non-Jewish employees like gold.

I also guess you missed the part where God told Paroah 10 times to let the Jews go out for 10 days to worship God.
That’s what happens when you come into the room 3/4 through the movie.
