Ten Commandments as written in the Torah?
(I’m rereading the bible because I just found out that in the first book of Job, God asks him what the moral foundations of the law are, and then, to demonstrate Job’s moral realism, points to the fact that he broke no laws when, in response to being tortured to death, he “did not sin with his mouth, nor act deceitfully.” I don’t think I would’ve heard about that before, if you don’t know about it, but it’s certainly not in the Torah.)

He was determined to discover the underlying logic behind the universe.
Which was going to be hard, because there wasn’t one. The Creator had a lot of remarkably good ideas when he put the world together, but making it understandable hadn’t been one of them.
Tragic heroes always moan when the gods take an interest in them, but it’s the people the hods ignore who get the really tough deals.
