For my Israel supporting Christians, remember:
Rabbinical Judaism says that it began while Moses was at the summit of Sinai in the presence of God receiving His Ten commandments, written in stone by His own finger, for us to follow.
Meanwhile while Moses was talking to God, according to the rabbis, angels came to the the tribal elders at the base of Sinai and gave them an additional six hundred and thirteen laws that God could not be bothered to give to Moses.
This is at the same time that the Israelites erected a shrine to Moloch and topped it with a golden calf.
Lucifer was cast out of heaven and with him came one third of the Heavenly host.
Who do you think really gave the Israelites those six hundred thirteen laws?
