Correction. No Mosaic Law. The exodus allegedly occurred during the reign of Ramses II, 1279 to 1213 B.C.E. The Code of Hammurabi dates from 1754 B.C.E., predating Mosaic Law by 200 years.

What's the difference? Write a book and claim it was authored by Moses. There is no historical proof.

You would need two books to be authentic.

Moses (OT) and Moses Too (NT). In the sequel, they're just Ten Suggestions, not Commandments.

And so...your point is what exactly: That some mysterious, unknown, anonymous person or persons plagiarized the Code? Is that the deal?

The Mosaic Law drew a great deal from the Code of Hammurabi.

Scholars say the entire OT, with the exception of the book of Job, was written about 500 B.C.E.

Ya, it's all good, Actor. It's Boxie's world, and we just live in it. Anyway, my pipe is a mellow, peaceful smoke while I think his is fire and brimstone.
