5. Why mix old testament happening @ new testament time?

I thought the 10 commandments were old testament, or does this end with new time or is it because of showing Passover stuff?

6. The Last Supper was also The Passover Seder

As a result, Easter and Passover coinside on the calendar.

7. I know Passoever Seder was last supper, movie question

did 10 commandments movie include a passover seder? I have a vague recollection of sheepsblood on doors in the movie, but can't remember.

9. It is the first passover

that they celebrate, being let out of egyptian slavery.

I'm not Jewish. Perhaps someone who is could answer your question better.

13. No, the movie does not have a Seder...

Passover and the Seder commemorate the exodus from Egypt but not the receiving of the Ten Commandments. Shavuot is the holiday that commemorates the receiving of the Torah at Sinai.

8. This year Pesach is at the end of April thanks

to this being a leap year in the Jewish calendar.

10. Jewish calendars have leap years too?

I know the solar calanders do, but I didn't know about the lunar calendars too.

11. Here's some info on Jewish leap years

http://www.chabad.org/calendar/view/day.asp?AID=255676


This year is a shanah meuberet (lit., "a pregnant year") or a leap year on the Jewish calendar. The Jewish leap year, which occurs 7 times in a 19-year cycle, has 13 months instead of the regular year's 12. This is so that the lunar-based Jewish year should remain aligned with the solar seasons (12 lunar months make up a total of 354 days -- slightly more than 11 days short of the 365.25 day solar cycle). The added month is called "Adar I" and is inserted before the month of Adar (termed "Adar II" in leap years).

Hammies!

14. Yes, I wouldn't miss the whole laughable epic, bad acting,

bad writing, but great comedy.

And that classic line, "There is a man among the sheep!"

So I'm watching the golden calf scene right now. Since all these slaves were so down trodden in Egypt where did they suddenly find all the gold? Were the ladies selling their favors to the caravans?

15. Oh No!

Moses says, "Go proclaim liberty to all the inhabitants of the land."

So is this where Bush got his mandate to invade countries in the Middle East to bring them freedoms, from Charleton Heston?
