Summary

This quote suggests that the short and concise nature of the Ten Commandments can be attributed to the fact that they were not created through a collaborative effort or a lengthy decision-making process. Rather, they were directly given or revealed, presumably by a higher power, without the influence of committees or human interventions. This explanation implies that the lack of complexity or elaboration in the commandments is a result of their divine origin, emphasizing their authoritative and non-negotiable nature.
