Quote by H. G. Hutcheson
One of the reasons why the Ten Commandments are so short and to the point is the fact they were given direct and did not come out of committees.
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.
