I also Mr Doty would be interested in your reference
A quick search of the old testament does indicate that the tablets were written on both sides - but i can find no reference to 600 commandments anywhere.
Deu 25:11 “When men fight with one another, and the wife of one shall draw near to rescue her husband from the hand of the one attacking him, and shall put out her hand and seize him by the genitals,
Deu 25:12 then you shall cut off her hand – your eye does not pardon.
Deterrent Wisdom in the statutes directed as instruction to totally ignorant homeless people .
How did Wisdom completely render void several pounds of defiled gold ? (the golden calf)

aren’t there supposed to be two tablets? Or was this tablet perforated for ease of separation?

I think that’s why there were only 10 commandments. Those commandments were dropped.

Two approaches to law:
American (English, Common) Law: spell it all out in exquisite, painful detail.
Roman (Napoleonic, Canon) Law: give the principles and trust the magistrate to adjust for the exceptions to make the legislator’s intent work.
The Ten Commandments are closer to Roman Law.

Hammurabi Plagiarized

But,didn’t Hammurabi come before the commandments?

Ah yes, History of the World. That’s where I got the idea.
Mel Brooks holds up 3 tablets and says “I give you these 15…(drops a tablet, breaking it to pieces)…10 commandments.”

This reinforces one of my dictums that states your quality of life diminishes in direct proportion to the number of attorneys you personally know.

Especially “you shalt not give false witness” has been really tough on the religious right.
