Moses recounts the time he was at Mount Sinai with the Israelites. It retells the original 10 Commandments being spoken audibly from the fire. It also says that it was these that were written on the stone tablets.
Interestingly, the Sabbath day is associated as a result of God leading them out of Egypt. Taken to it's logical conclusion, it is possible the Sabbath day commandment would be "Jewish" like the way the Passover is, I.e., a command for them, but not necessarily a "command" for the New Testament era.
Here, the Sabbath is supposed to be day refraining from "ordinary" work. But non-ordinary work is allowed. Again, I think God is putting in place the modern concept of the weekend.
Also, God pushes the families of people who reject God, while blessing those that follow God to a thousand generations. This might give some explanation why the total war in the Canaanifes occurred, notably, why children get killed.
