You seem to believe that the bible is not the word of God but it the word of people interpreting God. In this case you seem to think that the Jews got it wrong. For what reason do you think so?
It would depend on the Jew doing the interpreting, The orthodox certainly believe the Books of Moses are the words of God. Other Scholars seem to be less sure of the writer of the Books but would say they were in someones own words but were inspired.
Other scholars would say the Books, as we Know them, are a redaction of Four earlier versions hence the duplication of events, and the difference in styles.
As the Books contain events that include the death of Moses and after, More elaborate explanations are believed.
I am happy to accept what any one choses to believe for themselves. For my part I believe all the scriptures are the inspired words of men, but that they contain errors, omissions and much truth.
How can you explain Genesis ch. 20?
1 And God spoke all these words: 2 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
3 “You shall have no other gods before[a] me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
This is supposedly God himself talking normally just like a God word. Is this a commentator too with a fallacious story of God?
Those are all quotations, is different from that in the OP. Perhaps to make the passage more acceptable to those who commissioned the translation. It could even be one of the Duplications I mentioned earlier, as when there was doubt the redactor included both versions.
There is no reason to believe it is more correct.
