missing traditions

What people don't believe is that Moses went to Iran
during the block of missing time in the accounts
that his trip to Iran accounts for. He showed them
his staff of snake, and explained about the tablets
and how he came to have horns on his head
due to a mistranslation - dangers
of scriptural literalism, it seems. This also

explains the striking parallels. It was because
Moses was there. He got lost or something.
Later it was all cool, he found his way
back to the tent, where they kept coming to him
with disputes, settled on the spot

by new rules to obey.
