The famous 10 commandments are fairly reasonable rules stipulating

decent behavior. But for the spooks, they’re really pun-encrypted laws
about spookery, ordering them to deceive the common people, and to
never tell anyone about it. If you think that short sencences like
“don’t kill” cannot contain encrypted messages… then have a look at
my decryption here, and think again!

4/28/2021 10 commandments - Ancient Spooks

Each Hebrew word is a block; each Hebrew verse is a paragraph of

little blocks.
Blocks & text are read left-to-right, as in English.
Possible pun meaning is on light red at the top, with pun vocabulary
just below.
Original Hebrew text is in the center.
Official meaning is on light green at the bottom, with official
vocabulary just above.
Pun vocabulary is in red, whenever the meaning differs.
Pun decryption is not an exact science, so please judge yourself
whether I got it right.

It goes without saying that meaningful rules are always meaningful,

regardless of the punnery beneath them.
