Receiving the Ten Commandments

Before God gave Moses the Torah he pulled him aside and explained to him that he was offering his commandments to the Jewish people;

Moses immediately put down a bid, "what about 100 shekels?"

"Well," God said, "you don't understand…"

"Ok, Ok, I get it," Moses said, "I'll raise it a little, 120?"

"No," God said, "I can't…"

"Fine," Moses said, "150, but that's my final offer…"

"STOP" God said, "YOU DON'T NEED TO PAY FOR THEM, THEY'RE FREE"

"Great," Moses said, "I'll take ten."
