To save us from extremism God gave this command that we shouldn’t add or subtract to what He has said. An assessment of most contentious issues shows that they are additional or subtracted from God’s word. God is asking that we leave it as it is. Why can’t we leave it as it is?
God knew that it is Zipporah who is to blame, yet God came for Moses! Moses was held accountable yet it was Zipporah’s mistake?
Isn’t it good to know when God is about to get angry so that we avoid that situation of being enemies of God? How can I tell that I am about to face the wrath of God?

If no one can tame the tongue, are we hopelessly at the mercy of whatever the tongue does? If the tongue is a restless evil and no one amongst us all can tame it, aren’t we permanent slaves to the whims of the evil tongue?
