10 Commandments, 10 Heavenly Orbs

Everyone's all upset about the idea of the "10 Commandments" being displayed in American public schools. I think they *SHOULD* be displayed, in Biblical Hebrew, and American public school students should be required to learn Biblical Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, just like the good old days of "Classical" education. Recitation of the Decalogue in Biblical Hebrew should be a Graduation requirement.

Additionally, they might also display the following image of how our great sage, Avraham Ibn Ezra, (may his memory continue to bless Our People!), understood the "Heavenly Orbs" (aka the Celestial Spheres) to be related to the 10 Commandments.

You’ve heard the expression “7th Heaven”? That’s a reference to Saturn!
