Discuss The Ten Commandments

The Star of David appears during the segment dealing with Moses and the Hebrews. It is called an anachronism but it was actually a symbol of fertility throughout the ancient from Egypt to India long before it was adopted as a distinctly Jewish symbol ( early Middle Ages).

( Some may insist that since this part of the film is possibly really just a segment in the mind of either the modern lady or one her two sons it was intended to indeed be the Star of David but it is not a genuine anachronism. We are not sure whether that segment is supposed to be genuine or just in somebody's mind and thus merely what they think ancient Egypt and the Hebrews were like. See my postings on Bible accuracy like jet streams.)

NOPE.

"Its association as a distinctive symbol for the Jewish people and their religion dates back to 17th-century Prague. In the 19th century, the symbol began to be widely used among the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe, ultimately coming to be used to represent Jewish identity or religious beliefs."
