Assuming everything in their report is true, I would say it's a mistranslation.

Oh, that's great. But, oh wait, we're not discussing that. We're discussing whether or not a command from God would be necessarily moral. I'm sorry.

I am attacking the idea of a perfect god. If god is indeed perfect then everything he has done is also perfect and thus moral. however even within the torah and bible itself, god is not a perfect being. Since god is not a perfect being, as shown by the contradictions, tha claims that he is the perfect moral actor also do not make sense.

We're not discussing whether or not God is perfect. Why? Because this particular scenario is under the assumption that God is perfect because it says so in the Holy Bible. So if you wanna go do that, go right ahead, but it's not a part of this discussion.
And, yes, in the Holy Bible God is perfect. It says God is perfect in Psalm 18:30, Matthew 5:48 and probably elsewhere. So you could argue that God isn't, but it says rather explicitly more than once that God is.

10 commandments, thou shalt not murder. Yet god has killed the entire planet save a boat load of people an 2 of each type of animal (male and female). He has ordered the killing of populations as the Jews escaped to the promise land. He killed the first born son of every Egyptian, no matter the age. Yet you are claiming since he is perfect, his order are moral. So, either as per the 10, murder is immoral, or as per his actions it is moral. It cannot be both moral and immoral.
