The Book of Exodus records that the phrase “God spoke to Moshe…” occurs 150-plus times each in the TaNaK (Torah, Prophets and Writings). God spoke to Moshe (Moses) more than any other person recorded in the entire TaNaK. This gives us a small glimpse of how highly God esteemed Moshe and how Yeshua’s followers should hold Moshe in more high esteem than they do. When Moshe came back down the second time, he was changed forever.
Thought Questions
Why is the donkey so special?
Why God give Moshe less detail in this chapter than in prior chapters?
What did God say to Moshe during the first 40 days and how does that different from the second 40 days?
What did Moshe offer to God for the people’s sin?
Did God accept this offering?
Did this second 40 day period begin immediately after Moshe came down from the mountain the first time?
Why did Moshe have to cut the stones for the 10 commandments himself?
Why did Moshe go up alone this time, totally unaccompanied?
What did Moshe mean when he told God, “I don’t know you”?
What does the word “mercy” mean in Hebrew?
What is the “pattern of God”?
What is the covenant of Ex. 34:10?
Why didn’t God want the people to make covenants with the people of the land?
What did God write down the second time?
What does it mean when God tells the people not to come before Him empty-handed?
What sacrifice did God offer?
Why did Moshe need to wear a veil?
What “glory” did the veil cover?
