Exodus 34
New stone tablets are prepared
and God shows himself to Moses with the introduction of “The LORD , the LORD, the compassionate and
gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining
love to thousands and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.” Which is a bit long for a passport in my opinion.
God gives instruction not to
enter into treaties with the inhabitants of the promised land, re-iterates some
of the commandments and required assemblies.
This time when Moses comes down
from the mountain the people are still being well behaved but also his face is
shining from the presence of God.
From this time, it seems that
Moses wore a veil most of the time as his face reflected God, which tended to dazzle the ordinary people.
