Annual Reading Schedule - Torah Given Through Mosheh - Week 19 - "Who Is For YHWH? Come To Me" & "I Shall Send My Messenger" (Exodus 31:18-33:6)
Reading Questions
- What book is being referred to in Exodus 32:32-33?
- What were the main basis upon which Mosheh (Moses) made his appeal to Yahweh for relenting from doing any evil to the people?
Reading Notes
- Mosheh was an intercessor for the people in Exodus 32:11-13. Perhaps this is part of his meekness and humility, and one of the reasons he was chosen by Yahweh to do all the things that he was chosen to do. We see that Mosheh had faith that Yahweh would keep his promises and do what he said concerning his servants Avraham, Yitschaq, and Ya'aqov and their seed after them. We too, like Mosheh, must have faith that Yahweh will do the things He has said and means what He commands as well. If Yahweh swears to do something, He will certainly do it. We must believe that His promises are all certain and unwavering and not doubt at all.
- Stiff-necked is referenced in this reading and could be referring to literally having a stiff neck, but could also be referring to a headstrong attitude to go in a certain direction and not listen to someone who is trying to tell you what is right, for you to repent of and/or listen to for your own good. May Yahweh help us to never be stiff-necked but to always be tender hearted, and turn our heads to Him to listen to Him and obey, and be repentant and obedient in our hearts and our whole being.
