Exodus: Affirmation of the Covenant

Blood in basin

All He has spoken we will do

Sprinkled on the people

Sprinkled on the book

— For where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it. 17 For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives. 18 Therefore even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood. 19 For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded you.” 21 And in the same way he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood. 22 And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

Golden Calf

31:18 - When finished speaking, Moses given the Tablet, written by God

;p

Moses was taking a long time — impatience

“We need a god” - Aaron, help us out

Aaron, give me the gold rings in your ears

(Remember they plundered Egypt - and were not slaves in the way we always think)

The god who brought you out

The LORD - 32:5

— Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Go down at once, for your people, whom you brought up from the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.

Your people

You brought out

Like parents - “Do you see what your child has done”

“I will destroy them”

Moses takes up their cause - For the sake of the Name of God

At first Joshua think they are in battle
