Do We Seriously Want to Meet God?
Manage episode 339080753 series 2813927
One of the more surprising stories in the Old Testament book of Exodus receives
little attention, perhaps because the story is so short. But Moses is up on
Mount Sinai receiving the Law, and God tells him that He intends to come down
into the camp and meet the people in three days. Moses accordingly reports
God’s intention to the people down below who tremble with fear (they can see
the fiery shaking mountain, after all) and suggest, alternatively, that they
will stay in their tents, and perhaps Moses can just climb back up the mountain
and meet God there.
