He also reveals that the purpose of the covenant is for the people of Israel to be a witness to the power of God, so that others may see His work.

In Exodus 33:7-11, Moses would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp to speak with God, and the people would watch and bow down in reverence. As a sign of God's presence, a pillar of cloud would descend and Moses would speak to God face to face as one speaks to a friend. This is a high praise for Moses' relationship with God, and serves as a reminder that Joshua is also present in the story, preparing for his future leadership of the people.

There is no way around it, today is a strange and difficult story. In Exodus 32:25-35, Moses confronts the people of Israel who have gone off the deep end in their idolatry, and calls for justice to be meted out in the form of a quasi-military action where people must attack their own kin. Moses commends the people for choosing to do the right, but hard thing in ordaining themselves for service at the cost of a life, and bringing a blessing on themselves in the process. This highlights the seriousness of the rupture of the people's relationship with God and also presents a sobering view of the rupture created when the people worshipped and idol instead of the God who called them out of Egypt.

Moses descends the mountain and is overwhelmed with anger at the sight of the Golden Calf, symbolically shattering the tablets of the covenant. He burns the calf, grinds it into powder, scatters it on the water, and makes the Israelites drink it, making them ingest the wrong they have done. Moses then turns his anger on Aaron, asking him why he brought such a great sin against the people, to only receive one of the most unbelievable lies and self-justifications in all the scriptures.

In Exodus 32:7-14, God is angered by the Israelites' idolatry and rebellion and is ready to turn his wrath against them, even if it means starting over with Moses. He uses the phrase "stiff-necked" to describe their disobedience, which is a reference to a bull or ox that will not be yoked. Though this moment reminds us of Moses's place in between the people and God, it also reminds us of our own reliance upon the grace of God for our own brokenness.

In Exodus 32:1-6, the people of Israel become restless in the absence of Moses and ask Aaron to make gods for them. Aaron takes their gold and creates a calf, a sacred object of the pagan gods in the land of Canaan, symbolizing fertility and strength. This clear and unambiguous destruction of God's covenant marks a clear transition in the story and sets the stage for one of the most challenging stories in Exodus.
