The Stone Tablets The first set of the Ten Commandments were hewn and written on stone by God Himself. Moses broke them in rage when he found Israel worshipping the Golden Calf. God made Moses prepare new tablets and bring them into the mountain where Moses wrote as God dictated the law. Those tablets were stored in the Ark of the Covenant for centuries. Exodus 34:1 - "And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest." Jealous God God promised Israel a holy land, but commanded them to remove every false god. God will not share His glory or tolerate spiritual adultery. Our love for Him must be undivided. Love not the world. Exodus 34:12 - "Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee: But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves: For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God."                                           Moses' Fast Moses spent forty days in the holy mount, presumably without food. God miraculously engraved the Ten Commandments on stone tablets. Moses descended and found Israel sinfully rioting. He broke the tablets in fury, and returned up the mount for another forty days without food and water -- a truly miraculous fast. Ordinarily, no man could attempt that and survive. Nevertheless, his fasting yielded supernatural results. Holy fasting will sanctify you unto God with miraculous results. Exodus 34:28 - "...he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water." Forfeiting Gold Nowadays, people do not talk about this much, but it is a big deal in the ancient story. After the Children of Israel offended God so profoundly by worshipping the Golden Calf, they turned in all their gold. Eventually, God commanded that all gold be surrendered either to the Tabernacle or the Kingdom - no privately held gold. Exodus 35:22 - "And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD."
