“You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with anything leavened, or let the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover remain until the morning. The best of the firstfruits of your ground you shall bring to the house of the LORD your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.” Comment: Leaven represents, is a type of, sin and God is Holy. There is nothing wrong with using leaven in cooking but this was a clear word to people that God is Holy.Holy, Holy. The statement about eating the sacrificed lamb at the memorial Feast for the ‘Passover’ mirrored the original order at the time the people were freed from slavery; God deserves the best. The order for cooking – is this a respect for motherhood and the sanctity if life? I don’t know.
And the LORD said to Moses, “Write these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” So he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights. He neither ate bread nor drank water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments. Comment: Either Moses was miraculously enabled to endure the 40 days without water or very possibly as quoted in Wikipedia “Yes, ‘without food and water’ can be used to express ‘not eating’, this was obtained in asking can the phrase be used colloquially. God is very capable of performing miracles! People can survive longer than that without food but not without water.
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand as he came down from the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God. Aaron and all the people of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him. But Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses talked with them. Afterward all the people of Israel came near, and he commanded them all that the LORD had spoken with him in Mount Sinai. And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.
Whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he would remove the veil, until he came out. And when he came out and told the people of Israel what he was commanded, the people of Israel would see the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face was shining. And Moses would put the veil over his face again, until he went in to speak with him. Comment: Although being in close contact with Jesus (God) should alter our demeanour and give us the ‘shalom’ of God, obviously Moses’ glowing face was miraculous! But note that saints don’t wear ‘halos’, but God’s people should be different in a positive sense!
Proverbs 21: 31 The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the LORD.
