Had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach,
To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.- Psa_106:23.
Moses with his minister Joshua remained for forty days and nights in the mount. It was believed that during this time the Divine pattern of the future tabernacle and its furniture was delivered to him. Meanwhile, however, the first signal act of apostasy on the part of the newly-enfranchised nation took place.
The episode is one of the most vivid and dramatic in the Old Testament. It illustrates in a remarkable manner the actual religious condition of the bulk of the Israelites, the character of Moses himself, and the nature of the revelation given to him.
