VERSE: Ex32-10a
Ex32-10a
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-03


SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Recall during the Golden Calf incident God wanted to
destroy the Jewish people but Moses stopped the
destruction thru his prayer.

By ALIGNING Ex32-09 and Dt09-13 we see an extra word
- And God said to Moses -------: This nation is really stubborn
- And God said to me TO RESPOND: This nation is really stubborn

Thus we EXPLICITLY see that God ASKED Moses to
pray (ie RESPOND) for the Jewish people so that
they should not be destroyed. Rashi following
the Talmud finds several supportive hints to this
explicit idea.

2 Verses discussing that the Jews are stubborn
LIST307i
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-03

The context is the golden-calf sin--God had
wanted to destroy the Jewish people.
We align two verses where God sees the
Jews as Stubborn. The minor difference between
these verses shows God wanted Moses to pray for
the Jews. Other supportive texts are presented
VERSE Phrase 1 Phrase 2 Phrase 3 Phrase 4
Ex32-09 God said to Moses ---------- I see this nation They are stubborn
Dt09-13 God said to me to be said I see this nation They are stubborn
Differs *1 *2 *3 *1
COMMENTS
 
*1 The same in both verses

*2 An insignificant Difference. In Dt Moses is speaking and
therefore says that GOD SPOKE TO ME while in Ex God is
speaking and it therefore says GOD SPOKE TO MOSES

*3 The extra phrase TO BE SAID indicates that a response was
required. Hence the Rashi
-- God told Moses that if he didnt pray the Jews would be
destroyed but if he did pray they could be saved*10
LONGER FOOTNOTES
 

*10 We think the above proof the clearest. However there are many
supportive verses showing the importance of MOses prayer.

Example 1
---------
Ex32-10a Now, Moses, LEAVE ME ALONE, and I will get angry
and destroy them

RASHI: God explained to Moses that  if he didnt pray
the Jews would be destroyed

Example 2
---------
The sister verse Dt09-14 states: Moses, GET OFF OF ME
and I will destroy them....

TALMUD: This phrase --- GET OFF OF ME --- shows
that Moses (as it were) grabbed God by the collar and
refused to let go till they were forgiven.
