- Where is the selected text placed within the particular book or even in the whole of scripture?
If one talks about Moses, from his birth to his death, the narrative is shown in four books: Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, but if one talks only about Exodus, the narrative includes three phases of the Israelite people in their journey to Promised Land: 1) escape from Egypt (Exodus 1-15), 2) From Egypt to Sinai, including the first stage of the journey to the Promised Land, and a lengthy stay at Mount Sinai (Exodus 16-24, and 3) Law, ritual and holiness (Exodus 20:22-23 and 25-40). The verses under research, Exodus 34:29-35, are placed within the third part of book.

Later, Moses prayed to the Lord, interceding for the sin of his people, and asking for their forgiveness; God forgave them, then Moses received the departure order to go to the Promised Land. Right before the departure, Moses prayed again to the Lord asking for guidance during the second part of the exodus, and Moses wanted to see God. The Lord gave the instruction to Moses to prepare two tablets again and ordered him to go up the Sinai Mountain. Moses did as the Lord said to him. The verses under study are the part where Moses came down from Sinai with the tablets of the covenant for the second and last time. I found that the selected verses are located at the very end of the apostasy of Israel and the renewal of the covenant, right before instructions about the execution of building a sanctuary. It seems that the Lord is enforcing new precepts when people enter into the new land, but they are still in Sinai. The Lord wants people build a

    (Exodus 3-4) Dealing with his pride, he went from privilege to poverty, to trailing about the dessert with grumbling people who took a long time to learn the lessons God was trying to teach them: humility, submission, and to be humble in the presence of the Lord. One of Moses’s major trials seems to have been the difference between what he thought his assets were, and what God thought his assets were. When he finally obeyed and fulfilled God’s will for him, Moses then had to bring law to the Israelites, and ultimately all Christians, while doing his best to keep them focused on the many blessings God had granted them. Moses brought the new covenant to the people.

    The Book of Numbers – in Hebrew, Bəmidbar, meaning “in the wilderness [of Sinai]” – describes the the Israelites’ long journey in the desert to take possession of God’s promised land. The Jewish Study Bible divides Numbers into three major units based on “geographical criteria” and “ideological motifs”. The first unit spans from Numbers 1.1 to 10.10 and details the Israelites’ encampment at Mount Sinai and their preparation for the long journey. The second unit picks up this narrative and describes the generation‐long march in the desert from Sinai to Moab. The final unit, starting with Numbers 22.2, narrates the encampment on the plains of Moab before entering the promised land of Canaan.

    The Law of Moses is understood through the “spirit of prophecy” or “a testimony of Jesus.” In summary, when you study the law of Moses you can expect to find a witness of Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice and gospel principles illustrated in the laws given. Many of the laws may no longer be required of the Saints, but the principles taught are eternal and will never be set aside. For example, the practice of blood sacrifice was fulfilled when Jesus came and the tokens of the sacrament were given in place of the old law. But the principle was as true when the tokens were animals offered on the altar as it is now when the tokens are bread and water
