CHAP. XXXII. XXXIII. XXXIV.

MOses on the seventeenth day of the month Tammuz, cometh down from the Mount, and findeth a golden Calf, breaketh it, and breaketh the two Tables; for whereas God had given him the two Ta∣bles, written at the end of his first forty days fast, Moses brake those Tables at the sight of the golden Calf; to shew that Israel had made themselves unworthy of so great a Jewel, and whereas the Lord had given him a pattern, and a command for the making and setting up of a Tabernacle, and the service of it: that benefit is also forfeited by their calvish Idolatry, and neither Tables restored, nor Tabernacle to be made, till Moses by long and earnest prayer had made Israels peace.

Moses having destroyed the golden calf and slain the Idolaters, re∣turns the next day to God by prayer; but is returned back the same day with a sad message, whereupon Israel is humbled; the tent of Moses which hitherto had been in stead of a Tabernacle, is removed out of the unclean camp, and then the cloud of glory which had been taken away because of Idolatry, is restored. The next day Moses goeth up to the Mount again, and falleth into a second forty days fast; and as in his first forty days fast he had seen the figure and pattern of a glorious Tabernacle, so now in this second forty days fast, he desi∣reth to have a sight of the glory of God. On the thirtieth day of the month A••, he goeth up again with the two Tables, and begin∣neth another forty days fast; and seeth the Lord, and heareth him proclaim himself by most glorious attributes, and receiveth some com∣mands from him. On the tenth day of the month Tisri, he cometh down with the glad tydings, that all is well betwixt God and Israel, with the renewed Tables in his hand, and with commission to set about making the Tabernacle.
