When Moses Finally said "No!" to GodWhen Moses Finally said "No!" to GodWhen Moses Finally said "No!" to GodWhen Moses Finally said "No!" to God by Dr. Shaiya Rothberg, Conservative Yeshiva Facultyy Dr. Shaiya Rothberg, Conservative Yeshiva Facultyy Dr. Shaiya Rothberg, Conservative Yeshiva Facultyy Dr. Shaiya Rothberg, Conservative Yeshiva Faculty

The prophet Isaiah emphasized that mysterious are the ways of God and

rarely are divine intentions just what they seem (Isaiah 45:15, 55:8). A

close reading of this week's Torah portion suggests that under the

surface of the story may lay just the kind of hidden agenda that the

prophet means.

After inviting Moses into a "devouring fire" at the top of the mountain in

front of all Israel, God keeps him up there for forty days and forty nights

(Ex. 24:12-18). One can't but suspect that God was well aware that by the

time Exodus 32:1 rolled around, the people would think Moses dead and

themselves abandoned in the desert. Sure enough, "The people saw that

Moses didn't come back and so they gathered around Aaron and said

'Get up! Make us a God! ...because this man Moses, we don't know

what's happened to him..." Was God really surprised?

Furthermore, God's response to the calf is more than a little strange. God

says to Moses, "Now allow me [ ] ְוַעָּתה ַהּנִיָחה ִּלי to let my anger destroy them

and I'll make you into a great nation" (32:10). "Allow me"!? Since when

does God, about who it is said "God gives no account of any of God's

doings" (Job 33:13), ask permission to do anything? And one wonders

whether God's offer to make a new nation out of Moses was a test. Would

Moses take the bait? In truth, Moses' answer seems a little weak. He

more or less says (Exodus 32:11-14), "God, it will be really bad for Your

image in Egypt if you kill them all now." One might have expected a more

principled argument, as Avraham had raised before God at Sdom (Gen

18:23): 'Will You sweep away the innocent along with the guilty?'

In Exodus 32:32, after Moses had more time to think about God's threat/

offer, he revises his position. He says to God: "Now, if you forgive them -

great, but if not, erase me from the book that You have written!" There's a

lot of chutzpah in that statement. Moses essentially said, "Sure, you can

kill them if you want, but I refuse to be the father of your new nation!"

Maybe then God said to God's self: "Finally, he's growing a backbone! I'm

not sure how much more idle talk, about bad public relations I could

take!"

God's next move points to the same hidden agenda. In Exodus 33:3, God

makes it clear that while obliterating the people is off the table, God is

leaving Israel and will send an angel instead. The people mourn and

Moses immediately removes the Tent of Meeting (with God) from the

Israelite camp (33:7). But then a period of negotiation between Moses

and God begins (33:12-21). Verses 33:14-15 are difficult to interpret.

Following Rashi, we might render them like this: "OK", God says in verse

14, "I agree to move back in". "That's good", responds Moses in verse 15,

"because if you don't move back in, I quit!" Perhaps at this point God

leaned back and said, "I think he's gotten the hang of telling Me off. The

goal of this lesson has been achieved!"

We are in the story of the Mishkan(Tabernacle) but taking a break to see what the people are doing while Moshe is up on the Mountain receiving the tablets. Here comes the Golden Calf!

1) The Torah allows for a census in a creative way. How will we know how many people are in the nation? What is the purpose of giving this silver (30:11, 15)? What is this silver to be used for (30:16)? Keeping all this in mind, why is the wealthy not allow to give more, and the poor not give less?

2) As we come to the end of the instructions for building the Mishkan (Tabernacle), laws and reasons for Shabbat are presented (31:12-17). Shabbat is a sign between God and the people. What is it a sign of? What is the reason for Shabbat, according to what is written here? Why does this appear at the end of the instructions of building the Mishkan? The story of the golden calf and its consequences take up about 3 chapters. These questions touch on a few points.

3) When the story begins Moshe has been up on Mount Sinai for nearly 40 days, receiving the tablets. Read 32:1. What do the people want Aaron to do and why do they want him to do it? Do you think that this was this a rejection of God or an attempt to connect to God?

4) God is furious with the people's actions (why?) and wants to destroy them (32:7-10). Moshe (still up on the mountain) approaches God with 2 arguments against killing the people. What are his arguments? Neither argument has anything to do with the merit of people themselves. Why does Moshe not try to speak well of the people to God?

5) When Moshe comes down and sees the dancing around the calf, he throws down the tablets and breaks them (32:19). Why do you think that he did this? Do you think that he was right to do so? Why?

May He who blessed our ancestors and is the source of all healing bless and heal those who are ill. May the Holy One Praised Be He mercifully restore them to vigor and lift the burden of anxiety from their loved ones and friends.

On this (Sabbath, Festival, Judgment or Penitence) day we pray that they be spared further pain. May God grant them health of body and health of spirit and mind. May we speedily be privileged to greet their return to good health by welcoming them once again into our midst. Let us say: Amen.
