Exodus 34:1-7

Moses Makes New Tablets

34:1 And the Lord said to Moses, [Ex. 24:12; 31:18; 32:15, 16, 19; Deut. 4:13] “Cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and (Deut. 10:2, 4) I will write on these tablets the words that were on the first tablets which you broke. 

2 So be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself to Me there (Ex. 19:11, 18, 20) on the top of the mountain. 

3 And no man shall (Ex. 19:12, 13; 24:9–11) come up with you, and let no man be seen throughout all the mountain; let neither flocks nor herds feed before that mountain.”

4 So he cut two tablets of stone like the first ones. Then Moses rose early in the morning and went up Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him; and he took in his hand the two tablets of stone.

5 Now the Lord descended in the (Ex. 19:9) cloud and stood with him there, and ( Ex. 33:19) proclaimed the name of the Lord. 

6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord (Num. 14:18; Deut. 4:31; Neh. 9:17; Joel 2:13) God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in (Rom. 2:4) goodness and (Ps. 108:4) truth, 

7 (Ex. 20:6) keeping mercy for thousands, (Ps. 103:3, 4; Dan. 9:9; Eph. 4:32; 1 John 1:9) forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, (Josh. 24:19; Job 10:14; Mic. 6:11; Nah. 1:3) by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.”

Furnishings of the Tabernacle . ‎The book of Exodus details the construction of the tabernacle and its furnishings. As Yahweh’s sanctuary, the tabernacle served as God’s dwelling place among the Israelites—the expression of the covenant between Yahweh and His people ( Exod 25:8–9 ).

A Threshing Floor

A Threshing Floor In the ancient world, farmers used threshing floors to separate grain from its inedible husk (chaff) by beating it with a flail or walking animals on it—sometimes while towing a threshing sledge. Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.

Modern Mount Calvary

Modern Mount Calvary ‎Great authorities are marshaled in favor of both claimants—the church within and the mound without the walls. For a long time, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was the only traditional spot pointed out as the place of burial. But with the growing influence of the Grotto of Jeremiah, the modern Mount Calvary, a picture of which we give, increased in favor. This whole discussion as to the place where Christ was crucified, and as to the tomb in which His body was placed, turns upon the direction which the walls about Jerusalem took at the time of the crucifixion. If the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was outside the wall at that time, as Dean Stanley thinks it might have been, the chances in favor of its being the place of crucifixion and burial are increased. If, however, the site of this church was inside the wall at that time it is sure that the place of burial and crucifixion was not there, for Christ was crucified outside of the walls of Jerusalem.
