Exodus

I think that the part where Moses discovers his people have given up on him and his god and returns to them and destroys the commandments is an interesting part because it shows how people can lose faith so easily. God was the one who took them out of Egypt, and when they get hungry, they forget the hardships they suffered during their slavery. This event means to teach us that if we are to follow someone, then we follow them in the good times, as well as the bad, or don’t follow them at all. It also shows us how ungratified man can be. Hope is the one thing that can and must never be lost. Without hope, all is lost. Forgiveness is also very important.

This part means that God is forgiving and kind and merciful, and that to doubt his power is to be deprived of it.
