That is why Christianity is a major step above every other religion in the world, it deals with relationship not religionship. 6:3, “Then you will know ( yada) Me when you follow on to know ( yada) Me.” You see, you can keep all 1,521 commands perfectly but that does not help you to know ( yada) God intimately, just to know about Him. You see, religion is man made, with its lists of do’s and don’ts to please God but God is more concerned with a relationship than a religionship. So, 39 times 39 equals 1,521, good luck with that. In fact they really have 1,521 commands to observe, 39 ( abbot) fathers or heads with 39 ( tolladot) children under each heading. The Jewish leaders came up with 613 248 positive ones and 365 negative ones. Moses gives them five here, probably because they have five fingers on each hand as a memory tool, Micah gave them three, Jesus gave them two Love the Lord thy God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and your neighbor as yourself. Why does man make it so difficult? Micah said, “What does the LORD require, “To do justly To love mercy To walk humbly with thy God.” Sounds pretty simple to me, does it to you? God gave man ‘Ten Commandments” the first four concern our relationship with God, and the last six concern our relationship with mankind and most people can’t name more than three, how many can you name? – To keep the commandments of the LORD and His statutes, which I command you this day for thy good.” Sounds a lot like Micah 6:8. – To serve the LORD thy God with all your heart and with all your soul 5. – To love Him unconditionally no holds barred 4. – “To fear the LORD (reverence) Him, this is reverential trust 2. Then He told Moses what He required of Israel in vv. 11 that he stayed in the mountain for 40 days and nights and communed with the LORD, ‘sweet, sweet fellowship’ face to face.

33:38, and Eleazar his son is appointed ‘High Priest.’ The tribe of Levi is sanctified to bear the ark, stand before the LORD, and minister for Him, and “Bless the people” in His name. Aaron makes a golden calf, Moses breaks the tablets and makes atonement for Aaron and the people, then Aaron dies on the first of Av, on Mt. I believe he only did it twice as stated in this verse. Some scholars believe Moses fasted for forty days and nights three times because of his references to it, however I don’t believe he did. “And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights and the LORD (YeHoVaH) hearkened unto me at that time also, and the LORD would not destroy thee.” Deut. “Moses Mentions His Second Forty Day Fast” Deut.
