9:9
Moses now outlines the events which happened there. Not everything that was recounted in the Exodus account is repeated here, but that should not surprise us. Moses is reminding them of this to impress upon them what their sinful nature is like. It is perhaps also worth remembering that most of the people who had taken part in that rebellion were now dead, but the nature of the people was still the same. Moses went up the mountain to receive the Ten Commandments on tablets of stone. Moses fasted for forty days and nights, what was happening on the mountain was a holy time, a time
dedicated to the Lord. What was happening down below was anything but.
9:10
The Lord gave Moses the two tablets of stone, and the Ten Commandments were inscribed upon them by the finger of God. God Himself wrote out the Ten Commandments. These commandments had been declared to the people out of the fire by the Lord. Atheists sometimes say that God hasn’t provided enough evidence. This is nonsense, any supposed lack of evidence (and see Rom 1:19) is not the issue. The issue is our rebellious heart
