Moses is the prophet, whom God entrusted to save the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt. Moses came to Pharaoh and
asked him to let his people go. The Pharaoh refused and God sent different punishments to the people of Egypt, known as the Ten Plagues of Egypt.
Egypt suffered severely, and the Pharaoh let them free.
God also made himself known to Moses on the summit of Mount Sinai and spoke to him, and instructed him for a long time.
"When Lord had finished speaking with Moses on Mount sinai, the Lord gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, stone tablets written with the finger of God."
The people, however, had again rebelled and made a golden calf, and prayed to it. God wanted to put an end to these stubborn people
and start a great nation from Moses, but Moses pleaded Him not to do this. As Moses "approached the camp, he saw the bull-calf and the dancing, and in a burst
of anger he flung down the tablets and shattered them at the foot of the mountain."
