Exodus Exodus 34:10-28
The covenant is cut again on the same terms, and at its center stands a Name no other passage gives: YHWH, whose name is Jealous.
Exodus Exodus 32:1-14
At the mountain where YHWH is dictating the pattern of his dwelling, Israel casts a golden calf, pins the covenant Name on it, and provokes a wrath that Moses stays not by Israel's repentance but by standing in the gap.
Exodus Exodus 20:1-21
Scripture never calls them 'ten commandments' — it calls them the Ten Words (עֲשֶׂרֶת הַדְּבָרִים), the only law God speaks audibly to a whole nation. They open not with a demand but with a recital of redemption already accomplished, are summed up by Jesus in two commands of love, and provoke a terror so great the people beg for a mediator — the very longing YHWH approves and Christ answers.
