Exodus Exodus 33:1-11
After the golden calf YHWH refuses to go up in Israel's midst, offering an angel instead; the people mourn and strip their ornaments, and Moses pitches a tent outside the camp where he speaks with God face to face.
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.
