Pope Shenouda III The intercession of Moses for the people of Israel. God willed to destroy the people because they worshipped the golden calf. Yet He did not do it directly but revealed the matter to Moses the Prophet, gave him a chance to intercede for the people and accepted his intercession. In the same way that Abraham said to God: "Far be it from You", Moses said to Him: "Turn from Your fierce wrath, and relent from this harm to Your people. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Your own self. " Then the Bible says: "So the Lord relented from the harm which He said He would do to His people" (Ex.32: 7-14). |
