Context

• Setting: After the sin of the golden calf, Mosheh returned to Mount Sinai to receive the renewed covenant tablets and instructions. In that intense set-apart presence, YAHUAH sustained him completely.
• Key point: This is a witness that life is sustained by YAHUAH alone, not by bread/water when YAHUAH’s will and presence require otherwise.
