WE read things like this is the O.T. ''he made a golden calf'' and we never think ''i wonder how he did that''????
* how did he get the heat so hot as to melt all the jewels from the Egyptians?
* how many jewels does it take to mold a calf of gold?
the-golden-calf-n.jpg
* WHERE DID HE GET THE MOLD from?
Moses and AAron
IT WOULD SEEM then the 2 Hebrew slaves were infact ''master metal smiths''
aka - according to the authors of the Torah, both Moses and Aaron were master smiths which indicated that their ancestor was also a gold metal smiths.
the ARTS
Of fashioning of images were kept secret and taught only to the members of the clan.
How he made the calf
let me not surmise = here is the story - the facts
The Torah gives us two accounts.
First, the narrator’s account.
WHAT IS A ''CHETET?
A cheret is a magic spell.
Second, Aaron’s report to Moses.
Aaron is a skilled magician?.
He transmutes matter to energy to matter.?
God gave him this gift.?
Aaron’s hands, inanimate matter comes to life.
Isn’t this exactly what the narrator says?
As soon as Aaron makes the calf, Torah says, Aaron saw (Exodus 32:8).
what did Aaron see?
Aaron saw the calf had become a living being.
Isn’t this exactly what Aaron confesses to Moses?
Moses talks God out of killing them all and punishes them himself.
The ringleaders are executed, all the people drink the ground-up ashes of the idol, and then their relationship with God is reaffirmed.
they had not yet received the ANY commandments.....
so '' bible experts'' say there are 2 million people wandering about????
QUESTION
how did ALL these people drink the ashes?
QUESTION
HOW big was this Golden calf that supernaturally appeared from all the ladies ear rings gathered in a cloth?
RESULT
* THE GOLD taken [as a gift] from all the Egyptians put in a extremely large cloth. thrown into the fire [ very hot] and a spell was spoken and a very very large Calf appeared by magic
Moses got so angry when he viewed the calf,
* Is it true that Moses killed 70000 Israelites for worshipping a cow?
* how long does it take to kill 70.000 men?
* did the men just stand there waiting their turn to die?
then
* he ground this very very very large calf into asheS [ not told how]
and
* gave everyone of 2,000,000 people [now -minus 70,000 men] a drink of the ashes
* did they line up - how long was the line????
how fascinating is that
PS ADDED
ofcourse we must Remember ''idol worship'' CANNOT be tolerated
The Canaanite gods were bloodthirsty, power-hungry, and immoral,
while
Yahweh was pure, holy, compassionate, and concerned for the poor and weak.
[????really????] the slaves? had not received the commandments NOR agreed to keep them- but injustice always must rule under Yahs
