D. The breaking and renewal of the covenant chs. 32-34
"If a narrative paradigmatic of what Exodus is really about were to be sought, Exodus 32-34 would be the obvious first choice.
"That these chapters are paradigmatic of Israel’s relationship with Yahweh throughout the OT is also obvious, and the farthest thing from coincidence." [Note: Durham, p. 418.]
1. The failure of Israel ch. 32
The scene shifts now and we see what was happening in the Israelite camp while Moses was in the heights of Sinai receiving the instructions for the Israelites’ worship. The people were apostatizing and were devising their own form of worship.
