Moses was a bit of a madlad


I'm not sure if it's captured in this movie, but Exodus 32:19 makes me chuckle in an awkward kind of a way.

So basically he gets hand written tablets directly from God, it's never been done before, the first of its kind. Only for him to blow a fuse when he comes back to camp at the overindulgence of the camp, smashing them against a rock like someone would smash a dinner plate.

Like, come on bud, you couldn't think of something else to take your anger out on other than the sacred stones?

They were WORSHIPPING A GOLDEN CALF!!! You just don't do that around a god who doesn't like any representations of itself.

I agree with the issue. But why take it out on the stones??? Madlad!

The movie version was worse than the Bible. He hurled the stones right into the crowd, narrowly missing killing several people.
