Exodus 32:15 Summary

This verse tells us that Moses came down from the mountain with two special stones, called tablets, that had God's laws written on them. The laws were written on both sides of the stones, which shows how complete and important God's laws are. Just like Moses, we should carefully follow God's laws and commands, as seen in Psalm 119:105, and remember that Jesus taught us to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind in Matthew 22:37-40. By doing so, we can show our love and respect for God, just as Moses did when he carefully carried the tablets down the mountain.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the two tablets of the Testimony that Moses had in his hands?

The two tablets of the Testimony refer to the tablets of stone that God wrote the Ten Commandments on, as mentioned in Exodus 31:18 and Deuteronomy 9:10. These tablets were a physical representation of the covenant between God and His people.

Why were the tablets inscribed on both sides?

The tablets being inscribed on both sides, front and back, signifies the completeness and thoroughness of God's law, as seen in Exodus 32:15. This also emphasizes the importance of obeying God's commands from every angle, as Jesus taught in Matthew 22:37-40.

What is the significance of Moses turning and going down the mountain with the tablets?

Moses' descent from the mountain with the tablets in hand symbolizes the transition from receiving God's law to implementing it among His people, much like Jesus' descent from the mountain after the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 8:1. This act of obedience is crucial in our own walk with God, as seen in James 1:22.

How does this verse relate to the rest of the story in Exodus?

This verse serves as a turning point in the narrative, as Moses is about to encounter the idolatry of the Israelites, which is contrasted with the holy law of God written on the tablets, highlighting the tension between obedience and disobedience, as seen in Exodus 32:1-6 and Romans 7:14-25.

Reflection Questions

  1. What does it mean for me to 'descend the mountain' and apply God's commands in my everyday life, just as Moses did?
  2. How can I ensure that I am obeying God's laws from every angle, just like the tablets were inscribed on both sides?
  3. What are some ways that I can reverence and honor the law of God, just as Moses carefully carried the tablets down the mountain?
  4. In what ways can I, like Moses, be a mediator between God and others, sharing the love and commands of God with those around me?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 32:15

And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 32:15

Not on the inside and outside, which is unusual and unnecessary, but on the inside only, some of the ten commands being written on the right hand, and others on the left, not for any mystery, but only for conveniency of writing.

Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 32:15

Exodus 32:15 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony [were] in his hand: the tables [were] written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other [were] they written.Ver. 15. Written on both their sides.] See the like in other mystical books.

Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 32:15

THE DESCENT OF MOSES FROM SINAI, AND THE OF THE .(15) And Moses turned—i.e., “returned,” or “set out on his return,” apparently without making any communication to Joshua, who was waiting for him not far off (see Exodus 32:17). The two tables . . . were in his hand.—In Deuteronomy 9:15 we read that the two tables were in his “two hands,” which is more exact, and more as we should have expected. The tables were written on both their sides.—Babylonian tablets and Assyrian monoliths have usually writing on both sides, Egyptian monoliths rarely. It has been calculated that the 172 words of the Decalogue could easily have been inscribed in letters of a fair size on the four surfaces indicated, if the tablets were 27 inches long by 18 inches broad, and that two tablets of this size could readily have been conveyed in a man’s two hands (Keil).

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 32:15

Verse 15. The tables were written on both their sides] If we take this literally, it was certainly a very unusual thing; for in ancient times the two sides of the same substance were never written over. However, some rabbins suppose that by the writing on both sides is meant the letters were cut through the tables, so that they might be read on both sides, though on one side they would appear reversed. Supposing this to be correct, if the letters were the same with those called Hebrew now in common use, the ס samech, which occurs twice, and the final ם mem which occurs twenty-three times in the ten commandments, both of these being close letters, could not be cut through on both sides without falling out, unless, as some of the Jews have imagined, they were held in by miracle; but if this ancient character were the same with the Samaritan, this through cutting might have been quite practicable, as there is not one close letter in the whole Samaritan alphabet. On this transaction there are the three following opinions: 1. We may conceive the tables of stone to have been thin slabs or a kind of slate, and the writing on the back side to have been a continuation of that on the front, the first not being sufficient to contain the whole. 2. Or the writing on the back side was probably the precepts that accompanied the ten commandments; the latter were written by the Lord, the former by Moses; See Clarke on Exodus 34:1; and "Exodus 34:27". 3. Or the same words were written on both sides, so that when held up, two parties might read at the same time.

Cambridge Bible on Exodus 32:15

15–20. Moses’ return to the camp. His punishment of the people for their sin.

Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 32:15

15. Moses turned — After his intercession he turned away with an anxious heart, and went down from the mount to encounter in the camp of Israel a still deeper trial. On the two tables see note at Exodus 31:18.
