Hello. Did Jehovah or Jesus give Moses the Ten Commandments? Thx
— Guest UserHello. Thank you for your question.
According to Exodus 24:12 It was Jehovah who gave the tablets to Moses.
Exodus 24:12 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them."
However, some may think that Moses was given the tablets by Jehovah but through an angel. The same reason used when the Israelites went out of Egypt, Jehovah said he would lead them out. However, it was the angel of the Lord that did the actual leading (by Jehovah's command).
1 Corinthians 10:1-4
1 "Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;"
2 "And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;"
3 "And did all eat the same spiritual meat;"
4 "And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ."
So who did Moses see at the mount? Was it Jehovah or Christ, or another angel?
John 1:18
"No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."
And yet, Moses was shown the hinder parts of God...
Exodus 33:20-23
20 "And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live."
21 "And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:"
22 "And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:"
23 "And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen."
My answer to your question is that it was Jehovah who gave the tablets to Moses because of Exodus 24:12. I cannot say for sure how he did it. I would not rule out that Jesus (or Michael the archangel) was present.
I am curious as to what your thought is on this subject.
Thanks.
