I have never seen this anywhere. Moshe knew about the sin of the Eigel while still on Har Sinai. If so, why does he come down with the Luchot. Did he come down with the intention to break them? I propose that he had no intention to break them, but he saw in actuality something different than what he was told about. Hashem had told him about the eigel; however, when he came down the pasuk says that he saw the eigel and mecholot. For Moshe, that was too much. The Bnei Yisrael as opposed to the Bnot Yisrael weren't able to do Mecholot at kriat yam suf and now for the eigel they are doing mecholot that was such degredation and depravity that he broke the luchot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
