What did the Israelites do instead of trusting and obeying God? (Exodus 32:1-5)

How does Moses act as a priest for Israel after their disobedience? (Exodus 32:30-32)

• He creates new laws for them

• He sacrifices animals for them

• He pleads to God on their behalf, asking for forgiveness

• He rebukes them harshly and leaves them

How do Moses’ actions in Exodus 32 point to Jesus?

• Moses was the last high priest, and Jesus continued his work

• Moses wanted to be king, but Jesus fulfilled that role instead

• Moses interceded for the Israelites, just as Jesus intercedes for all people by offering His life
