Finishing up with the Book of Exodus to me is really about building the church and all that goes into the physical building as well as furnishing right down to the vestments that the 'priest' wears even to this day. All of this is down for to the Glory of The Lord. The other part before the building was Moses coming down and seeing 'the Golden Calf' his people have made for he was gone so long and the punishment they all received till finally seeing the wrong they did and now really see the Glory of the Lord. Pray.

Exodus 5
The Book of Exodus could be used by counselors and social workers to use in issues dealing with protection of property as well as teaching social responsibility. In the social responsibility area, it could teach how to be socially diverse and competent with other cultures as well as dealing with dealing with your neighbors to try and solve various troubles. In dealing with property if one does wrong there must be some form of retribution shown and given some way. Justice will be upheld and hopefully today mercy will also be shown to whomever needs. Let my people go now.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Lingua ex machina
Peter Ayolov, Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" Abstract This article examines the claim that language is not merely a product of human nature and evolutionary adaptation, but a force that, once constituted, begins to shape humans in its own image. Drawing on Elan Barenholtz’s Substack essay ‘Syntax is Dead! Long Live Syntax!’ and the University of Toronto discussion ‘The (Terrifying) Theory That Your Thoughts Were Never Your Own’, the text argues that language initially emerged as an adaptive coordination system but gradually detached from its biological origins through external memory technologies such as writing, print, audio, and video. With the advent of large language models, this autonomy becomes visible for the first time. Syntax appears not as an innate causal engine but as an emergent statistical shadow of predictive systems. Language, understood as an autogenerative informational system, now operates as a cultural and cognitive environment that produces meaning, belief, identity, and even metaphysical concepts such as God. In this sense, language does not reflect reality so much as organise it, creating human subjects through symbolic structures that precede intention and awareness.

A beautiful historical story. Moses had a lot to put up with. How dare they make a Golden Calf, I am glad they came to finally see the wrong they did, through the punishment they received; not overshadowing the love God still had for them. Beautifully written Mark.
I remember vividly how angry Moses was that the people had been rescued from Pharoah's clutches only to succumb to worshipping a golden calf. Isn't that when he broke the tablets in anger? Was it then God punished Moses or in his younger years - I don't remember. Even prophets were human by design, disappointing God, too sometimes.
