Having left leadership responsibilities to Aaron and Hur, Moses went up into the storm to meet with God at the top of Mount Sinai and spent 40 days getting instructions about the Law. Despite miraculously rescuing Israel a few months earlier, the people grow restless and don’t know, or care, if Moses died travelling up the mountain as an old man or was overcome by fire and smoke, so they pressure Aaron to make idols. Unlike Moses who waited to hear from God, Israel would not wait to hear from God or Moses. Leadership can be a lonely and thankless calling (Heb. 13:17).
