Exodus 1925. "Who Is on the Lords side?,
Only forty days had elapsed since God had
uttered with His own voice the whole Of rEe
ten commandments; only forty DAYS since the
children Of Israel had said, "AlI the words
which the Lord hath said will we do" only
forty days since they had shrunk back from
the mount all ablaze with tie radiance of
