The Anger of Moses—The breaking of the tables of stone was but a representation of the fact that Israel had broken the covenant which they had so recently made with God. It is a righteous indignation against sin, which springs from zeal for the glory of God, not that anger prompted by self-love or wounded ambition, which is referred to in the scripture “Be ye angry, and sin not.” Such was the anger of Moses.—The Review and Herald, February 18, 1890. (Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 101.) {2MCP 517.1}

Moses’ vrede — Knusningen af stentavlerne var kun illustration af det faktum at Israel havde brudt pagten som de for nylig havde indgået med Gud. Det var en retfærdig harme mod synd, som kommer af tjenstiver til Guds herlighed, denne vrede er ikke drevet af egenkærlighed eller såret ærgerrighed, som der er henvist til i skriften, »Bliver I vrede, da synd ikke.« Sådan var Moses´ vrede.— The Review and Herald, 18. februar, 1890. (Vidnesbyrd for prædikanter, 101.)
