We have seen that God, is a jealous God and with this jealousy come anger from God. We have seen it in the flood story where He wanted to destroy humanity and regret that He had create such creatures, bu also we can see the mercy of God by letting Noah live and populate the earth again. In Exodus 33, we can see that God is angry with the people of Israel because they build a  golden calf. In his anger, God wanted to destroy them all and leave Moses and turn him into a great nation, very similar to the story of Noah.

Exodus 33:9-14  is the text where God is angry at Israel for building the golden calf. He wanted to destroy them, but Moses talks to him. This passage can be seen in two ways; the first interpretation can be that Moses intercedes for the people of Israel and that God listens to the crying of Moses for his people. This would be the interpretation that would me most likely correct. The other interpretation is my personal interpretation, to me it seems that God is out of control because of his anger and that Moses calm God, it almost seems that Moses is wiser than God, because Moses tells God “Why let the Egyptians say, ‘Their God rescued them with the evil intention of slaughtering them in the mountains and wiping them from the face of the earth?’ Turn away from your fierce anger. Change your mind about this terrible disaster you have threatened against your people.” (Exodus 33:12) At the end it seems to work for Moses in verse 14 it says “So the Lord changed his mind about the terrible disaster he had threatened to bring on his people. The most common sense answer is that God felt sorrow for his people and he gave them mercy for the intercession of Moses. The other interpretation seems very likely to happen as well, Moses changed God’s mind and calmed his anger, and did not permit God to make a disaster and look himself bad with Egypt.
