The children of Israel had told Moses all that the Lord says we will do. Moses left them and went up the mountain to hear from God. He delayed in coming back that was all it took for them to go back to Egypt in their hearts. What would it take to cause us to go back? They proved that their works could never save them. Ours is no better, they won't save us either.
Moses brought back with him the law and the blue print for the Tabernacle. A picture of things to come. Jesus would die and shed his blood for the sins of the world. Jesus answer is to look to the blood.
Their works of righteousness had failed them. One hand Moses held the law-death in the other hand a picture of the Tabernacle and Jesus blood being shed on the cross-life. We come as a beggar deserving hell's wrath and ask for mercy.
Romans 4;5 but to him that works not, but believes he is justifier of the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
