Deuteronomy 9:19
"I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger."
Key Reflection
Moses describes his intense intercession for the Israelites after they made the golden calf, enduring forty days and nights without food or water in prayer. This act of fasting and praying was a powerful demonstration of Moses' commitment to the Lord and his deep concern for the people's sin, highlighting the gravity with which God viewed their idolatry as a provocation against Him.
