The Golden Calf & the Ten Commandments - Exodus Explained

Thanks so much to my friend Duc de Vinny for helping me with character design. He's a better artist than me, so check out his twitter and instagram:

Portraying Moses's sojourn as a road trip with 1 dad & 30, 000+ complaining kids was genius

[TheRogueCommand]

The story of Moses, the original "I WAS GONE FIVE MINUTES"

[jrr]

Next episode:

The Israelites :Are we there yet?
Moses:No.
The Israelites :Are we there yet?!
Moses:No!
The Israelites :Are we there yet?!
Moses:No!!!

40 years later!

The Israelites :Are we there yet?
Moses:No.
The Israelites :Are we there yet?
Moses:Yes, but I won't be. Here you go Joshua, their your responsibility now.
Joshua: What?!

I love how realistically pissed Moses gets

[JakeDoubleyoo]

I would now like to apologize to any of my neighbors who heard me screaming the ten commandments at the top of my lungs a couple weeks ago.

I work in IT and I've never related to someone as much as I relate to Moses in this video. Half my work is repeating the same things to people again and again all the while being exasperated by them.

[bluediamondtheleprechaun]

I feel so bad for moses ngl all throughout exodus to deuteronomy everyone was so annoying to him

[romulusnuma]

You've made Moses such an interesting character who I had never considered before

[LucasBenderChannel]

You're noticeably getting better and better with each video, Jake. Superficially, this might still be the same "style" as your first Greek mythology video, but you've come so far since then! I'm seriously impressed by the creative choices in every new upload. God blasting his commandments down from the mountain had me laughing out loud 😆

[philipstuckey]

"Mark my words verbatim, what follows shall be the sacred law of your people, if you obey my voice and keep my covenant you will be my treasure among all the peoples of the world, a kingdome of priests and a holy nation.... We shall begin with property law"

Holy shot that got me🤣

[RobertGrif]

Fun Bible fact: When St. Jerome was translating the part about Moses's face glowing, he saw that the Hebrew word used, qaran, is based on a Hebrew root meaning "horn". So, he chose to translate the word into Latin as corunta, which literally means "horned" but at the time could also mean "glorified". Over time, this context was lost, so we have lots of medieval art showing Moses with horns on his head 😅

[Yuric_INC.]

Hell yeah it's Hur! The best character in the whole series!

[ampisbadatthis]

I was always told that the desert was chosen because "its the best way to build resolve and trust, they would have to rely on each other to secure food and water" but no, the literally had food magically appear 6 days a week and water whenever they need it

[JPK]

There is a scene in a children-friendly version of this where after Moses strikes the rock for water, a little girl starts striking another rock saying, “I prefer some milk.”

[SorFig]

I grew up Anglican and read/heard the passage about God announcing the commandments. Now I have the perfect representation to go along with it.

Moses: "Can't you all just not be yoursevles.... FOR FIVE MINUTES"

[atravelingandy]

You wouldn't BELIEVE how hard it is to follow simple instructions.

[KarmasAB]

"You're all on thin ice!"

"What's ice, LORD?"

[SoCal_Absol]

I commented something similar on your previous Exodus video but it bears repeating. You have gotten Moses more accurately than most modern media according to Orthodox Jewish belief. The level of frustration Moses felt at every complaint is so freaking accurate!!!

Thank you so much for these!

Moses: ok everyone. Don't pray to false gods like the Egyptians we just escaped from

People: ok Moses we won't

Moses:(turns around)

People: all hail the gold cow statue

Moses:(deep sigh) DEAR GOD WHY?

god: because Moses. Because
