Exodus 31-32

The Lord instructs us to observe the Sabbath beacuse it is a holy day and doing work on that day will result in death (but this is the old testament laws right?) Israelites were instructed to obey the Sabbath for generations to come.

So Chill out and Relax on Sunday and Rest =)

Moses went up to the mountain to get the tablet. the people he led did not know if he was coming back. Aaron gathered all the gold and made idols out of them for them to worship. They started worshiping the idols and made God angry. He was going to destroy them. Moses however pleaded on their behalf and asked Him to remember the servants he promised he will give numeours descendants. God relented and did not destroy the idol worshippers.

When Mosses himself saw the worshippers going amok, he too was very angry. He rallied his troops that were with the Lord and destroyed sent them out to kill those who were against the Lord. Mosses asked for forgiveness on behalf of the idol worshippers and God promised to be with him and his people as they go to the promise land.
