Answers:
Deuteronomy 9: Moses warned them not to become prideful and take credit for conquering the enemy, when it is and will always be God that does that for them – not because they deserve it.
Moses went up on the mountaintop to receive the Law (10 commandments) and he was there for 40 days – fasting. (Exodus 24:18) Moses returned to the camp to find the Israelites in revelry worshiping a golden calf, so he broke the tablets. He then went up on the mountain again to intercede for the Israelites so God would spare them.
Deuteronomy 10: This was the second time Moses spent 40 days fasting on behalf of the Israelites. (Exodus 34:1-2) . He received another set of tablets containing the ten commandments which he placed in an ark when he came down the mountain. They are commanded to love God and 19 Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.”
Proverbs 31: We are to defend the rights of the mute, the destitute, the poor and the needy. “Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute.[c] 9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy. (v. 8-9)
Luke 15: The son receives a heartfelt embrace and kiss which represents acceptance and forgiveness, then he receives the best robe, a ring and shoes, then he received a feast in his honor. I believe the acceptance and forgiveness were what mattered most to him – something he never expected.
