DISCOURSE: 113JEHOVAH A JEALOUS GODExodus 34:14. The Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.PRACTICAL religion is altogether founded on the character of God.

Exodus 34:1. I will write upon these tables. Deuteronomy 10:4. The Lord wrote on these tables according to the first writing. In the last clause of Exodus 34:28, the pronoun he refers, not to Moses, but to the Lord, who wrote on the two tables while Moses was commanded to write the words of the covenant in a book.
