“Yet you have dealt
With us!
O Lord!
Our God!
In all your kindness!
In all your great compassion!
You spoke
By your servant Moses
On the day
When you commanded him
To write
Your law
In the presence
Of the people
Of Israel.”
Baruch pointed out that God was kind and compassionate. God had spoken with Moses when he gave the commandments to his people. Baruch seemed to imply that Moses wrote the commandments in the presence of all the people with a vague reference to Leviticus, chapter 26, and Deuteronomy, chapters 27-28.
