This week Moses’ relationship with his girlfriend G*d settles in to become downright domestic. After the golden calf unpleasantness She virtually disowns the Hebrews. But then, because Moses has her number, she relents and agrees not only to let the Hebrews live but also to accompany them to Canaan. Finally, as an extra treat just for Moses, she displays the divine backside.
If we ever needed proof that G-d plays favorites with nations and individuals, that she’s NOT the god of everybody, this is the parsha.
