Renewal on God's Terms

Commentators explain that Moses' second ascent to Sinai was for the formal re-establishment of the covenant after the golden calf sin. God, in His grace, initiated this renewal, but He insisted that it be founded upon His unchanging moral law, which had to be delivered afresh. This shows that a relationship with God is always based on His holy standards.
