This window is centered on the
image of Moses holding the ten command-
ments. The Ten
Commandments were written in Hebrew in the book of exodus (Exodus 34: 27-35)
and reads as follows: Then the Lord said to Moses, "Write down these
words, for in accordance with them I have made a covenant with you and with
Israel." So Moses stayed there (Mount Sinai) with the Lord for forty days
and forty nights, without eating any food or drinking any water, and he wrote
on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments. As Moses came
down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the commandments in his hands, he
did not know that the skin of his face had become radiant while he conversed with
the Lord. The ten
commandments were the covenant obligations to a way of life that God had
enjoined on the Israelites through Moses, with the promise on His part to make
the Israelites his special-chosen people among all the people of the
earth. God chose Moses as his most
humble servant to reveal himself to the Hebrew people and us, in order that we
may come to know Him and how to live in His Love as His children.
