Moses returns from Mount Sinai with new tablets, after experiencing God's glory and receiving commandments for the Israelites. He places a veil over his face, only removing it to speak with God and relay His messages, leaving the people in awe of the divine glow that radiates from him. Will the Israelites follow the renewed covenant, or will they stray once again in Moses' absence?

Jesus challenges the Pharisees and scribes, teaching that purity comes from the heart, not just external rituals. His message extends beyond the traditions, emphasizing inner morality over mere outward observance. Will this profound teaching change the hearts of his listeners, or will it deepen the divide between him and the religious leaders?
