God didn't choose to speak out loud and have that one on one conversation to them. He chose to with Moses.

The account is found at Numbers 20:1-13; Deuteronomy  32:50-52; and enlarged upon at Psalms 106:32, 33.\n\nWhile Israel was encamped at Kadesh, Moses made a serious mistake. Moses not only was in a highly privileged position but also was under weighty responsibility to God as leader and mediator for the nation. Because of a water shortage the people began to argue with Moses, blaming him for leading them out of Egypt into the barren wilderness. Moses had endured much, putting up with their perverseness and insubordination, their constant bickering and complaining, their repeated displays of a lack of faith.  He also had been sharing their hardships, and interceding on their behalf when they sinned, but for one moment, he lost his meekness and mildness of temper.  Exasperated, Moses and Aaron stood before the people as Jehovah commanded.  But instead of calling attention to God as the Provider, they spoke harshly to the people and directed attention to themselves, Moses saying: “Hear, now, you rebels! Is it from this crag that WE shall bring out water for you?” With that, he struck the rock and God caused water to flow.  But God was greatly displeased with the conduct of Moses and Aaron. They had failed of their primary responsibility, namely, to magnify God’s name.

Moses may have been hallucinating from lack of water and food up on the mountain when he chisled out the ten commandments and "Talked with God". People in those sorts of states very often don't make much sense...

because they worship words, books not God. I think this essene text as said by Christ himself sums it up best\n\n"Seek not the law in your scriptures, for the law is life, whereas the scripture is dead. I tell you truly, Moses received not his laws from God in writing, but through the living word. The law is living word of living God to living prophets for living men. In everything that is life is the law written. You find it in the grass, in the tree, in the river, in the mountain, in the birds of heaven, in the fishes of the sea; but seek it chiefly in yourselves. For I tell you truly, all living things are nearer to God than the scripture which is without life. God so made life and all living things that they might by the everlasting word teach the laws of the true God to man. God wrote not the laws in the pages of books, but in your heart and in your spirit. They are in your breath, your blood, your bone; in your flesh, your bowels, your eyes, your ears, and in every little part of your body. They are present in the air, in the water, in the earth, in the plants, in the sunbeams, in the depths and in the heights. They all speak to you that you may understand the tongue and the will of the living God. But you shut your eyes that you may not see, and you shut your ears that you may not hear. I tell you truly, that the scripture is the work of man, but life and all its hosts are the work of our God. Wherefore do you not listen to the words of God which are written in His works? And wherefore do you study the dead scriptures which are the work of the hands of men?"

First thing comes to mind is "The entire village of Sodom & Gommorah", !#2 The followers of God , as he led them out of egypt.  We complain so much to god that we are in  in such bondage, hard life ...work, work ,work ! When God sends moses to lead the israelites out of slavery, its still not enough ! We are ungrateful people, just like they were ! too bad , I often wonder why God still puts up with us ! { but im sure glad He does !}Sometimes I feel like Job, but would I have that much faith after losing everthing ? Id like to think so !

Exodus 34:1 says God told Moses He would do it. But Exodus 34:28 says God told Moses to do it and he did.

I think it is awesome. To think that he was raised in the palace, and left it to find his heritage. It is full of so much. I wonder, did he start out full of pride, all the paganism that he grew up with, the humbling that he went through, the stripping away of all that he had learned as a child destroyed, and he was made anew, and was one of the most humble of all men that lived.\n  Think about it! He talked with God, He saw Gods glory pass in front of him...That should give anyone hope, with all that Moses did before, even murder, and He had A glorious walk with God.

YHWH is know as the Tetagramaton. When Moses asked God his name, as mentioned in this forum, God said "I am, what I am". This response is an idiom of vagueness. In ancient times, if a person or god knew the divine name of another god, that person or god would have power over that god. During the time of Moses, Jews were not pure monotheists but were henotheists. What God is saying to Moses is: You can not know my name, You can not have power over me, I do not give up my power over you. I read the link cited with the question, and much of it is true.

Since the bible was inspired by God, and it says so in many places including the ones mentioned above, then it must be God's word.  He would not inspire the bible writers to write someone elses words.

Moses didn't take animals on the ark.  It was Noah.

Well, God did once talk to Moses through a bush------

This is a point I try to drive home in Christians all the time.  Abraham, Moses, Ezekiel, and the like supposedly talked directly to God.  Did these men have faith?  No.  They had proof.  But they told everybody else to have faith.  Why?  Well, I think it's rather obvious.  Who the hell would believe them otherwise?\n\nAnd this is the problem with Christian "faith".  Christians say "God tells us to have faith".  Did God tell you to have faith, or did a man tell you to have faith?  A MAN TOLD YOU TO HAVE FAITH!  To be specific, a con-man told you to have faith.  Unless God has appeared before you and told you "Have faith in me", then you are placing your faith in the words of a man.\n\nLet me say that one more time, for those that skipped over it.  Unless God appeared before you and told you, "Have faith in me", then you are placing your faith in the words of a MAN.\n\nWake up.  Think logically.  Be rational.  Apply the same amount of scrutiny to your religion as you would to anything else in life.  No one ever does this, because they've been told all their lives that religion is the truth, and to doubt that is a sin.\n\nDo you not see that this is an elegantly designed snow job?!  This is how religion has survived all this time.  It is designed, from bottom to top, to keep its followers blind!  Open your eyes.  You're smarter than this!\n\nEdit - For those saying these men were prophets... who told you they were prophets?  THEY DID!!!!!! AGHHHHH!!!

No. God never said anything. Existence is required for speech to become an option.

1. What scripture verse was translated incorrectly (What did the incorrect verse say)\n\nHERE IS THE WHOLE STORY, FOR THOSE WHO MAY NOT KNOW:::\n\n          Exodus 34:28-35  28 And he was there with the \n          Etrnl forty days and forty nights; he did \n          neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote \n          upon the tables the words of the covenant, the \n          ten commandments. 29  And it came to pass, when \n          Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two \n          tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came \n          down from the mount, that Moses wist not that \n          the skin of his face shone while he talked with  \n          him.  כי קרן עור פניו בדברו אתו׃\n          30  And when Aaron and all the children of \n          Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face \n          shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him. \n          31  And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and \n          all the rulers of the congregation returned unto \n          him: and Moses talked with them. 32  And \n          afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: \n          and he gave them in commandment all that the \n          Etrnl had spoken with him in mount Sinai. 33  \n          And till Moses had done speaking with them, he \n          put a vail on his face. 34  But when Moses went \n          in before the Etrnl to speak with him, he took \n          the vail off, until he came out. And he came \n          out, and spake unto the children of Israel that \n          which he was commanded. 35  And the children of \n          Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of \n          Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon \n          his face again, until he went in to speak with\n          him. \n\nThe verse incorrectly translated is, of course, Exodus 34:29 above, and i have supplied the Hebrew. The word mistranslated is the word, 'KEREN,' meaning 'beam,' like a beam of light. Unfortunately, the word also means horn, as in a 'horn of plenty.'\n\n2. and what is the correct translation?\n\nMay own translation:::\n\nExo 34:29 ויהי ברדת משׁה מהר סיני ושׁני לחת העדת ביד־משׁה ברדתו מן־ההר ומשׁה לא־ידע כי קרן עור פניו בדברו אתו׃\n\nAnd when Moses came down from the Mountain of Sinai, with the two tablets of the testimony in the hand of Moses, when he came down from the Mountain, and Moses did not know that beams of light (keren or) shone from his face when he spoke with Him.\n\nAdditional information:: When i was a kid, i actually had Christians come up to me, asking me where my horns were? Their ministers and their families had taught them that the Jews actually had horns, based on the New Testament quotation, when Jesus calls The Jews children of Satan!!!!

Moses was the "channel" that God used to give the code of Commandments to the Jews... These Commandments were the basis to be used for their daily life's actions.  Amos, Jeremiah and Ezekiel were chosen prophets that God used to be the "human voice" of God's reaction to the race's behavior... in times for a need for improvement and better blessings... or to improve a divergent way of life...
