Exodus 34:4 “And he hewed two tablets of stone like unto the
first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up onto mount Sinai, as
the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tablets of stone.”

The “Moses on the Mount” sculpture is much like the “Leap of
Faith” sculpture with some differences. In this version Moses carries a very
large staff. Staffs used for safety and stability, but also as symbols of
authority. Remember that Moses used a staff before Pharaoh and it turned into a
snake, to testify to his authority from God. Moses’ face is steadfast, moving
forward to deliver his revelations from God to his chosen people. Moses is
heroic in his position triumphantly moving along the holy Mount Sinai.
