[net.religion.jewish] 40 days and 40 nights

azriel@homxb.UUCP (A.HEUMAN) (02/26/85)

At the end of Parshat Mishpatim (Exodus 24), Moses begins the fourty days
and fourty nights together with G-d on Mt. Sinai. In Parshat Ki Tisa (Ex. 32)
the fourty days and fourty nights end. What topics do the Torah explicitly
describe as having been discussed during this 40 day encounter?
	- the collecting of donations to build the temple
	- the ark specifications
	- the table specifications
	- the lighting specifications
	.
	.
	.
	- the insence specifications
	- the designation of a supervisor
	- the working hours specifications.
I tell you, even in those days it wasn't easy to contract someone 
    to build your house in Israel.
