Why Moses did break the tablets of stone? - Part 3

 If the almighty commended Moses to break the tablets, there is a big question that arise- why The Lord waited that Moses will go down from the mountain of Sinai
And then he told him to break them?

 Another story that is very common is the fight between Moses and the 70 old people from Israel on the breaking of the tablets. Moses held the tablets from the first side and all the 70 held it from the other side.

It seems to be that Moses is in between - the words of The Lord and the people of Israel. The common answer to those questions is that Moses broke the tablets and then God gave him the permeation. If this theory is correct we have more evidence in the court that asks why Moses didn't enter to the promise land- he did another thing by his thoughts and that's the breaking of tablets!

As for me - I think that the breaking is a sign of rebellion - Moses didn't understand why God decided to concede the people of Israel - so he decided to break the rules - in all of the meanings, really and with the use of the metaphor of the song of Pink Floyd- breaking the walls.....
