Commentary on Exodus 32:11
Moses' intercession begins וַיְחַל מֹשֶׁה (vay'chal Moshe, Moses besought/entreated urgently), using a word meaning to appease or seek favor earnestly. Moses' argument appeals to three grounds: (1) covenant relationship ('Your people'), (2) God's mighty works ('which You brought forth...with great power'), and (3) God's reputation before pagans. Moses reverses God's 'your people' (v7) back to עַמְּךָ (amcha, Your people), insisting on God's ownership. The rhetorical question לָמָּה (lamah, why?) challenges God's proposed action based on His own character and purposes.
