As I stated before I don't know the bible. When did Moses see the back of God ? Was it when he was given the ten commandments, or when he came down from the mountain after receiving them, and the people were worshipping a golden calf?

It was after Moses came down from Mt. Sinai (aka Mt. Horeb)with the Ten Commandments, and he went back up to renegotiate for the Jewish people. Prior to that meeting, God had been known as El Shaddiah, God of the Jewish People. After that meeting, or rather I should say at that meeting, God made himself known to Moses as YHVH, God of the world. Why this is so significant is that it shows the "love" of God for his creation. Hebrew interpretation is basically saying, God told Moses, the world had not known him, but after that day, Moses would know him. The term "know", in Hebrew, had only been used one other time previously in the Torah in that manner. Where Adam "knew" his wife Eve. Now I'm saying God would know Moses sexually, of course not, but in a very deep, almost mystical and personal. Gosh, I love the story of Moses so much... Actually the entire Pentateuch! Can you tell? lol I could go on for hours about it. But don't worry. I won't. LOL
