Moses pleaded with God to forgive the people of Israel. God said because Moses was the one asking, He would listen. Because God and Moses were friends, He would remember His promises to the people.
Moses was best frineds with God. He asked God, "Show me Your ways." God told him that he would die if God let him see and learn everything there is to know about God. It would be too much.

After the forty days were over, Moses climbed down the cliffs. He came back to the camp the people had kept their promise they had waited for him to return. They had been good.
