is there a story about a man and a woman being stone in the book of Exodus?

In some translations of the bible Exodus 15:16 describes people being turned to stone. In other translations the stillness that God causes is more figurative than literal. You can go here and judge for yourself.\nhttp://bible.cc/exodus/15-16.htm

Moses a told to do many thing with his staff. To me the most important was to strike the stone in order to get water from the stone for the people. Trouble is next time he was commanded to speak to the stone but he struck it anyway. It was to be a picture of Christ. First he was struck, then if we asked he would give us living water.. Moses messed it up... Oh well in God's grace He gave the people water anyway... He is such a GOOD GOD!!!   Jim

None. Moses was the custodian of another type of Ark.The Ark of God. Not the Ark which Noah Built in which he put two of every kind of animal.\n\nGood Try if that was to fool me.\nBettel Luck next time.

I am surprised by the amount of Christians that answered this question that apparently have not read their bible.  Yes it does say that in the bible, in the old testament in the laws that God gave to Moses.  Although it does give different scenarios like if the woman is raped inside the city she should be stoned to death because she should call out for help before it happens but if she is outside the city where there is no one to call for help, then she has committed no sin and should not be put to death.\n\nNo wonder people don't want to convert to Christianity when supposed Christians answer this way and apparently have not read what they claim to preach.

It was Moses.  In the OT, he was called by the Spirit of God to climb Mt. Sinai.  After Moses saw the burning bush, he asked God if he could see Him.  God said "No, you'd die if you looked directly at me" (I'm paraphrasing, of course).  So God told Moses to go to a cleft in the rock and hide his face and God would pass by.  That was all Moses could handle (as a human being).

The following is the text of the commonly accepted (by Christian and Jewish authorities) commandments as found in the book of Exodus:\n\n    "God spoke all these words, saying: I am God your Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, from the place of slavery. Do not have any other gods before Me. Do not represent [such] gods by any carved statue or picture of anything in the heaven above, on the earth below, or in the water below the land. Do not bow down to [such gods] or worship them. I am God your Lord, a God who demands exclusive worship. Where My enemies are concerned, I keep in mind the sin of the fathers for [their] descendants, to the third and fourth [generation]. But for those who love Me and keep My commandments, I show love for thousands [of generations]. Do not take the name of God your Lord in vain. God will not allow the one who takes His name in vain to go unpunished. Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy. You can work during the six weekdays and do all your tasks. But the seventh day is a Sabbath to God your Lord. Do not do anything that constitutes work. [This includes] you, your son, your daughter, your slave, your maid, your animal, and the foreigner in your gates. It was during the six weekdays that God made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. God therefore blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Honor your father and mother. You will then live long on the land that God your Lord is giving you. Do not commit murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not testify as a false witness against your neighbor. Do not be envious of your neighbor's house. Do not be envious of your neighbor's wife, his slave, his maid, his ox, his donkey, or anything else that is your neighbor's." (Exodus 20)\n\nHere's a basic listing:\n\n1. You shall not worship any other god but me.\n\n2. You shall not make a graven image.\n\n3. You shall not take the name of God in vain.\n\n4. You shall not break the Sabbath.\n\n5. You shall not dishonor your parents.\n\n6. You shall not murder.\n\n7. You shall not commit adultery\n\n8. You shall not steal.\n\n9. You shall not commit perjury.\n\n10. You shall not covet.

They were engaged, which back then was considered being practically married.  Had he accused her of being pregnant and not by him, the logical conclusion the elders would have taken is that she had fornicated and would have been stoned to death per Jewish law based on the Law given to Moses.\n\nIt is not clear where he would have sent her, since it would have to have been away from any jewish settlement where there wouldn't be a chance of her being tried and put to death.

Salt is considered white gold; something valuable and important\nSalt is necessary for survival.\nJesus reminded his deciples that they should be precious to the world, as salt is to life, and not to lose their saltiness as when diluted in water.\n\nLots wife turned to a "pillar of salt": This idiom is used to make a strong statement for the lesson to be learned. A pillar of salt will be remembered better than a pillar of stone. An emphasis is put on the moral of the story by referring to it as salt.\nIn real, she might have gotten burned to charcoal or her salty body fluids may have oozed out of the skin. Since such literal descriptions are usually not used in the Bible, the happening was depicted as a pillar of salt.

It was more symbolic to the fact that while Moses was up on the Mt. the Israelites were breaking every commandment  that God had set for them to obey. Moses chose to destroy the Ten Commandments because the Israelites had once again defiled the covenant they had established with God and this upset Moses and also hurt God to see his people sin. However, God did later make a second identical set of the Ten Commandments for the Children of Israel to carry with them in the Ark of the Covenant.\n\n-In response to Julie B's comment about God punishing Moses... he kept Moses out of the Promise Land because he struck the rock twice when the Israelites needed water and God provided it from a rock to show them his power and their need for dependecny on him, but Moses tried to take credit for the work which God did. God looked upon his heart and examined his intentions for striking the rock twice when God only wanted him to strike it once. It was another occassion entirely.

Well, Elijah defeating the priests of Baal was a pretty cool story- After building an alter and putting the meat on it, the priests danced and chanted and sang- even cut themselves to try to get Baal to send fire down to burn the offering.... Then Elijah built his alter, put the meat on it, dug a trench around the alter. He dumped water all over the whole thing, filling the trench with water too. He prayed, and Jehovah sent fire down. His fire consumed the meat, the wood, the rocks, the dust, and the water in the trench. Sucks for the priests of Baal, and one point for Jehovah!\n\nI also like Noah's story, too.\n\nMy favorite story... but there's so many good ones to choose from!\n\nI think my favorite is Ammon and King Lamoni... First thing, Ammon asks to be a servant. Then he goes way above and beyond the call of duty- with the sword, and the arms- wow! Then Lamoni calls him in, asks him where he got such power... Then, after he has Lamoni's trust, Ammon starts teaching- "Do you believe in God?"\n"What is God?"\n"Do you believe in a Great Spirit?"\n"Sure"\n"This Great Spirit is God....." Great stuff!!!!

Moses did indeed sin against the Lord by getting angry at the Children of Israel and striking the Rock! his sin was covered by the blood of the sacrifice but he still suffered the consequences of his sin just like we do. If we rob a bank and then confess the crime to God He will forgive us but we still have to pay the price in a court of law. moses was unable to go into the land because he disobeyed God but his sins were covered by the blood and is in heaven today.

Does this mean that the first man in the holy book was the bastard son of a goddess? Who got her pregnant. I like this story. Was it one of the other Gods?

It is clear you are trying to say Joshua could have helped Moses carved those stones, like i normally say, you are entitled to what you think, but i do know the bible says the writings on those stones, were written with the finger of God. Exodus.31:18\n\n"And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God."

Never quite heard it told that way, but what you may be interested in is the omitted biblical book of enoch.  This banned book from both the bible and the torah explains the reason for the flood and is so out there you can almost understand why it was banned.

That reminds me of a story about a rock...well, a stone.  The prostitute was about to get stoned to death. Jesus grabbed the biggest stone from one of the masses, and stated -- "Let he among you with no sin cast the first stone!"\n\nThis lil old lady walks up to him, grabs the stone, and smashes the prostitute right in the head. Jesus throws His Hands into the air, "Jeeze, I hate when you do that Mom!"\n\nI guess in that scenerio, the answer would be "yes" as to if God could make a rock so big that he can't lift it?
