Miracle Veil Magic is an intriguing concept that has captivated people's imaginations for centuries. It refers to the belief in a supernatural veil or barrier that separates and protects the earthly realm from the spiritual realm. The idea of a Miracle Veil suggests that there is an unseen force that shields us from the full extent of supernatural phenomena, such as ghosts, demons, or spirits. Many cultures and religions have their own interpretations of the Miracle Veil Magic. In some belief systems, the veil is viewed as a protective barrier created by divine forces, guarding humanity from harm. In others, it is seen as a boundary that prevents human beings from accessing the knowledge or power of the spiritual realm.

What sort of pagan revelry did the Israelites indulge in (Exodus 32:6)?

In Exodus 32 Moses returns from talking with the Lord on the mountain and finds that the Israelites have turned to sinful actions. Verse 6 says, “The people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings. Afterward they sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.” What exactly was this “revelry” that followed the Israelites’ feast?

The context helps identify the main actions that offended the Lord. First, verse 4 notes that the people gave offerings to a golden calf. They had already broken the first of the Ten Commandments before Moses had even returned to them! And verse 6 mentions that feasting and drinking were part of the festivities.

Second, Moses had identified the noise emanating from the camp as “the sound of singing” (Exodus 32:18). In their pagan revelries, the people of Israel were singing songs of adoration to the golden calf. In the not-so-distant past, they had been singing praise to the Lord after He led them safely through the Red Sea (Exodus 15). Now their tune had changed.

Third, the people of Israel danced as part of their celebration of the golden calf. Verse 19 says, “When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger burned and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces at the foot of the mountain.” Dancing per se is not noted as wrong, but dancing in celebration of an idol made Moses (and God) angry.

Fourth, there was an unrestrained attitude of partying around the golden calf. Verse 25 presents the shameful truth: “The people were running wild . . . Aaron had let them get out of control and so [they became] a laughingstock to their enemies.” Details of their behavior are not given, but their actions were unruly, uncivilized, and ungodly.

In turning to a graven image, the people had turned away from the Lord (see Deuteronomy 9:16). Even though the golden calf had been billed as the god they had been following all along (Exodus 32:4), the True God cannot be reduced to imagery. The Lord will not share His glory with another (Isaiah 42:8). That is why God judged the people of Israel at the foot of Mount Sinai.

In Exodus 32:6, what was the nature of the pagan revelry of the Israelites?

I forgot now, but here it is from the NIV (New International Version): 6 So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings. Afterward they sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.

In others, it is seen as a boundary that prevents human beings from accessing the knowledge or power of the spiritual realm. The concept of Miracle Veil Magic often intertwines with the notion of magic itself. Magic is believed to be the manipulation of supernatural forces to bring about desired outcomes.

According to both Jewish and Christian sources, they committed idolatry.

1 Corinthians 10:7

And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” NKJV, 1982

And on the day following, they arose, and sacrificed burnt-offerings; and the people sat around to eat and to drink, and rose up to disport themselves with strange service.

ואקדימו מיומא חרא ואסיקו עלוון וקריבו ניכסין ואסחר עמא למיכול ולמישתי וקמו להון למגחכא בפולחנא נוכריא

References

A closer translation of בפולחנא נוכריא would be "foreign rituals" rather than "strange service". בפולחנא נוכריא or עבודה זרה in Hebrew is a euphemism for idolatry in general. The use of "strange" here could mislead if misunderstood as "weird" rather than as "other" or "foreign" as in "Howdy stranger".

From classic.net.bible.org I find this: Exodus 32:6 NET © So they got up early on the next day and offered up burnt offerings and brought peace offerings, and the people sat down to eatemphasized text and drink, 1 and they rose up to play. 2

1 tn The second infinitive is an infinitive absolute. The first is an infinitive construct with a lamed (ל) preposition, expressing the purpose of their sitting down. The infinitive absolute that follows cannot take the preposition, but with the conjunction follows the force of the form before it (see GKC 340 §113.e). 2 tn The form is לְצַחֵק (lÿtsakheq), a Piel infinitive construct, giving the purpose of their rising up after the festal meal. On the surface it would seem that with the festival there would be singing and dancing, so that the people were celebrating even though they did not know the reason. W. C. Kaiser says the word means “drunken immoral orgies and sexual play” (“Exodus,” EBC 2:478). That is quite an assumption for this word, but is reflected in some recent English versions (e.g., NCV “got up and sinned sexually”; TEV “an orgy of drinking and sex”). The word means “to play, trifle.” It can have other meanings, depending on its contexts. It is used of Lot when he warned his sons-in-law and appeared as one who “mocked” them; it is also used of Ishmael “playing” with Isaac, which Paul interprets as mocking; it is used of Isaac “playing” with his wife in a manner that revealed to Abimelech that they were not brother and sister, and it is used by Potiphar’s wife to say that her husband brought this slave Joseph in to “mock” them. The most that can be gathered from these is that it is playful teasing, serious mocking, or playful caresses. It might fit with wild orgies, but there is no indication of that in this passage, and the word does not mean it. The fact that they were festive and playing before an idol was sufficient.

What sort of "revelry" did they indulge in? (Exodus 32:6)

What sort of "revelry" did they indulge in? (Exodus 32:6) The Golden Calf 32 When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods[g] who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.” 2 Aaron answered them, “Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me.” 3 So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron. 4 He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, “These are your gods,[h] Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.” 5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the calf and announced, “Tomorrow there will be a festival to the Lord.” 6 So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings. Afterward they sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry. 7 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt. 8 They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.’ 9 “I have seen these people,” the Lord said to Moses, “and they are a stiff-necked people. 10 Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”

Aaron had declared a "feast" or "festival" following the offering of sacrifices to the golden calf idol that he had made (Exodus 32:5). The passage in question mentions singing (Exodus 32:18), dancing (Exodus 32:19) (both apparently of a raucous, unrestrained nature), and sexual misconduct (Exodus 32:25). (The King James Version notes specifically that the people were naked.) As several translations express it, they were "running wild", with a complete loss of self-control or restraint. It would also seem reasonable to conclude that the "drinking" that the people did (Exodus 32:6) was of alcohol, resulting in drunkenness and loss of any personal sense of inhibition.

The Israelites' not having Moses for a while in their midst frustrated them, not knowing what to do, which in turn made them to go to Aaron to make a god who would go before them. A god for them was a deity which they were so commonly used to see among the people in revelry for all the years that they spent in Egypt. The common revelry practice in Egypt indulged in festive mood of dancing, drinking and partying to their false idols. But the revelry the Israelites indulged in after the cry of the children of Israel was heard (Exodus 3:9) was in giving in what they don't own but was borrowed from the Egyptians (Exodus 3:22) on the word of Moses (Exodus 12:35-36) for God knew that they would need provisions for their journey. The God that they believed was when Moses and Aaron spoke and showed them the signs that they believed and worshiped bowing down without an idol. (Exodus 4:31) And now they wanted to see an idol who would lead them, and to make them this idol they strip themselves of not only their ornaments and jewels (Exodus 32:25) but also their favor and protection of God by which they were secured from the Egyptians and the mighty enemies they would be facing on their journey to the promise land.

The belief in Miracle Veil Magic suggests that there are limits to the extent of magic that humans can harness, as the veil hinders us from fully accessing or controlling supernatural energies. There are various rituals and practices associated with attempting to bypass or lift the Miracle Veil. These rituals often involve the use of meditation, prayer, incantations, or other means of connecting with the spiritual realm. The goal is to temporarily lift or thin the veil to gain insight, guidance, or even supernatural powers. However, the concept of Miracle Veil Magic should be approached with caution. While it can be fascinating and alluring, it is important to remember that it is ultimately a matter of belief and is not supported by empirical evidence. The idea of a Miracle Veil is rooted in spirituality, mysticism, and folklore rather than scientific fact. In conclusion, Miracle Veil Magic is a captivating concept that explores the mysterious barrier between the earthly and spiritual realms. It is tied to the belief in supernatural forces and the limits of human interaction with them. However, one must approach the topic with an open mind, recognizing that it is a matter of personal belief and not universally accepted or proven..
