He had to wait 40 days to meet Allah. He fasted for those days as he waited. Allah told him that He liked the smell from the mouth of a fasting person. It mentions thirty and ten, one reason is
Originally it was meant to be thirty, Musa (alayhis salaam) fasted for those days. When he was about meet, he gargled his mouth. However Allah told him something to the effect that He liked the smell. And was told to fast another ten days.
He met Allah on the 10th Zilhajj, which is Eid-ul-Adha. Another reason to celebrate this day.
The next verse demonstrates the weakness of man in being able to see Allah. Even the mountain could not bear it.
