- In Exodus 32:7-14, God is angered by the Israelites' idolatry and rebellion and is ready to turn his wrath against them, even if it means starting over with Moses. He uses the phrase "stiff-necked" to describe their disobedience, which is a reference to a bull or ox that will not be yoked. Though this moment reminds us of Moses's place in between the people and God, it also reminds us of our own reliance upon the grace of God for our own brokenness.

It’s also a possibility that God was using the strong language in order to bring out what he knew Moses had inside him as a leader. 1:10 He may have been prompting Moses to step up and putting him in positions to test him.
if God is a perfect and all merciful being why would he change his mind or not have the best option at hand I truly believe in God but this contradicts that he is perfect and confuses me
This is a spectacular question which people of faith have struggled with for thousands of years. The Old Testament has several sections that talk about God "changing" his mind. Jesus in the New Testament invites us to pray, and the ultimate blessing of prayer is that the eternal God desires to be in fellowship with us. Christians do believe that God desires the best for every person in every circumstance. Yet, simultaneously, the world is still broken God still wants us to be in constant relationship, advocating for the good as we understand it (and in the humility of knowing that God may choose to act in a better way than what we understand).
