Moses sought advice from "the Lord" when faced with a dilemma. Yet I cannot square this apparently cruel "Lord" with the "Father" spoken of by Jesus. They seem to be two different spirits.

Perhaps they were two different interperatations of one spirit.

it was Jesus. Times were different then and required different measures. There are two different spirits but Jesus has been around since before the earth was ever created.
He was the first angel that the almighty father created and then he created everything else. He was the one who lead Mosses through the wilderness.
When they went into Iraq it is much different circumstances than going in to Louisiana after the hurricane.
They have an ancient religion and culture that is very violent and war like. Making peace was a whole new way of life.

Yes, the Father of Jesus is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Joseph, and Moses too. Jesus is also the Lord of Moses.

If you want to do a theological study on it you would find that the "Lord" of Moses was Jesus. (Jehovah in the OT)
I think you might have difficulty squaring Jesus after His ascension with Jesus of the New Testament too. Read about Jesus when he throws all those not found in the book of Life into Hell in Revelation 20.

Yes, the same God.
Yes, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The same as the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Remember, it was the LORD who brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. That was an act of divine grace.
He brought them through the Red Sea, He fed them with Manna and Quail in the wilderness ... all that was of Grace.
He lead them by a pillar of cloud in the day and a pillar of fire by night. All of grace.
When Moses went up onto the mountain for a few days, the thankful and grateful [[!! NOT !!] Hebrews fashioned a golden calf so they could worship it instead of the Lord their God.
How would many have reacted if they were "God"?

I agree with you. I do not believe that the god of this world (the god of Moses [ya] )was the god of Abraham or Jacob.
The inconsistencies in character are just too great. However the following text might give you a different starting point.
John 14:7 {If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.}

Fair question, friend. Jesus referred to His Father as the same God Who spoke to Moses. Assuming the Son knows Who the Father is, they can be concluded to be One in the same.
Was your father ever stern with you when you strayed from what was true and right? I show my children love when I discipline and teach them in reaction to their being wrong. I wouldn't be a loving father if I didn't.
Also, God as described in the Old Testament consistently demonstrates more patience than good fathers do. He is longsuffering with his children who commit the worst imaginable errors.
Anyone who calls the God of the Old Testament "cruel" would have to call loving human fathers "very cruel."

Pope John Paul II referred to there being three commonly referred to "God"s in circles of Christianity. The God of Moses and Abraham, the God who was Jesus Christ and the Trinity, and the philosophical God which is what deists would essentially believe in. Christians believe that all 3 of these are the same God and Jews would deny the Godliness of the Trinitarian God and deists would deny the two religious ideas of God.

YHWH from the Burning Bush: "I AM"
Jesus to the Pharisees in John 8:58: "I AM"
You do the math.
1+1+1=1

He is one and the same. God has a much bigger personality and many more attributes than a man does. He is the God of love and a God of wrath all at the same time. He has and always will hate sin, that's why he hated Jesus while he was on the cross. Jesus had become sin while he hung on the cross.
