There Moses
was summoned
by God to give
his message
that as a people
they are bound
to God by a
covenant,
requiring them
to behave
according to
certain laws
The Sinai
covenant
demanded the
people of Israel
to behave as
Gods people
under Gods
laws and
conditions.
Exodus 24:3 ,
the people
ratified the
covenant :
We will do
everything
that the Lord
has told us.
Moses was
regarded as the
great Hebrew
lawgiver and
leader who led the
Israelites out of
slavery in Egypt to
the land of
Canaan, where
they settled as an
organized nation.
The Biblical
accounts show
that in the third
month after the
Exodus, Moses
went to the peak
of a mountain in
the Sinai desert
while his people
were encamped at
the foot of this
mountain.
There he received
the moral law for
their community
life, the Ten
Commandments,
which became the
basis of what later
known as the
Mosaic law, or the
Torah.
(Ex. 20:2-17)
The Ten
Commandments
served as guide
for decisions
about what was
right and wrong.
The Mosaic law
was the central
and the
distinguishing
mark of the
Jewish religion.
