Day 7 of 90: Bible Reading Plan (Read Exodus 19-30)
Basically what’s going on here is the Israelite’s have ended up at Mount Sinai (b/c God led them there from Egypt) and the Lord gives Moses the Ten Commandments. Moses goes to the top of the mountain and God is offering the Israelite’s this covenant with Him, they’ll get to be His chosen people forever, if they keep His commands, and they’re like, “Absolutely, for sure!”
Except . . . they hadn’t heard His terms (rules) yet.
So God speaks so they can hear Him and they’re frightened, they believe what Moses is saying, and they pledge their obedience. So they’re *(the Israelite’s)* are dismissed and Moses goes back up into the fog covering mountain/hill top and listens to God as He gives these commandments in detail. When Moses comes back down, He again goes over everything with the people, verbally speaking out the commandments, and they’re still good with agreeing, they’re like, “Yeah, I’m game!” Then Moses is called back up to the mountain, where he then receives instruction for the construction of The Tabernacle.
The bad news? God tells him that the people have been down yonder, building this golden calf, they’ve already strayed away, and He’s going to destroy them. Yikes! There’s probably some yelling at the Israelite’s from Moses (unless he’s just a totally chill guy), but He ends up going back to the mountain, getting another tablet. When he returns this time around he tells the people about the Tabernacle and they spend that year working on it until it’s constructed! Then there’s a lot more, we’re skimming.
The Ten Commandments:
Thou shalt have no other gods before me
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image
Though shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain
Remember the Sabbath day; to keep it Holy
Honor they father and they mother
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not commit adultery
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not bear false witness
Thou shalt not covet
Tomorrow we’re going to be starting WEEK 2! Yay!
