Exodus 24:1 Then he said to Moses, “Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship from afar. 2 Moses alone shall come near to the Lord, but the others shall not come near, and the people shall not come up with him.” 3 Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord and all the rules. And all the people answered with one voice and said, “All the words that the Lord has spoken we will do.”
The chapters in between today and yesterday are what we might call "rules of relationship" - how people are to interact with God and one another. They were straightforward, specific, and fully understood. Total agreement was expressed on both sides. Moses was appointed to record all the details and sign for the people. Covenants are made for integrity, security, and proclamation before the world. God wants everyone to know who we are an why we are here. Do we truly understand who we are as His people?
