Israel Enters Covenant with God

Search God's Holy Word in Exodus chapters 20 thru 24.

Moses had written down all the commandments and judgments spoken by the Lord and read them to the children of Israel (Exodus 24:4,7). The children of Israel agreed to be obedient to God and entered into a covenant relationship with Him (Exodus 24:7,8). Moses took blood from sacrifices to God "...and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words" (Exodus 24:8).

God had Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu and seventy of the elders to come to Him to worship 'afar off' (Exodus 24:1). "And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink" (Exodus 24:10,11).

God also had Moses to come up to Him into the mount and said "...I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them" (Exodus 24:12). "And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount" (Exodus 24:15).

"And the glory of the Lord abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel." (Exodus 24:16-17).

"And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights" (Exodus 24:18).
