Exodus 19:3-7; 20: 1-17 . Covenant and Commandments

Through Moses we hear directly from God. According to Walter Brueggemann, the commandments could be seen as “a proclamation in God’s own mouth of who God is and how God shall be ‘practiced’ by this community of liberated slaves.” We are given a set of teachings which describe how we are to live, what we must do is believe and trust that when we knock on the door God is waiting on the other side. listen view
