We continue to study the judgements God revealed at Sinai after He revealed by His word the 10 commandments. Remember that the people of Israel were hearing these judgements for the first time. They didn’t have the advantage of the foresight we have and they haven’t been written down yet. They didn’t have the clarifications and admonitions from the Messiah Yeshua.
Thought Questions
Did Yeshua reverse God’s judgements? Are God’s judgements easy?
How did Aaron and the 70 elders “see the Lord”?
What is the pattern of the 40 days on the mountain?
Why did Moses have to build an altar before he went to the mountain?
Are the rules in Exodus 23 rules or commandments?
What does it mean to “do not show partiality to a poor man in a dispute”? Why did God repeat this admonition about not showing partiality to the poor or needy in disputes?
How do bribes pervert justice?
How does God clarify the Sabbath? What was the purpose of the sabbatical year for the land?
What does it mean to “boil a goat in its mother’s milk”? What is God’s blood sacrifice?
Who is the “angel” mentioned in Ex. 23:21? What power does this angel possess?
What is the blood covenant mentioned in Exodus 24?
What does it mean that we aren’t to “obey the mob”?
