covenantrevalationteam

Book of Deuteronomy:

Deuteronomy is a book that once again talks about a covenant. It is at the end of Israel's wanderings. This Covenant, which includes the Ten Commandments, is delivered by Moses on the plains of Moab (Deut 29:1), forty years after the original Covenant was given by God at Mt Sinai.

This book also talks about the appointment of Joshua, conditions for blessings and cursings, and Moses' passing.

This book reveals some fascinating insights which will appear as the study progresses.

Chart 2: Exodus chapters 20 - 23 in detail (we will be referring to this section of Exodus in the main Study)

We have presented an overview of the events in the whole book of Exodus in Chart 1, Now we need to see where the Covenant, given on Mt Sinai is recorded. In Exodus chapter 19 it describes how it was delivered, but the actual Old Covenant, including the 10 Commandments, is written in Exodus chapters 20 to 23, and then ratified in chapter 24 (verse 8).

It is important to note that the 10 Commandments are a part of the Old Covenant - in fact it introduces the Covenant.
