Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession.God then said was going to come to them at the mountain, and warned them to make themselves clean (wash your clothes, abstain from sexual relations).
On the third day, they went out to the mountain to meet God. A trumpet sounded, thunder and lightening hit, and the mountain was on fire. Moses went up to the mountain, but everyone else stayed behind.
God gave Moses the Ten Commandments:
1. Have no other gods
2. Do not make idols
3. Do not use the Lord's name in vain
4. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
God told the Israelites not the make idols out of gold & silver, but instead to make an alter of earth and give burnt offerings.
