Exodus 23-24

Exodus 23 continues the teaching/laws that God laid down for His people:

• Be fair and be honest. Do not look at a person's outside and decide on whether he/she is guilty.
• Observe the Sabbath - work for 6 days/years and rest on the 7. Worship only the true God. Celebrate 3 times a year - and present to God the best (for sacrifice/worship).

God promised that He would send an angel to protect His people and prepare a way for them. He told them to drive out the pagans because they worship other gods.

Exodus 24 describes how Moses confirmed the covenant with God by sprinkling blood onto the altar, and everyone said that they would do all that God said. God then told Moses to go up to the Mountain where God would give him the tablets of stone with laws and commands. So Moses went up and stayed there for 40 days and 40 nights. (it's funny how numbers tend to repeat in the bible. There's the 7's; 3's and then 40's....)
