The Mosaiic Covenant In Exodus 19-20

The Mosaic covenant is found in Exodus 19-20. In these chapters God promises to his people to make them a holy nation, a kingdom a priests, and his treasured possessions. This covenant is conditional the 1st conditional covenant meaning you have to do something to keep the covenant in motion. God had a really simple request for this conditional covenant, and that was to obey the one true God. Also the people needed to believe, worship, and fear him as their god.

This started when God led his people out of Egypt. The way he did this was through Moses. The word of the Lord came upon Moses telling him to tell the pharaoh to let the slaves free. The Pharaoh said no so God’s wrath came upon Egypt with plagues. I find if very cool and creative of God with the plagues. The reason why they are creative is because each plague corresponds to an Egyptian god “including the pharaoh.”
Later the Egyptians chased down the slaves that they let go, and god destroyed the Egyptian army to lead his people go to the promised land that will soon be given to Moses in the Mosaic covenant. Throughout the journey God tested his people to test their faith in him. He let them starve and have very little water. Then he would put desirable objects in front of them to tempt them in leaving God’s side.

The worst part is every time Moses warns them about something they don’t agree with or they want something and Moses says no. They would blame Moses when he is the messenger. So it’s like they are yelling at God for everything Moses says when it’s Gods words coming out of Moses’s mouth. This angered God enough so everyone who was over a certain age would die in the desert. Also the reason Moses never got to see the promised land was because God saw how stubborn he was when the people argued and complained to him. Leaving Moses outside the promised land to look upon
