Mount Sinai I

2002 – 2003

“...after the Israelites left Egypt,.. they came to the desert of Sinai...and.. camped opposite the mountain...God called to Moses from the mountain and said, ...'.You saw what I did in Egypt, carrying you on eagles' wings and bringing you to Me..Now if you obey Me and keep My covenant, you shall be My special treasure among all nations, even though all the world is Mine...You will be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation to Me.' ..All the people answered as one and said, 'All that God has spoken, we will do..”

Exodus 19:1–8

The People of Israel encamped at the foot of Mt. Sinai from the third month after the Exodus until the 20th of the second month of the second year (Ex. 19:1–Num. 10:11). The people prepared themselves for three days for the theophany, and Moses ascended the mountain. On the third day God descended upon the mountain and uttered the Ten Commandments (Ex. 20; Deut. 5). Mt. Sinai was then enveloped in a cloud for six days, while fire burnt on its summit. On the seventh day Moses ascended the mountain to receive the Tablets of the Law, remaining there for 40 days and nights.
