This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living revelations to give to us,

Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the basic principles of God’s revelation again. You need milk, not solid food.

Considerable in every way. First, they were entrusted with the very words of God.

You received the law under the direction of angels and yet have not kept it.”

If anyone speaks, let it be as one who speaks God’s words; if anyone serves, let it be from the strength God provides, so that God may be glorified through Jesus Christ in everything. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

for the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

he said to them,“ Take to heart all these words I am giving as a warning to you today, so that you may command your children to follow all the words of this law carefully.For they are not meaningless words to you but they are your life, and by them you will live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”

Moses went up the mountain to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain:“ This is what you must say to the house of Jacob and explain to the Israelites:‘ You have seen what I did to the Egyptians and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.Now if you will carefully listen to me and keep my covenant, you will be my own possession out of all the peoples, although the whole earth is mine,and you will be my kingdom of priests and my holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to say to the Israelites.”After Moses came back, he summoned the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him.Then all the people responded together,“ We will do all that the LORD has spoken.” So Moses brought the people’s words back to the LORD.The LORD said to Moses,“ I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear when I speak with you and will always believe you.” Moses reported the people’s words to the LORD,and the LORD told Moses,“ Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothesand be prepared by the third day, for on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.Put boundaries for the people all around the mountain and say: Be careful that you don’t go up on the mountain or touch its base. Anyone who touches the mountain must be put to death.No hand may touch him; instead he will be stoned or shot with arrows and not live, whether animal or human. When the ram’s horn sounds a long blast, they may go up the mountain.”Then Moses came down from the mountain to the people and consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.He said to the people,“ Be prepared by the third day. Do not have sexual relations with women.”On the third day, when morning came, there was thunder and lightning, a thick cloud on the mountain, and a very loud blast from a ram’s horn, so that all the people in the camp shuddered.Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.

Moses gave us instruction, a possession for the assembly of Jacob.

“ This is the command— the statutes and ordinances— the LORD your God has commanded me to teach you, so that you may follow them in the land you are about to enter and possess.Do this so that you may fear the LORD your God all the days of your life by keeping all his statutes and commands I am giving you, your son, and your grandson, and so that you may have a long life.Listen, Israel, and be careful to follow them, so that you may prosper and multiply greatly, because the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has promised you a land flowing with milk and honey.

Go near and listen to everything the LORD our God says. Then you can tell us everything the LORD our God tells you; we will listen and obey.’“ The LORD heard your words when you spoke to me. He said to me,‘ I have heard the words that these people have spoken to you. Everything they have said is right.If only they had such a heart to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that they and their children would prosper forever.Go and tell them: Return to your tents.But you stand here with me, and I will tell you every command— the statutes and ordinances— you are to teach them, so that they may follow them in the land I am giving them to possess.’

In all their suffering, he suffered, and the angel of his presence saved them. He redeemed them because of his love and compassion; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of the past.

After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in the flame of a burning bush.

“ These are the ordinances that you are to set before them:“ When you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for six years; then in the seventh he is to leave as a free man without paying anything.If he arrives alone, he is to leave alone; if he arrives with a wife, his wife is to leave with him.If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children belong to her master, and the man must leave alone.“ But if the slave declares,‘ I love my master, my wife, and my children; I do not want to leave as a free man,’his master is to bring him to the judges and then bring him to the door or doorpost. His master will pierce his ear with an awl, and he will serve his master for life.“ When a man sells his daughter as a concubine, she is not to leave as the male slaves do.If she is displeasing to her master, who chose her for himself, then he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners because he has acted treacherously toward her.Or if he chooses her for his son, he must deal with her according to the customary treatment of daughters.If he takes an additional wife, he must not reduce the food, clothing, or marital rights of the first wife.And if he does not do these three things for her, she may leave free of charge, without any payment.

He established a testimony in Jacob and set up a law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach to their childrenso that a future generation— children yet to be born— might know. They were to rise and tell their childrenso that they might put their confidence in God and not forget God’s works, but keep his commands.Then they would not be like their ancestors, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not loyal and whose spirit was not faithful to God.The Ephraimite archers turned back on the day of battle.

Why, then, was the law given? It was added for the sake of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise was made would come. The law was put into effect through angels by means of a mediator.

The Spirit is the one who gives life. The flesh doesn’t help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

You came down on Mount Sinai, and spoke to them from heaven. You gave them impartial ordinances, reliable instructions, and good statutes and commands.You revealed your holy Sabbath to them, and gave them commands, statutes, and instruction through your servant Moses.

“ This Moses, whom they rejected when they said, Who appointed you a ruler and a judge?— this one God sent as a ruler and a deliverer through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live,love the LORD your God, obey him, and remain faithful to him. For he is your life, and he will prolong your days as you live in the land the LORD swore to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

The next day the entire Israelite community complained about Moses and Aaron, saying,“ You have killed the LORD’s people!”When the community assembled against them, Moses and Aaron turned toward the tent of meeting, and suddenly the cloud covered it, and the LORD’s glory appeared.

But the righteousness that comes from faith speaks like this: Do not say in your heart,“ Who will go up to heaven?” that is, to bring Christ downor,“ Who will go down into the abyss?” that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.On the contrary, what does it say? The message is near you, in your mouth and in your heart. This is the message of faith that we proclaim:If you confess with your mouth,“ Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation.

“ You speak to us, and we will listen,” they said to Moses,“ but don’t let God speak to us, or we will die.”Moses responded to the people,“ Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, so that you will fear him and will not sin.”

They came together against Moses and Aaron and told them,“ You have gone too far! Everyone in the entire community is holy, and the LORD is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the LORD’s assembly?”When Moses heard this, he fell facedown.Then he said to Korah and all his followers,“ Tomorrow morning the LORD will reveal who belongs to him, who is set apart, and the one he will let come near him. He will let the one he chooses come near him.Korah, you and all your followers are to do this: take firepans, and tomorrowplace fire in them and put incense on them before the LORD. Then the man the LORD chooses will be the one who is set apart. It is you Levites who have gone too far!”Moses also told Korah,“ Now listen, Levites!Isn’t it enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the Israelite community to bring you near to himself, to perform the work at the LORD’s tabernacle, and to stand before the community to minister to them?He has brought you near, and all your fellow Levites who are with you, but you are pursuing the priesthood as well.Therefore, it is you and all your followers who have conspired against the LORD! As for Aaron, who is he that you should complain about him?”Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said,“ We will not come!Is it not enough that you brought us up from a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness? Do you also have to appoint yourself as ruler over us?Furthermore, you didn’t bring us to a land flowing with milk and honey or give us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you gouge out the eyes of these men? We will not come!”Then Moses became angry and said to the LORD,“ Don’t respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them or mistreated a single one of them.”So Moses told Korah,“ You and all your followers are to appear before the LORD tomorrow— you, they, and Aaron.Each of you is to take his firepan, place incense on it, and present his firepan before the LORD— 250 firepans. You and Aaron are each to present your firepan also.”Each man took his firepan, placed fire in it, put incense on it, and stood at the entrance to the tent of meeting along with Moses and Aaron.After Korah assembled the whole community against them at the entrance to the tent of meeting, the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole community.The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron,“ Separate yourselves from this community so I may consume them instantly.”But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and said,“ God, God who gives breath to all, when one man sins, will you vent your wrath on the whole community?”The LORD replied to Moses,“ Tell the community: Get away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.He warned the community,“ Get away now from the tents of these wicked men. Don’t touch anything that belongs to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins.”So they got away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Meanwhile, Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrance of their tents with their wives, children, and infants.Then Moses said,“ This is how you will know that the LORD sent me to do all these things and that it was not of my own will:If these men die naturally as all people would, and suffer the fate of all, then the LORD has not sent me.But if the LORD brings about something unprecedented, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them along with all that belongs to them so that they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have despised the LORD.”Just as he finished speaking all these words, the ground beneath them split open.The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households, all Korah’s people, and all their possessions.They went down alive into Sheol with all that belonged to them. The earth closed over them, and they vanished from the assembly.At their cries, all the people of Israel who were around them fled because they thought,“ The earth may swallow us too!”Fire also came out from the LORD and consumed the 250 men who were presenting the incense.

They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple service, and the promises.

For if the message spoken through angels was legally binding and every transgression and disobedience received a just punishment,

For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
