Then why was the law given at all? It was added because of human sin. And it was supposed to control us until the promised Seed had come. The law was given through angels, and a go- between was put in charge of it.

Even the message God spoke through angels had to be obeyed. Every time people broke the Law, they were punished. Every time they didn’t obey, they were punished.

He said,“ The Lord came from Mount Sinai. Like the rising sun, he shone on his people from Mount Seir. He shone on them from Mount Paran. He came with large numbers of angels. He came from his mountain slopes in the south.

Moses was with the Israelites in the desert. He was with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai. Moses was with our people of long ago. He received living words to pass on to us.

Didn’t Moses give you the law? But not one of you obeys the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”

Even those who are circumcised don’t obey the law. But they want you to be circumcised. Then they can brag about what has been done to your body.

I spoke to their children there. I said,‘ Do not follow the rules your parents gave you. Do not obey their laws. Do not make yourselves“ unclean” by worshiping their gods.I am the Lord your God. So follow my rules. Be careful to obey my laws.Keep my Sabbath days holy. That is the sign of the covenant I made with you. You will know that I am the Lord your God.’“‘ “But their children refused to obey me. They did not follow my rules. They were not careful to keep my laws. The person who obeys them will live by them. They misused my Sabbath days. So I said I would pour out all my great anger on them in the desert.

You brag about the law. But when you break it, you rob God of his honor!It is written,“ The Gentiles say evil things against God’s name because of you.”( Isaiah 52:5; Ezekiel 36:22)Circumcision has value if you obey the law. But if you break the law, it is just as if you hadn’t been circumcised.

God has come with tens of thousands of his chariots. He has come with thousands and thousands of them. The Lord has come from Mount Sinai. He has entered his holy place.

Exactly three months after the people of Israel left Egypt, they came to the Desert of Sinai.After they started out from Rephidim, they entered the Desert of Sinai. They camped there in the desert in front of the mountain.Then Moses went up to God. The Lord called out to him from the mountain. He said,“ Here is what I want you to say to my people, who belong to Jacob’s family. Tell the Israelites,‘ You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt. You saw how I carried you on the wings of eagles and brought you to myself.Now obey me completely. Keep my covenant. If you do, then out of all the nations you will be my special treasure. The whole earth is mine.But you will be a kingdom of priests to serve me. You will be my holy nation.’ That is what you must tell the Israelites.”So Moses went back. He sent for the elders of the people. He explained to them everything the Lord had commanded him to say.All the people answered together. They said,“ We will do everything the Lord has said.” So Moses brought their answer back to the Lord.The Lord spoke to Moses. He said,“ I am going to come to you in a thick cloud. The people will hear me speaking with you. They will always put their trust in you.” Then Moses told the Lord what the people had said.The Lord said to Moses,“ Go to the people. Today and tomorrow set them apart for me. Have them wash their clothes.Have the people ready by the third day. On that day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai. Everyone will see it.Put limits for the people around the mountain. Tell them,‘ Be careful that you do not go near the mountain. Do not even touch the foot of it. Whoever touches the mountain must be put to death.Do not lay a hand on any of them. Kill them with stones or shoot them with arrows. Whether they are people or animals, do not let them live.’ They may go near the mountain only when the ram’s horn gives out a long blast.”Moses went down the mountain to the people. After he set them apart for the Lord, they washed their clothes.Then he spoke to the people. He said,“ Get ready for the third day. Don’t have sex.”On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning. A thick cloud covered the mountain. A trumpet gave out a very loud blast. Everyone in the camp trembled with fear.Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with God. They stood at the foot of the mountain.Smoke covered Mount Sinai, because the Lord came down on it in fire. The smoke rose up from it like smoke from a furnace. The whole mountain trembled and shook.The sound of the trumpet got louder and louder. Then Moses spoke. And the voice of God answered him.The Lord came down to the top of Mount Sinai. He told Moses to come to the top of the mountain. So Moses went up.
