you who have received the law that was given through angels but have not obeyed it.”

The law you received was given by angels. But you haven’t obeyed it.”

you who received the law as delivered by angels and did not keep it.”

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

you who received the Law as ordained by angels, and yet did not keep it.”

who have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it.”

ye who received the law as it was ordained by angels, and kept it not.

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

Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept[ it].

You received the law by decrees given by angels, but you did not obey it.”

You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn’t keep it!”

Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised. God gave his law through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people.

For the message God delivered through angels has always stood firm, and every violation of the law and every act of disobedience was punished.

“ The Lord came from Mount Sinai and dawned upon us from Mount Seir; he shone forth from Mount Paran and came from Meribah kadesh with flaming fire at his right hand.

Moses was with our ancestors, the assembly of God’s people in the wilderness, when the angel spoke to him at Mount Sinai. And there Moses received life giving words to pass on to us.

Moses gave you the law, but none of you obeys it! In fact, you are trying to kill me.”

And even those who advocate circumcision don’t keep the whole law themselves. They only want you to be circumcised so they can boast about it and claim you as their disciples.

“ Then I warned their children not to follow in their parents’ footsteps, defiling themselves with their idols.‘ I am the Lord your God,’ I told them.‘ Follow my decrees, pay attention to my regulations,and keep my Sabbath days holy, for they are a sign to remind you that I am the Lord your God.’“ But their children, too, rebelled against me. They refused to keep my decrees and follow my regulations, even though obedience would have given them life. And they also violated my Sabbath days. So again I threatened to pour out my fury on them in the wilderness.

You are so proud of knowing the law, but you dishonor God by breaking it.No wonder the Scriptures say,“ The Gentiles blaspheme the name of God because of you.”The Jewish ceremony of circumcision has value only if you obey God’s law. But if you don’t obey God’s law, you are no better off than an uncircumcised Gentile.

Surrounded by unnumbered thousands of chariots, the Lord came from Mount Sinai into his sanctuary.

Exactly two months after the Israelites left Egypt, they arrived in the wilderness of Sinai.After breaking camp at Rephidim, they came to the wilderness of Sinai and set up camp there at the base of Mount Sinai.Then Moses climbed the mountain to appear before God. The Lord called to him from the mountain and said,“ Give these instructions to the family of Jacob; announce it to the descendants of Israel:‘ You have seen what I did to the Egyptians. You know how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.Now if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own special treasure from among all the peoples on earth; for all the earth belongs to me.And you will be my kingdom of priests, my holy nation.’ This is the message you must give to the people of Israel.”So Moses returned from the mountain and called together the elders of the people and told them everything the Lord had commanded him.And all the people responded together,“ We will do everything the Lord has commanded.” So Moses brought the people’s answer back to the Lord.Then the Lord said to Moses,“ I will come to you in a thick cloud, Moses, so the people themselves can hear me when I speak with you. Then they will always trust you.” Moses told the Lord what the people had said.Then the Lord told Moses,“ Go down and prepare the people for my arrival. Consecrate them today and tomorrow, and have them wash their clothing.Be sure they are ready on the third day, for on that day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai as all the people watch.Mark off a boundary all around the mountain. Warn the people,‘ Be careful! Do not go up on the mountain or even touch its boundaries. Anyone who touches the mountain will certainly be put to death.No hand may touch the person or animal that crosses the boundary; instead, stone them or shoot them with arrows. They must be put to death.’ However, when the ram’s horn sounds a long blast, then the people may go up on the mountain.”So Moses went down to the people. He consecrated them for worship, and they washed their clothes.He told them,“ Get ready for the third day, and until then abstain from having sexual intercourse.”On the morning of the third day, thunder roared and lightning flashed, and a dense cloud came down on the mountain. There was a long, loud blast from a ram’s horn, and all the people trembled.Moses led them out from the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.All of Mount Sinai was covered with smoke because the Lord had descended on it in the form of fire. The smoke billowed into the sky like smoke from a brick kiln, and the whole mountain shook violently.As the blast of the ram’s horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God thundered his reply.The Lord came down on the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses climbed the mountain.
