The Ten Commandments Do you know the story of the Ten Commandments? Read to ﬁnd out how God gave Moses the Ten Commandments. In that time, God did something great for his people. Pharaoh was holding them as slaves in Egypt. The people were treated very badly. Then, God freed his people! He chose Moses as their leader. The people were so happy! They praised God! God told Moses that he would lead the people to the Promised Land. They had to travel in the desert for many years to get there. The people needed to trust in God. But, after traveling for so long, Moses and God's people became very tired. It was difﬁcult to keep on trusting God. Then one day, God spoke to Moses. He told Moses to come to the top of Mount Sinai. There God gave Moses these rules for his people: 1. There is only one God. I am the Lord, your God. 2. You should respect God's name. Speak God's name with love and honor. 3. Remember the Lord's Day and keep it holy. 4. Honor your mother and your father. 5. You should not kill or hurt other people. 6. You should treat your body with respect. Treat other people with respect also. 7. You should not steal. 8. You should not lie. 9. You should not be jealous of other people. 10. You should not be jealous of other people's things. Moses came down the mountain. The Ten Commandments were written on two stone slabs. Moses told the rules to the people. --Based on Exodus 19:20-20:17, 24:12-25:9 Ask someone in your family to read the list of the Commandments with you.

Torah Texts Describing the Revelation at Mt. Sinai-Horeb Emphasize The
Paradox on the Holy Mountain By Steven Dunn, Ph.D. © 2018 Torah texts describing the revelation at Mt. Sinai-Horeb emphasize the presence of God in sounds (lwq) of thunder, accompanied by blasts of the Shofar, with fire and dark clouds (Exod 19:16-25; 20:18-21; Deut 4:11-12; 5:22-24). These dramatic, awe-inspiring theophanies re- veal divine power and holy danger associated with proximity to divine presence. In contrast, Elijah’s encounter with God on Mt. Horeb in 1 Kings 19:11-12, begins with a similar audible, vis- ual drama of strong, violent winds, an earthquake and fire—none of which manifest divine presence. Rather, it is hqd hmmd lwq, “a voice of thin silence” (v. 12) which manifests God, causing Elijah to hide his face in his cloak, lest he “see” divine presence (and presumably die).1 Revelation in external phenomena present a type of kataphatic experience, while revelation in silence presents a more apophatic, mystical experience.2 Traditional Jewish and Christian mystical traditions point to divine silence and darkness as the highest form of revelatory experience. This paper explores the contrasting theophanies experienced by Moses and the Israelites at Sinai and Elijah’s encounter in silence on Horeb, how they use symbolic imagery to convey transcendent spiritual realities, and speculate whether 1 Kings 19:11-12 represents a “higher” form of revela- tory encounter.

Why Did Moses Break the Tablets (Ekev)
Thu 6 Aug 2020 / 16 Av 5780 B”H Dr Maurice M. Mizrahi Congregation Adat Reyim Torah discussion on Ekev Why Did Moses Break the Tablets? Introduction In this week's portion, Ekev, Moses recounts to the Israelites how he broke the first set of tablets of the Law once he saw that they had engaged in idolatry by building and worshiping a golden calf: And I saw, and behold, you had sinned against the Lord, your God. You had made yourselves a molten calf. You had deviated quickly from the way which the Lord had commanded you. So I gripped the two tablets, flung them away with both my hands, and smashed them before your eyes. [Deut. 9:16-17] This parallels the account in Exodus: As soon as Moses came near the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, he became enraged; and he hurled the tablets from his hands and shattered them at the foot of the mountain. [Exodus 32:19] Why did he do that? What purpose did it accomplish? -Wasn’t it an affront to God, since the tablets were holy? -Didn't it shatter the authority of the very commandments that told the Israelites not to worship idols? -Was it just a spontaneous reaction, a public display of anger, a temper tantrum? Did Moses just forget himself? -Why didn’t he just return them to God, or at least get God’s approval before smashing them? Yet he was not admonished! Six explanations in the Sources 1-Because God told him to do it 1 The Talmud reports that four prominent rabbis said that God told Moses to break the tablets.

According to a USA Today poll, “Sixty percent of Americans cannot name five of the Ten Commandments.”1 In fact, it is amazing what Americans do know by comparison: 74% of Americans can name all three Stooges – Moe, Larry, and Curley.2 35% of Americans can recall all six kids from the Brady Bunch.3 25% of Americans can name all seven ingredients of McDonald’s Big Mac®.4 Here is the sad news: Only 14% can accurately name all Ten Commandments.5 Yet 78% of Americans are in favor of public displays of the Commandments.6 How ironic.

MOSES and the 10 COMMANDMENTS at Mount Sinai, the People of Israel Were Finally About to Meet with God
bible stories MOSES AND THE 10 COMMANDMENTS At Mount Sinai, the people of Israel were finally about to meet with God. God was going to give them His good and helpful law, the 10 Commandments. by Shelby Faith In the third month after Israel left Egypt, the Israelites came to the Wilderness of Sinai. They camped there before the mountain. God told Moses to come up to the mountain. So Moses went up to God. God said, “Tell the people of Israel: ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I brought you out of Egypt. Now, if you will obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be special to Me above all people.” Moses returned and called for the elders of the people. He told them God would make an agreement with Israel and take care of them if they obeyed His words. The people said, “We will do all that the Lord wants us to do.” Moses went back to God and told Him what the people had said. Then God said to Moses, “Tell the people to wash their clothes and be ready for the third day. On the third day I will come down on Mount Sinai. Tell them not to go up to the mountain or touch it. Anyone who touches the mountain will die. When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come near the mountain.” Again Moses went down from the mountain and got the people ready. God speaks from Mount Sinai Now on the third day there was great thunder and lightning.

The Mountain of God
Christchurch Baptist Fellowship March 30, 2014 THE MOUNTAIN OF GOD I Kings 18 and 19 are a contrast of extremes. In chapter 18 Elijah is doing wonders for God. He challenged the authority of Ahab and Jezebel, prayed down fire on Mount Carmel, executed the false prophets of Baal and outran Ahab (who was driving his chariot) in a 24-mile journey from Carmel to Jezreel. In chapter 19 Jezebel has threatened Elijah’s life and the mighty prophet is so dominated by fear that he flees to Beersheba and then further into the wilderness and ends up under a juniper tree totally absorbed in self-pity and paralyzed by the present state of affairs. Time would fail to tell about all the famous mountains of the Bible such as the Mountains of Ararat where Noah’s ark landed after the flood. Mount Moriah is a very famous mountain where Abraham offered Isaac and the place where Solomon built the Temple. Then there is Mount Nebo and upwards to the peak of Pisgah where God took Moses to heaven. There is Mount Tabor where God gave the victory to Deborah and Barak. Mount Gilboa is the place where King Saul and brave Jonathan died in battle with the Philistines. The city of David, Mount Zion, is in the heart of Jewish history in Jerusalem. It is also typified as the heavenly city. Mount Hermon is the highest mountain in the region, believed by many to be the mountain where Jesus was transfigured before Peter, James and John. Mount Carmel is the spot where God answered Elijah by fire.
