  Three months after leaving Egypt, the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sinai and camped at the foot of the great mountain. The mountain rose like a mighty fortress from the desert floor, its peaks shrouded in mystery and majesty.

  Here, at this sacred place, God would give His people the laws that would guide them forever.

  The Call to Holiness

  Moses went up to God on the mountain, and the Lord called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’”
