Scripture reading from The Action Bible by Sergio Cariello.

Review

God’s Rules

God the suzerain of the universe would make Israel a nation by making a treaty with them. By means of their association with him as suzerain, Israel would become a nation—a vassal nation. —Sandra L. Richter, The Epic of Eden (p. 83)

1. Preamble/Title

2 I am the Lord your God, —Exodus 20:2a (NLT)

2. Historical Prologue

2 who rescued you from the land of Egypt, the place of your slavery. —Exodus 20:2b (NLT)

But the truth of redemptive history is that we obey because we have been loved; the stipulations follow the historical prologue. —Sandra L. Richter, The Epic of Eden (p. 85)

10 Commandments - Exod. 20:3-7

4. Periodic Reading

9So Moses wrote this entire body of instruction in a book and gave it to the priests, who carried the Ark of the LORD’s Covenant, and to the elders of Israel. 10Then Moses gave them this command: “At the end of every seventh year, the Year of Release, during the Festival of Shelters, 11you must read this Book of Instruction to all the people of Israel when they assemble before the LORD your God at the place he chooses. —Deut. 31:9-11 (NLT)
