The Bible describes the Sinaitic Covenant as a binding agreement God made with Israel at Sinai, emphasizing obedience and the role of Moses as mediator.
The Sinaitic Covenant, established in Exodus 19-24, is a pivotal moment in biblical history where God made formal promises to the nation of Israel. It is a covenant characterized by blessings contingent upon the obedience of the people. In Exodus 19:5-6, God promises that if Israel obeys His voice and keeps His covenant, they will be a 'peculiar treasure' and a 'kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' This covenant signifies God's desire to set apart Israel for Himself, demonstrating His sovereignty and faithfulness as He leads them out of Egypt and into a relationship with Him. The Israelites, led by Moses, agreed to obey the Lord's commands, initiating their unique role in salvation history.
