As the people are at the base of Mount Sinai, God begins to speak to them His covenantal laws. It is here that we have what is called the Ten Commandments. These become foundational upon which God will set forth the rest (603) of His commandments in the Law of Moses (613 total commandments). But in the midst of God’s great display upon the mountain, the people become very afraid and asks Moses to relay God’s words to them.
After three months since the Israelites left Egypt, they finally arrive at Mount Sinai, where God had first spoken to Moses. God instructs Moses to offer them a unique covenantal relationship to Him; and they enthusiastically agree. He continues to tell Moses to tell the people to prepare to encounter Him in three days at the foot of the mountain. On the third day, God comes down from heaven in great power of presence and makes Himself known in the sight of all the people.
