THE FIRST COVENANT WITH ISRAEL

 

God made a Covenant with Israel at Horeb  -  the Covenant that he made with his father: "the Lord our God has set us a testament to Horeb; not with our fathers put Lord Covenant, but with us here today, alive ( Deut 5.2-3 ).

The conditions were as follows:

- Israel must be the voice of God: to obey the law, that said by His voice ( Ex 19.5, Deut 4.12-13, Ex 20.1-17 )

- He had to maintain a Covenant-Covenant of peace, which is the sin of the human century ( Ex 19.5, Rom 11.27 )

God has promised that Israel will be a Kingdom of priests and a Holy nation ( Ex 19.6 ).  Israel promised to respect it  ( Ex 19.7-8 ).

 

After God gave the ten commandments and statutes, that bequeathed in  Exodus 20.18-26  and chapters  21-22-23, they were given to Moses, who said them out loud, and Israel again promised to perform them  ( Ex 24.3 ).

 

All but the Ten Commandments (in stone), was recorded in a book and is read through to Israel, and when the latter agreed to all this, the Covenant was signed and affixed with blood ( Ex 24.4-8, Heb 9.18-20 ).

Most of Israel entered into this Covenant as non-turned, because of this he has become a burden and yoke, and they soon had violated it, have given way to idolatry  ( Gal 4.24, Jer 31.31-34, Ex 32.1-8 ).

Therefore God promised a new Covenant with Israel ( Jeremiah 31.31-34 ).
