Society for the people of Israel was organized by the Church of God in the wilderness of Sinai (Acts 7.38; Ps 21.23, 26; Heb 2.12).

Israel became the people of God. Or the Church by Testament, signed on at Sinai (Ex 19.1-6, Jer 31.31-32).

They promised to fulfill His Law, which he uttered his voice (Ex 19.5-8, Deut 4.12-13). They also pledged to keep His promise, which sin removed (Rom 11.27).

A Covenant with the condition and the promise was recorded in a book and held (Ex 24.3-8).

This bequest included all victims, establishing, rites and Ministry in the profigurative Sanctuary (Heb 9.1-7, 8.1-5).

 

The priests were to serve in the sanctuary and teach the people (Deut 33.8-10, Num 18.21).

Prophets, which put the God (and priests), transmitted to the people's will (Num 12.6, Am 3.7).

 

The Lord required the people to pay a tithe to support s ministry  (Lev 27.30-32, Num 18.21).
