Exodus 20:18 - 21:11
ExodusSteve Gregg
In Exodus 20:18-21:11, the Israelites react with fear to God's power and commands at Mount Sinai. The Book of the Covenant in Exodus 21-23 reveals God's ideas about justice in society, with a focus on treating slaves humanely and respecting women's rights in marriage. Though some of the biblical laws regarding physical discipline and polygamy seem strange to modern society, they provide insight into God's perspective on justice and respect for human life. Christians should not mistake the New Testament's emphasis on personal salvation as an indication that God no longer cares about justice, as it remains a core theme in Christ's program for establishing his kingdom.
