Sisters and Brothers,
After stating ten commandments, the scripture continues to stat the law of the Lord in every prospect, trusts, loans, social order, religious rules, reward of fidelity.
Many description may sounds odd today. However, by considering the society back them, many rules start to make sense. The meat of these scripture is not necessary the exact content but the spirit behind them. Have we completely put our trust in Lord and let the Holy spirit to lead us and understand this part of passage? Easy say than done, of course.
Chapter 24 starts to describe all the rituals. The first is the ratification of the covenant. And God handed Moses the stone tablets. The stone tablet contains God's commandments and instruction. Sadly, we don't have such stone tablet today. It would have been a beautiful symbol of God' law and powerful proof of God's commands. And luckily, we have the Bible that everyone can read and follow. Let's read, mediate, and live God's command as Bible say so.
in Christ,
Dan
