Israel at Mount Sinai

1 In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on the same day, athey came to the Wilderness of Sinai.  
2 For they had departed from aRephidim, had come to the Wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness. So Israel camped there before bthe mountain.  
3 And aMoses went up to God, and the Lord bcalled to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:  
4 a‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how bI bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.  
5 Now atherefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and bkeep My covenant, then cyou shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is dMine.  
6 And you shall be to Me a akingdom of priests and a bholy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”  
7 So Moses came and called for the aelders of the people, and laid before them all these words which the Lord commanded him.  
8 Then aall the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do.” So Moses brought back the words of the people to the Lord.

Exodus

EXODUS, a "going forth," derives its name from its being occupied principally with a relation of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and the incidents that immediately preceded as well as followed that memorable migration. Its authorship by Moses is distinctly asserted by himself (Exodus 24:4), as well as by our Lord (Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Besides, the thorough knowledge it exhibits of the institutions and usages of the ancient Egyptians and the minute geographical details of the journey to Sinai, establish in the clearest manner the authenticity of this book.
