Law Given AT Sinal (19:124:18)  This is the section of Exodus which contains the familiar Ten Commandments. Chapter 19 begin the last half of the book which we have called worship ( Chart 15 ) . Worship is intimately related to law. For, to worship is to acknowledge a higher authority, and there is no authority where there is no law. So after God delivered His people from bondage, He began to spell out in detail how they should worship Him publicly, privately, and even in everyday living. These instructions were His laws. There importance to Israel is seen by the space devoted to them in the Pentateuch:about half of Exodus, most of Leviticus, the first part of Numbers, and much of Deuteronomy.
