You!”

Treaty

Strong over Weak

Made Out of Distrust

Unilateral

Imposed Upon One

“What You Will Do

For Me!”

“Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then

you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation...’

Exodus 19:5-6

The Purpose of the Sinai Covenant

“Now, O Israel, listen to the statutesand the judgments which I teach you to observe, that you may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers is giving you.”

Deuteronomy 4:1

Purpose of the Deuteronomy Treaty

“But it shall come to pass, if you do not

obey the voice of the Lord your God, to

observe carefully all His commandments

and His statutes which I command you

today, that all these curses will come

upon you and overtake you:…. Deut 28:15

….then the Lord will scatter you among

all peoples, from one end of the earth to

the other, and there you shall serve other

gods, which neither you nor your fathers

have known - wood and stone.” Deut 28:64
