Q1. Ratifying the Old Covenant


Recommended Posts

Q1. (Exodus 24:3-11) How was the covenant with Israel ratified? What promise did the people make twice in this passage? What was sacrificed? What was sprinkled? What was eaten?

The covenant with Israel was ratified with a sacrifice ...meal. The promise that the people made

twice was To give love and allegience to God only. They broke this promise while Moses was on the

mountain the first time they were worshiping a golden calf. Then God forgave them and he gave the

tablets to them thru moses again. They sacrificed bulls and then the blood was sprinkled on the altar,

and on the people. Then the Elders went up with moses and saw god and ate of the sacrifice in a

meal and ratified the covenant they saw God and lived. Part of the meat of the bulls was eaten in the

fellowship meal with God . Moses and the Elders ate. ;)

The covenant with Israel was ratified by Moses building an altar at the foot of the mountain and setting up twelve stone pillars. These pillars represented the twelve tribes of Israel. Then Moses sent young Israelite men and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as fellowship offerings to the Lord. Half of the blood Moses put in bowls and the other half he sprinkled on the altar. He then took up the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people, and they all responded; ''We will do everything the Lord has said and we will obey.'' After, Moses the took the blood, sprinkled it on the people and said, ''This is the BLOOD OF THE COVENANT that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words''

Twice the people promised to do ''Everything the Lord has said and obey''.

Young bulls were sacrificed.

The bulls blood was sprinkled.

The bulls were then eaten as this was the sacrificial meal offered in fellowship in God's presence.

The covenant with Israel was ratified with a commitment and sprinkling of blood (the blood of the covenant). The people promised that they would do everything God asked of them - that they would obey Him. Young bulls were sacrificed, blood was sprinkled, meat was eaten.

The covenant with Israel was ratified by the blood of an animal (young bull).

The promise that they make (vv 3,7)was; "We will do everything the Lord said, we will obey"

A young bull was killed as sacrifice and its blood was sprinkled in the altar and to the people. After God showed himself to the leaders and elders of Israel, they ate and drunk. It was not specific what was the type of meal they ate but I understand it is a covenant meal.

Exodus 24:3-11 - When Moses went and told the people all the LORD's words and laws, they responded with one voice, "Everything the LORD has said we will do." Moses then wrote down everything the LORD had said. He got up early the next morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain and set up twelve stone pillars representing the twelve tribes of Israel. Then he sent young Israelite men, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as fellowship offerings to the LORD. Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and the other half he sprinkled on the altar. Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people. They responded, "We will do everything the LORD has said; we will obey." Moses then took the blood, sprinkled it on the people and said, "This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words." Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of sapphire, clear as the sky itself. But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank.

How was the covenant with Israel ratified? Signs, a solemn oath, sacrifice and a meal.

What promise did the people make twice in this passage? They will do everything God said and obey. Verse 3 -"Everything the LORD has said we will do." and verse 7- "We will do everything the LORD has said; we will obey."

What was sacrificed? Young bulls

What was sprinkled? Blood

What was eaten? Most likely the bulls

By sacrifice, sprinkling of blood and eating.

To do as the Lord tells them to.

These verses mention a burnt sacrifice and a peace offering.

A burnt sacrifice was herd/sheep/goat/poultry - which was burnt completely (Lev. 1).

A peace offering was herd/sheep/goat - of which only the fat and kidneys were burned (Lev. 3).

The blood was sprinkled around the altar (Lev. 3:2, 8, 13).

Now in Exodus a bull was offered.

Blood was sprinkled around the altar and on the people.

I guess they eat the meat.

The people were told what God wanted and expected from them, they agreed, an altar was built to offer burnt offerings and animals were sacrificed as fellowship offerings to the LORD; like having a meal with HIM.  Moses read the Covenant and sprinkled blood on the altar and the people.  He then along with the priests and elders went and saw GOD, and ate and drank.  Twice the people said that “they would do everything the LORD said for them to do”.  Animals (bulls) were sacrificed, blood was sprinkled, and the meat was eaten; sealing the covenant between GOD and man.

The covenant with Israel was God will be with Israel and lead them on their journey.  He would protect them and provide for and bless them.  Two times the people promised to love and pledge their allegiance to the one God.  They also promised to obey His Commandments.  They sacrificed young bulls.  Moses took half of the blood and put it into bowls.  The other half he sprinkled onto the altar.  Moses read the Book of the Covenant to the people.  Moses, Aaron, Nadab and Abihu and seventy of the elders went up and saw God.  They ate and drank with God.

The covenant between God and the Israelites was the Ten Commandments. The people stated that they would obey all of the laws that God put before them. They would do everything that God has asked them to do. As part of the covenant, the Israelites took young bulls and sacrificed them. The blood was drained and sprinkled on the alter and on the people. Then Moses and the elders made their way up the mountain and ate in the presence of God to seal the covenant.
