At Mount Sinai, Yahweh made a covenant with Israel. He gave them His law. Unlike impersonal human law codes, God’s law came from His heart as a Father and was given to Israel, His son. He wanted them to obey out of gratitude for all He had done for them. The covenant at Sinai was a conditional one, meaning there were blessings for Israel’s obedience, but also curses, or discipline, if the nation broke the terms of the covenant. God was fully committed to His relationship with Israel and He viewed it so seriously that He put in place witnesses (the Law, Israel’s song [the national anthem] and “heaven and earth”), as well as prosecuting attorneys (the prophets).
