The Ten Commandment
Long before Sinai, God specially blessed Abraham, the “father
of the faithful” (Romans 4:11), because “Abraham obeyed My
voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and
My laws” (Genesis 26:5). So Abraham certainly understood and
obeyed the Ten Commandments.
Since the Ten Commandments were God’s holy and spiritual
laws, He proclaimed them with great power and, unlike the rest of
the covenant, wrote them with His own hand. Notice the setting
in Exodus 19. God commanded the people to clean themselves up
and be ready against the third day when He would come down to
them (vv. 10–11). “Then it came to pass on the third day, in the
morning, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a thick
cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very
loud, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled” (v.
16). God was here showing His power as the Creator of this earth
as He began to speak with His own voice the Ten
Commandments! As the Creator Himself descended upon Mount
Sinai in His glory, “Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace,
and the whole mountain quaked greatly” (v. 18).
In this setting of great glory and majesty and power, God
spoke the Ten Commandments to the people who were trembling
in awe below the mountain. His voice must have literally shaken
these people with its power as it boomed across the land like the
sound of thunder (Psalm 104:7).
