Beatings, Bush
Plagues, Passover
Water, Whingeing
Father-in-law, Fear
Case-law, Covenant

Calf, Cleft

Just think, you read about the 10 commandments and know that it was given after the Lord rescued the Israelites from Egypt since Exodus 20:2 says "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery". So, it wasn't because they were given the 10 commandments in order to be saved, but it all started after the Lord rescued/saved them from slavery, then the Lord gave the 10 commandments.

But, what happened before the 10 commandments? All THESE....
Beatings, Bush,
Plagues, Passover,
Water, Whingeing,
Father-in-law, Fear
That's a huge lot of what had happened before the 10 commandments were given. All that happened in the Lord's relationship with his people. Puts everything in perspective when reading the 10 commandments.

It's amazing the Lord's relationship with his people. If only people would want to know the Lord, if only people didn't assume they know the Lord...

Exodus 34:6-7
"The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and fourth generation"
