THE TORAH
EXODUS
SHEMOT
The book of Exodus, known as Shemot in Hebrew, is the second book of the Torah. It continues the narrative of the Israelites’ journey and their development as a nation after the book of Genesis.
The book of Exodus chronicles the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, the revelation of the Ten Commandments and the establishment of the covenant at Mount Sinai, and the journey towards the Promised Land. It highlights the leadership of Moses, the miracles performed by G-d, and the development of the Israelite nation as a chosen people.

Coming To The Presence Of G-d Requires You To Be Proper
Unlike Some Preachers in Casual Clothing With Ripped Jeans Ministering To People About G-d Clearly Has No Respect And Reverence To G-d’s Holiness
Another instance is not having a Bible App on your phone or electronic devices
Some say, since the phone is used for other purposes, it is not proper to have a Bible along with it.
Huh?
Case and point, we used the same mind, eyes, ears and mouth to do other purposes as well.
“Reaching Sinai”
“The Proposal of G-d”
“Preparation for the Torah”
“The Day of the Revelation”
‘You have seen what I did to Egypt, and that I have borne you on the wings of eagles and brought you to Me.
19:4
And now, if you hearken well to Me and observe My covenant, you shall be to Me the most beloved treasure of all peoples, for Mine is the entire world.
:5
You shall be to Me a kingdom of ministers and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the Children of Israel.”
:6
The entire people responded together and said, “Everything that Hashem has spoken we shall do!” Moses brought back the words of the people to Hashem.
:8
Hashem said to Moses, “Behold! I come to you in the thickness of the cloud, so that the people will hear as I speak to you, and they will also believe in you forever.” …
:9
Let them be prepared for the third day, for on the third day Hashem shall descend in the sight of the entire people on Mount Sinai.
:11
You shall set boundaries for the people roundabout, saying, ‘Beware of ascending the mountain or touching its edge; whoever touches the mountain will surely die.
:12
All of Mount Sinai was smoking because Hashem had descended upon it in the fire, its smoke ascended like the smoke of the furnace, and the entire mountain shuddered exceedingly.
:18
The sound of the shofar grew continually much stronger; Moses would speak and God would respond to him with a voice.
:19
Hashem descended upon Mount Sinai to the top of the mountain; Hashem summoned Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses ascended.
:20
Hashem said to Moses, “Descend, warn the people, lest they break through to Hashem to see, and a multitude of them will fall.
:21
Even the Kohanim who approach Hashem should be prepared, lest Hashem burst forth against them.”
:22
Moses said to Hashem, “The people cannot ascend Mount Sinai, for You have warned us, saying, ‘Bound the mountain and sanctify it.’”
:23
1 In the third month of the children of Israel’s departure from Egypt, on this day they arrived in the desert of Sinai.
2 They journeyed from Rephidim, and they arrived in the desert of Sinai, and they encamped in the desert, and Israel encamped there opposite the mountain.
3 Moses ascended to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain, saying, “So shall you say to the house of Jacob and tell the sons of Israel,
4 You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and [how] I bore you on eagles’ wings, and I brought you to Me.
5 And now, if you obey Me and keep My covenant, you shall be to Me a treasure out of all peoples, for Mine is the entire earth.
6 And you shall be to Me a kingdom of princes and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
7 Moses came and summoned the elders of Israel and placed before them all these words that the Lord had commanded him.
8 And all the people replied in unison and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we shall do!” and Moses took the words of the people back to the Lord.
9 And the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I am coming to you in the thickness of the cloud, in order that the people hear when I speak to you, and they will also believe in you forever.” And Moses relayed the words of the people to the Lord.
10 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and prepare them today and tomorrow, and they shall wash their garments.
11 And they shall be prepared for the third day, for on the third day, the Lord will descend before the eyes of all the people upon Mount Sinai.
12 And you shall set boundaries for the people around, saying, Beware of ascending the mountain or touching its edge; whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.’
13 No hand shall touch it, for he shall be stoned or cast down; whether man or beast, he shall not live. When the ram’s horn sounds a long, drawn out blast, they may ascend the mountain.”
14 So Moses descended from the mountain to the people, and he prepared the people, and they washed their garments.
15 He said to the people, “Be ready for three days; do not go near a woman.”
16 It came to pass on the third day when it was morning, that there were thunder claps and lightning flashes, and a thick cloud was upon the mountain, and a very powerful blast of a shofar, and the entire nation that was in the camp shuddered.
17 Moses brought the people out toward God from the camp, and they stood at the bottom of the mountain.
18 And the entire Mount Sinai smoked because the Lord had descended upon it in fire, and its smoke ascended like the smoke of the kiln, and the entire mountain quaked violently.
19 The sound of the shofar grew increasingly stronger; Moses would speak and God would answer him with a voice.
20 The Lord descended upon Mount Sinai, to the peak of the mountain, and the Lord summoned Moses to the peak of the mountain, and Moses ascended.
21 The Lord said to Moses, “Go down, warn the people lest they break [their formation to go nearer] to the Lord, to see, and many of them will fall.
22 And also, the priests who go near to the Lord shall prepare themselves, lest the Lord wreak destruction upon them.”
23 And Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot ascend to Mount Sinai, for You warned us saying, Set boundaries for the mountain and sanctify it.’ “
24 But the Lord said to him, “Go, descend, and [then] you shall ascend, and Aaron with you, but the priests and the populace shall not break [their formation] to ascend to the Lord, lest He wreak destruction upon them.”
25 So Moses went down to the people and said [this] to them.

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
