This is the day that God told Israel that they were “his chosen people”, Moses went up the mountain for further instructions and God told him …..
“Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.
Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.
And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
With these few verses he tells them and of course all of us that are reading his words thousands of years later, that all of the people of the earth are his, since he is the “Creator”, but he wants the Israelites to be his “special treasure” and if they will keep his covenant, he would be pleased to value and esteem them.
They agree unanimously and immediately, who wouldn’t…..
Then all the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do.” – Exo 19
