Joe: Alright, so what do we got here?

Bible Expert: Well, this is the 19th chapter of Exodus, and it's about the Israelites coming to Mt. Sinai.

Joe: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a second. Mt. Sinai? Is that the mountain where Moses got the Ten Commandments?

Bible Expert: That's right, Joe.

Joe: Jamie, Google that real quick and make sure that's true.

Jamie: Yeah, it looks like that's true, Joe.

Joe: Okay, okay, so what's going on in this chapter?

Bible Expert: So, God calls the Israelites to come up to the mountain and tells them that if they obey His voice and keep His covenant, then they will become a special treasure to Him and a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.

Joe: So they get the Ten Commandments and then what?

Bible Expert: Well, then Moses goes down to the people and tells them all that God has said and the people agree to obey all of God's laws. Then Moses takes some of the elders of Israel up the mountain with him to meet with God and they all come back down with the Ten Commandments.

Joe: That's wild! So the Ten Commandments are in this chapter?

Bible Expert: Yes, that's right.

Joe: Wow. That's pretty incredible. Anything else we should know about this chapter?

Bible Expert: Well, God also tells the Israelites to consecrate themselves for three days, and then on the third day, He will come down upon Mt. Sinai in the sight of all the people.
