Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. This is day 38. Let's keep on going. We'll be reading today from Exodus chapter 19 and 20 from Leviticus chapter 13 and also Psalm 74 chapter 19 and 20.
We're going to continue journeying with the people of Israel, especially as the Lord reveals himself. even more deeply and entering into the covenant with Moses and with the people of Israel. But before that, the Bible translation that I am using is the revised standard version Catholic edition.

I think sometimes it's really helpful to look at the map before you get there. And sometimes for me, that Bible reading plan is like a map and I can see, okay, here's where we are. Here's where we've been. Here's where we're going to go. That can be really helpful. We're going to keep on trucking along as we read from Exodus chapter 19 and 20.
Exodus chapter 19 and 20.
On the third new moon, after the sons of Israel had gone forth out of the land of Egypt, on that day they came into the wilderness of Sinai. And when they set out from Rephidim and came into the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness. And there Israel encamped before the mountain. And Moses went up to God, and the Lord God called to him out of the mountain, saying,
Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob and tell the sons of Israel, you have seen what I did to the Egyptians and how I bore you on eagle's wings and brought you to myself. Now, therefore, if you will obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my own possession among all peoples. 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. So Moses came and called the elders of the people and set before them all these words which the Lord had commanded him. And all the people answered together and said, all that the Lord has spoken, we will do. And Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord.
