Mosaic Covenant: Holy, Sacred, Consecrate


Perhaps the most essential feature of the Mosaic Covenant is that it teaches one about the holy character of God. To be holy places an emphasis on God; something must be set apart or separated from the profane or unclean before it can come into the presence of God.


1. Learn the meaning of holy, sacred, and consecrate. Try using a dictionary!

For I am the Lord who brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. (Lev 11:45)


But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. (2 Tim 3:14-15, NIV)




2. How many years after the Abrahamic Covenant did God make a covenant with the nation of Israel? What does the former Pharisee Paul tell us in Galatians 3:16-17?

Moses said to the Lord, "The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, because you yourself warned us, 'Put limits around the mountain and set it apart as holy.'" (Ex 19:23)



For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. (Ex 20:11, NIV)



Make sacred garments for your brother Aaron to give him dignity and honor. Tell all the skilled workers to whom I have given wisdom in such matters that they are to make garments for Aaron, for his consecration, so he may serve me as priest. (Ex 28:2-3, NIV)
