Moses said the Sinai covenant was made with everyone he was speaking to in Deuteronomy 5:1-5, but many of them hadn't been born yet when Israel stood at the foot of Mt. Sinai. The covenant is inherited by birth or adoption.
All those who come later, whether born into Israel or grafted in by faith, are considered to have stood at Sinai with that first generation of former slaves. The collective nation of Israel stood face-to-face with God at Sinai, and so did every individual Israelite who came after them.
The Sinai covenant is different than Abraham's covenant. Did the newer Sinai covenant cancel the older Abrahamic covenant? Of course not!
Although a new covenant might cover the same territory and thereby make the older one obsolete to one degree or another, it can never cancel the prior one. As Paul wrote, "Even with a man-made covenant, no one changes or cancels it once it is ratified."

Was the Sinai Covenant a marriage between God and Israel? The Bible consistently uses marriage as a metaphor of God's relationship with his people, but Sinai wasn't *literally* a marriage. God isn't a flesh-and-blood man, and Israel isn't a flesh-and-blood woman. They don't make actual babies together.

Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.
#proverbs 8:10-11
God's #wisdom is like silver and gold in its purity, like jewels in its clarity and depth. Wealth can be had by the application of wisdom, but money can't buy any more wisdom than is already available for free to those who make the time and effort to seek it out.
All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing twisted or crooked in them. They are all straight to him who understands, and right to those who find knowledge.
#proverbs 8:8-9
The words of #wisdom are clear and uncomplicated to those who understand them and who seek out knowledge of wisdom. The sayings of the wise might sound obscure, but the meaning behind them is plain once understood, like the solution of a riddle after the riddle has been solved.
There is a foolishness that adds unnecessary "nuance" and there is a foolishness that is so simple that it is animalistic. Wisdom takes the center road, walking deliberately with uncomplicated self-discipline.

"If I regard wickedness in mine heart, the Lord will not hear me.
But God hath heard me, and considered the voice of my prayer."
Ps 66
Exodus 20:3, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Sounds easy and straight forward, but even the faithful will stumble over this at times. Sometimes it may be another person, a job or a thing that comes between our Creator and ourself. There are many things in the world that will try to shift your focus away from our Creator, be wary and be wise.
