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 and are 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, whether native and grafted in.
What lesson is hidden in Exodus 4;25? “But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin, and touched it to Moses’ feet. “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said.” Zipporah was the daughter of Jethro, a Midianite priest. What we can learn from this verse is Zipporah understood the covenant with Abraham better than Moses because Moses had not circumcised his son. If Moses is able to learn from Zipporah, why should women not be allowed to teach what they know today?

Thought for Today: Tuesday August 09:
YHVH is your Creator, Defender, Deliverer and Provider. May He inspire fresh, creative ways to make a living. May He defend you against the accusations of your critics. May He deliver you from the schemes of the enemy. And may He more than provide for all your needs. He is faithful. Rest in that assurance.
