  1. Exodus 21-32

  2. Overview of the rest of the Book of Exodus: Exodus 19-34 Israel receives the preparatory gospel which includes the 10 Commandments. Exodus 25-31 40 days and nights, Moses received the higher law. Exodus 32 The children of Israel rebel against the preparatory gospel while Moses was receiving the higher law. Exodus 34-40 Moses received the Law of Moses

  3. The Mosiac Law: A Preparatory Gospel D&C 84:23-27 Mosiah 13:29-30 JST, Galations 3:8, 19 Galations 3:23-24 Alma 25:16; Revelation 19:10 When you study the law of Moses you can expect: 1. A witness of Jesus Christ and his atoning sacrifice. 2. Gospel principles illustrated in the laws given.

  4. Exodus 21:12-36 Some Case Laws That Clarify Principles: There is a difference between premeditated murder and accidental death, or manslaughter. Certain crimes were so serious that they required the death penalty: A. premeditated murder B. attempted murder of one’s parents C. kidnapping D. cursing one’s parents (to revile or violent approaches) E. killing a servant F. blatant neglect in the use of one’s property

  5. The seriousness of abortion is taught. If an abortion is caused by an accident it was to be punished severely. One can assume that deliberate abortion without justifiable cause was far more serious. One can steal from another by direct theft. Thus, if one steals physical wholeness from another, restitution has to be made. If one through neglect causes the loss of another’s property, restitution has to be made. The Law of Moses is therefore not a law of retaliation, but a law of reparation.

  6. Exodus 22:1-17 The Law Was Concerned with Making Restitution to the Offended Parties! First, the ratio of restitution was established: (five ox for one, four sheep for one) Restitution must calculate not only for the present and future value of a thing stolen, but also the specialized skills involved in its replacement. Theft could involve problems with respect to defense against the thief. If the thief cannot make restitution, he is to be sold into slavery in order to satisfy the requirement of restitution.

  7. The law specified the restitution required of a thief caught in the act, or caught before disposing of the stolen goods. The man who steals $100 dollars must restore not just the $100 but another $100 dollars as well. • Certain acts, whether deliberate or accidental, incur a liability which requires restitution. • Responsibility is determined for goods held in custody. Property deposited in the hands of another for safe keeping might be so easily embezzled by the trustee, or lost through his negligence, that some special laws were needed for its protection. • In a case of a rental, or a loan, certain principles of liability are at work. • Seduction is not only an offense against the seventh commandment, but also against the 8th, in that it involves robbing a girl of her virginity.

  8. In all these cases, there is not only judgment by God against the offender but also restitution to the offended. Restitution thus is closely linked to atonement, to justice, and to salvation (Rushdoony, Institutes of Biblical Law, 459-62).

  9. Exodus 24:1-8 Before Moses ever went into the Mount, Israel was instructed in the Law and covenanted to obey it. v.4 And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord. v.7 Now it was a binding commandment/ covenant because there had been a sacrifice.

  10. Exodus 24:1840 days and nights To receive the higher law! During his forty-day fast upon the mount, Moses received every detail needed for the construction of a tabernacle, a house of the Lord, where Israel could come and receive the keys of salvation and exaltation. The tie between this tabernacle and latter-day temples is unmistakable.

  11. Exodus 25:8 Make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. D&C 109:5 Build a house to thy name, that the Son of Man might have a place to manifest himself to his people.

  12. Exodus 25:10 “Shittim Wood” Desert acacia tree known throughout Egypt and the Near East because it was hard wood, endured well and also took a high polish, it was ideal for the construction of the tabernacle.

  13. Exodus 28:36Holiness to the Lord! It is on all temples today! Exodus 29:20 Washing and Anointings? Hearers will hearken (listen and obey), act and walk in His commandments, sanctified through the power of atoning blood of sacrifice. 36 sections in the Doctrine and Covenants begin the word “hearken.”

  14. Exodus 29:20 What is the meaning of touching the ear, thumb, and toe with blood? Done to individual to be consecrated, in order that the organ of hearing, with which he hearkened to the word of the Lord, and those used in acting and walking according to His commandments, might thereby be sanctified through the power of the atoning blood of the sacrifice (Keil and Delitzsch, Commentary, 1:2:387-88).

  15. Exodus 30 Coals were placed on the altar each morning and evening, symbolic of prayer and obtaining the presence of God.

  16. Exodus 31 Moses received the stone tablets! v. 18 And he gave to Moses when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

  17. Exodus 32 Israel rebels against preparatory gospel while Moses was receiving the higher law. Exodus 32:4 This is a legitimate attempt at Jehovah worship, not idol worship. Aaron was almost destroyed because of his involvement (Deut. 9:20). It is evident that Aaron intended that the true God should be the object of their worship through an idolatrous medium, the molten calf. Exodus 32:24 I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf! Exodus 32:28 The Levites destroyed 3,000 men!
