Since leaving th e land of Egypt, th e people of Israel had been traveling from one place to another, and now they had come to the place where God first spoke to Moses ou t of a burning bush. (Give children a chance to rela te th is incident.) All along th e way, th e people had been so wonderfully taken care of, and well fed, and God made th e ir clothes last for all th e trip , so th e ir shoes and clothes did no t w ear out. He had over come all th e ir enemies, and showed th a t He was God, and was strong and powerful, and th a t th e re was nothing too h ard for H im to do. God had been showing them th e w onderful things He could do, and now God is going to have these people stay h ere a t th e foot of th e mountain for a while, and teach them some of the th ing s He w ants them to know before they are ready to go to the land God had prom ised them . The name of th is mountain, is Mount Sinai, and we will try to rem ember it, for it is th e place where God gave th e com m andments to Moses. Commandments is a big word, b u t it is easy to und er stand, fo r it means the ru les to te ll the people w hat God wanted them to do.
