The Law and the Land
Having delivered his people from Egypt, God continued to guide them. When they reached Mt. Sinai, God spoke to them and gave them the Ten Commandments to shape their worship and their relationships. This would set them apart to be his special people, "a kingdom of priests and a holy nation." But the people disobeyed God's ways and had to spend forty years wandering in the wilderness before reaching the border of the Promised Land. Moses was allowed to see it but not go in. Joshua led the people across the Jordan River and into the land God had promised them. God was with them every step of the way.
