Jehovah entirely ignored this worldly-wise organization, substituting
His own order.

[2] {In the third month}
At Sinai Israel learned the lessons: (1) of the holiness of Jehovah
through the Commandments; (2) of their own sinfulness and weakness
through failure; (3) and of the goodness of Jehovah through the
provision of priesthood and sacrifice. The Christian learns through
the experience of
# Ro 7:7-24
what Israel learned at Sinai. This division of Exodus should be read
in light of
# Ro 3:19-27 7:7-24 Ga 4:1-3
# Ga 3:6-25
explains the relation of the law to the Abrahamic Covenant: (1) the
law cannot disannul that covenant; (2) it was "added" to convict os
sin; (3) it was a child-leader unto Christ; (4) it was but
preparatory discipline "till the Seed should come."

[3] {Thus shalt thou say}
It is exceedingly important to observe: (1) that Jehovah reminded the
people that hitherto they had been the objects of His free grace; (2)
that the law is not proposed as a means of life, but as a means by
which Israel might become "a peculiar treasure" and a "kingdom of
priests"; (3) that the law was not imposed until it had been proposed
and voluntarily accepted. The principle is stated in
# Ga 5:1-4

[4] {if ye will obey}
(Cf)
# 1Pe 2:9 Re 1:6 5:10
What, under law, was condition, is under grace, freely given to every
believer. The "if" of v. 5 is the essence of law as a method of
divine dealing, and the fundamental reason why "the law made nothing
perfect"

covenants minister salvation and assurance because they impose but
one condition, faith.

[1] {we will do}
The Fifth Dispensation: Law. This dispensation extends from Sinai to
Calvary--from Exodus to the Cross. The history of Israel in the
wilderness and in the land is one long record of the violation of the
law. The testing of the nation by law ended in the judgment of the
Captivities, but the dispensation itself ended at the Cross. (1)

(2) His responsibility
