Transcription: God held before them some wonderful guarantees. Prosperity, abundant crops, victorious armies, immunity from health problems. In effect, He agreed to remove most of the problems that people face in daily existence. In exchange, He asked that the Israelites obey the rules outlined in this and the next few chapters. God's original covenant with Abraham He now made formal and applied to a whole nation. This middle part of Exodus is known as the book of the covenant, for it contains the essence of the Israelites' treaty with God.
