Then God led the Israelites on through the wilderness. God told Moses to come to the mountain called Mount Sinai. From the top of the mountain, God spoke his Ten Commandments. Then He gave Moses two flat tables of stone that had the Ten Commandments written by the finger of God. The Ten Commandments tell everyone how to live so each one can love God and love each other.
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
God told the Israelites which animals are clean or good for food, such as cattle, sheep and goats. God told the people the ways to know which meat is good to eat. The animals must chew the cud and have cloven hooves. The fish that are good to eat must have fins and scales. That is how we know which meat is clean to eat.
“Do not eat blood or fat,” God told the people.
God commanded the people to keep His Sabbath and Holy Days to learn about His great plan for all people.
God gave the Israelites lots of laws so they would know how to stop sickness from spreading and how to be clean.
