The survey speeds up considerably with this section, where cover everything Mt. Sinai through Mt. Nebo and all points in between. In the future I think I might break up this section into two different units,  but I am not sure where I would split it. But there are so many key ideas here for futher biblical thinking and living that it seems important to spend more time on them.

1)     Exodus 19-Deuteronomy

a)     Plot

i)        Exodus 19-24 Giving of Law

ii)      Exodus 25-31, 35-40 Tabernacle

iii)    Exodus 32-34 Golden Calf

iv)    Leviticus 1-9 Sacrifices and Priesthood

v)      Leviticus 10 Nadab and Abihu

vi)    Leviticus 11-25, 27 Various Laws

vii)  Leviticus 26 Blessings and Curses

viii)Numbers 1-4 Census

ix)    Numbers 5-9 Various Laws

x)      Numbers 10-21 Traveling

xi)    Numbers 22-25 Balaam

xii)  Numbers 26-36 Second Census and Various laws

xiii)Deuteronomy 1-4 Historical Prologue

xiv) Deuteronomy 5-30 Sermon of Moses

xv)   Deuteronomy 31-34 Change of the Guard from Moses to Joshua

b)     Theological Themes

i)        Law is gracious but cannot be kept

ii)      Blessings and Curses of Mosaic Law

(1)   Explain the basis of the prophets condemnation of Israel

iii)    Messianic Promises

(1)   Balaam

(2)   Prophet Like Moses

iv)    Sacrifices

(1)   Price has to be paid

(2)   Substitute needed

v)      Presence of God with his people – Tabernacle

vi)    God is gracious and compassionate – Golden Calf episode

vii)  Loving God is central
