Chapter 34 of Exodus relates the renewal of the covenant of God with Moses and the children of Israel after the Golden Calf episode. The chapter includes the proclamation of the commandments of the covenant, as well as instructions for the worship and observance of the Sabbath. Here are five verses related to the topics addressed in Exodus 34:
Deuteronomy 7:9: "Know, therefore, that the Lord, His God, is God; He is the faithful God, who holds the covenant and goodness for a thousand generations of those who love and obey Him in their commandments." This verse highlights God's faithfulness to maintain his covenant with the people of Israel, one of the main messages in chapter 34.
Leviticus 19:3: "Each of you must have reverence for your mother and your Father and obey my Saturdays. I am the Lord, your God." Sabbath observance is an important theme in Exodus 34, and this verse of Leviticus reinforces the importance of this commandment.
Deuteronomy 4:23: "Be careful not to forget the covenant that the Lord, your God, has made with you; do not do to themselves idols of any kind as a figure of men or women." Chapter 34 of Exodus includes a warning against idolatry, and this verse of Deuteronomy reinforces the importance of obeying this commandment.
Psalm 25:10: "All the ways of the Lord are love and faithfulness to those who fulfill their precepts and their covenants." This verse highlights the importance of obedience to God's commandments, one of the main messages of Exodus 34.
Jeremiah 31:33: "This is the covenant I will do with the community of Israel after those days," says the Lord. "I will put my law in their heart and write it into their hearts. I will be their God and they will be my people." This verse highlights the importance of God's law and obedience to it, as well as the promise of a new covenant with the people of Israel.
