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 (Romans 7:7-24) what Israel learned at Sinai. This division of Exodus should be read in light of; (Romans 3:19-27); (Romans 7:7-24); (Galatians 4:1-3); (Galatians 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 of sin;
(3) it was a child-leader unto Christ;
(4) it was but preparatory discipline "till the Seed should come."
