Verse Takeaways

The Written Covenant
Commentators highlight that the covenant was not a vague agreement. Moses wrote God's specific laws and promises (Exodus 20:22–23:33) in a book and read them aloud. The people's repeated affirmation shows a formal, deliberate acceptance. As Matthew Henry notes, this establishes a pattern of God governing His people through a clear, written word, ensuring they understand the terms of the relationship.
