They believed that the giving of the commandments reaffirmed their covenant with god.
The Israelites believed that the covenant made with God at Mount Sinai, which established them as God's chosen people and laid out the guidelines for their relationship with Him, was reaffirmed by the giving of the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments were seen as a key part of this covenant, outlining the moral and ethical principles that the Israelites were expected to uphold.
The Israelite's believed that the giving of the commandments reaffirmed their covenant with god
they believed that god would protect them.
A covenant is an agreement, compact or contract between two or more parties. God defines all of the conditions. The people could only accept or decline God's offer. Most Hebrews followed it no matter their life is threaten. They believe in the ten commandments and the law of Moises.
God made a covenant with the Israelites symbolizing if they kept his commandments and obeyed him then he would give them the land that he promised Abraham or the land of Canaan and that he would also let them prosper and destroy their enemies. The blood of the sacrifices was the symbol of this covenant. This covenant lasted until he gave his only son, Jesus. Then he made a new covenant saying that if you believe him you will have eternal life.
yes they did believed that the Israelites believed that God delivered the ten commandments to them through moses because God did. He thought Moses would be more safer with the commandments then others.
It caused conflicts because the Israelite believed that god had given them this land in the covenant. However the people that settled there who were not Jewish did not believe in the covenant and thought that since the Israelite had left that it was now rightfully theirs. So the conflict erupted over who owned the land.AnswerActually, the Canaanites did believe in the Israelites' Divine covenant: see Joshua 2:9.
Well, the first thing to know about your question, is that the term "Hebrews" is considered a derogatory term. Hebrew is a language. "Ancient Israelites" are the people that we read about in the Hebrew Bible (also known as the Old Testament to Christians). Jews today consider themselves to be the direct descendants of the ancient Israelites. Ancient Israelites considered the Ten Commandments to be only 10 out of 613 commandments given in the first five books of the Bible, which they called the Torah. Although these were considered the most important commandments, because they were written directly by the hand of God Himself, it was important to obey all of the other 603, as well. When the ancient Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in the year 70 CE, it became impossible to carry out many of these commandments--and this was when the religion that is now known as Judaism was developed.
God gave the Torah on Mount Sinai to the entire assembled nation of the Israelites (Exodus ch.19-20). This event has no parallel in world history.
The Christians, or any religion that believes in the Christian God believe in his 10 commandments.Answer 2:The Ten Commandments were given by God to the Israelites, whom He led out of Egypt. Christians also believe in the Ten Commandments. Many of the basic laws of countries around the world have their roots in the Ten Commandments (e.g., Thou shalt not murder; Thou shalt not steal) but are NOT directly based on a particular religion, Christian or otherwise.
Well, isn't that a happy little question! The Israelites believed they were God's chosen people because they had a special covenant with God, where He promised to protect and guide them. They felt chosen to carry out His plan and be a light to the world. Just like a happy little tree standing tall in a beautiful landscape, they believed they had a unique purpose and connection with the divine.
There is the Oral Torah and the Written Torah. The Written Torah contain the 'mitzvot' which are often referred to as commandments but that's a poor translation. A better translation for mitzvah (singular) is guideline.
