Where did Moses meet God to receive God's laws?

No doubt it was the same Law God had given to Abraham - the ultimate example of true obedience to the law which God would say, Abraham 'kept my requirements (mismarti), my commands (miswotay), my decrees (huqqotay) and my laws (wetoratay) Genesis 26:5. Now compare the Law given to Moses in Deuteronomy 11:1, 'Love the Lord your God and keep his requirements (mismato), his decrees (huqqotayw), his laws (mispatawy) and his commands (miswotayw)'...


Why was it necessary for God to create the ten commandments?

In ancient times, laws were only as effective as the ruler who promulgated them, so the best laws were those based on religion. The Ten Commandments were the most important of many commandments in the Hebrew Bible and were written down as having been received from God, thus ensuring their absolute observance by the faithful. The Ten Commandments is a mix of codes to ensure proper religious observance, and rules for harmonious society.A:Whether the Ten Commandments are really of divine origin depends on whether the biblical Exodus from Egypt is historically true. On this, the strong consensus of biblical scholars is that there never was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, in which case the story of Moses receiving the Ten Commandments from God can not be historical. There is no evidence that the Ten Commandments ever existed outside the Bible. They belong to traditions put down in writing during the middle centuries of the first millennium BCE. The first four commandments focus on religious observance. In fact the first three commandments are essentially different ways of saying to worship no other god. The remaining six commandments focus on some rules for a harmonious society. We need not regard them as rules for strict moral conduct because, for example, the tenth commandment says not to do not covet that which belongs to your neighbour, including his wife and slaves. We no longer think of wives as mere chattels, and ownership of slaves is now considered morally repugnant.The Ten Commandments hold a more honoured place in Christian religion than in modern Judaism. For Jews, although important, they are ten of the many important biblical laws they must obey. For Christians, the Ten Commandments are at the heart of the Old Testament.


What does the Old Testament focus on?

The Old Testament focuses on the history and religious teachings of the Israelites, including their relationship with God, their laws and commandments, and their journey as a nation. It contains important narratives about creation, the patriarchs, prophets, and the covenant between God and the people of Israel.


What does Deuteronomy chapter 28 mean?

Tradition attributes the authorship of the Book of Deuteronomy to Moses, but scholars attribute the book, or most of it (including chapter 28), to an anonymous author now known as the Deuteronomist, writing during the seventh-century-BCE reign of King Josiah in Jerusalem.Leading up to chapter 28 is a list of commands to be followed. The first part of chapter 28 offers blessings to those who follow those commandments, then the second half of the chapter is a matching list of curses for those failing to do so (from 28:16: Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field ...).


Who is Yhwh and why are they important in the Old Testament?

YHWH is the personal name of God in the Hebrew Bible. It is considered sacred and is often translated as "LORD" in English translations. YHWH is important in the Old Testament as the one true God of Israel who establishes a covenant with the Israelites and guides them throughout their history.

If the Jewish people originated in Northern Africa is it true then that African Americans are descendants of the original Israelites?

Well, there's no such thing as "original Israelites"; the Israelites still are the same people, but not always recognized as such. However, even if one isn't born an Israelite, they can still be one of His people if they keep His statutes and obey His commandments. Those considered African Americans are certainly descendants of Israelites of past. (Considered is stressed because Israelites were not Africans just because they had dark skin colors.)

The Ten Commandments of the ancient Hebrews has had the greatest influence on the development of western?

Only partially true. To explain: Christ Jesus stated that the whole Law given to the ancient Hebrews, could really be summed-up & condensed into just two laws: 1st) You must love Jehovah God with your whole heart, soul, and mind and strength; and 2nd) You must love your neighbor as yourself. Actually it is these 2 laws (not just the 10 commandments) that form the basis for the greatest influence upon True Christians, not just in the Western world; but upon True Christians all around the globe.
