Exodus 23: Do not spread rumors nor help the wicked
as a false witness. Do not follow the crowd of majority to do wrong or
favor the opinion of the crowd against the poor to pervert justice. Assist you
neighbors in always, even they that do not like you. Do not put the
innocent to death based on false charges because God punishes the guilty and do
not deny the poor justice. Reject bribes because it influences the
truth negatively and do not oppress immigrants. Work your fields for 6
years, but in the 7th year, let the poor have the land and let the wild animals
eat from it. No work on the 7th day so that both the animals and
employees can rest. Follow God and not any other gods. God sent an angel to
lead the Israelites to the promised land and they are to obey, not rebel
against the angel because he will not forgive any rebellion. If they obey
the angel, God will be enemies to their enemies and give them the promised land
by eliminating those who live there. Do not worship their gods, but destroy
their scared stones to pieces, and God will bless your food and water. God
will also remove sickness, miscarriages, barrenness, and give a full life span.
Exodus 24: God called Moses up and he told God that the people have
agreed to do all that God had commanded and Moses wrote down all that God had
said to the people. Moses then build altar by the foot of the mountain for
God's sacrifice and he set up 12 stones to represent the 12 tribes of Israel.
Moses took half the blood from the offering to sprinkle on the altar and the
other half he put in bowls. After reading the book of the covenant to the
people and the people agreed, Moses then sprinkled the blood in the bowls on the
people and said it was the blood of the covenant between God and the people in
observing God's laws (Jesus will be the human sacrifice centuries later). Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and 70 elders of Israel
went up to see God. He soon left the leaders at a point and took only
Joshua as his aide further up with him. God called him up to get a tablet
of stones with the laws and command of God, and Moses stayed with God on the
mountain for 40 days.

Exodus 25:
God told Moses to receive a free-will offering from the people on his behalf
. God would accept precious metal, linen, goat hair, ran skin dye, olive
oil, anointing oil, and acacia wood among others. God told the people to build a
place for him following the pattern God showed Moses, so that God could dwell
among the people. So the Ark of the Covenant was build for God. This
included a table and a lampstand.
