Here Steve, I guess you could not find the scriptures let me help....
Exodus 34:28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the
ten commandments.
Deuteronomy 4:13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even
ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.
Deuteronomy 10:4 And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the
ten commandments, which the LORD spoke unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me.
So God's LAW has 10 Commandments
not 613 or
9 commandments. There are
10 Commandment spoken and written with GOD'S OWN finger on two tables of stone. *EXODUS 20:1-17.
These are different to the MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT because they were the WORK of GOD ALONE and had a different purpose to the SHADOW laws of the MOSAIC BOOK of the COVEANANT. *EXODUS 32:16; EXODUS 24:7.
Together it was both God's 10 Commandments written with God's OWN finger on two tables of Stone and the Shadow laws from the MOSAIC BOOK of the covanant that made of the OLD COVENANT *EXODUS 34:28; EXODUS 24:7
(1)
God’s Law (10 commandments) pointed out what sin was and the penalty of sin which is death. It was never a cure for sin in the Old Testament as well as in the New. It only gives a knowledge of what sin is and righteousness (right doing) (Romans 3:20;
James 2:11;
Romans 7:7; 1
John 3:4; Rom 6:23; Ps 119:172).
(2)
The laws of Moses was the second set of laws and included all the civil, ceremonial, and ecclesiastical laws. These laws could not tell you what sin was this was the job of God’s Law, however the laws of Moses were the
prescriptive cure for sin in the Old Covenant. These laws included all the Levitical and ceremonial laws, sacrificial burnt offerings for sin, annual festivals and earthly sanctuary services for sin. These laws were the cure for sin so the sinner could be made right with God. These where all prophetic in nature, teaching the plan of salvation which pointing to Jesus as the true lamb of God and our great high priest and His Work on our behalf in the Heavenly Sanctuary. (
Leviticus 1; 3-12; 14-17; 22-23; Number 6-8; 15; 28-29;
Deuteronomy 12; 33;
Exodus 25:8;
John 1:29; 36;
Revelation 5:6;
1 Corinthians 5:6-7;
Hebrews 8:2-13; 9:1-28)
From the above it can be seen that God’s Law was written on stone and the laws of Moses in a book. God’s Law is forever and only points out what sin is but was never a cure for sin (
Romans 3:20; 1
John 3:4;
Romans 6:23).
The laws of Moses included all the ceremonial and ecclesiastical laws that were the cure for sin with all the sin offerings and earthly Sanctuary services, annual festivals and sin offerings which were prophetic in nature and temporary pointing to the life, death, resurrection of Jesus and his role as the true lamb of God and your great high priest to atone for our sins (
John 1:29; 36;
Revelation 5:6;
1 Corinthians 5:6-7;
Hebrews 8:2-13; 9:1-28). These were also included as part of the old covenant (Exodus 34:10-28;
Leviticus 1; 3-12; 14-17; 22-23; Number 6-8; 15; 28-29;
Deuteronomy 12; 33;
Exodus 25:8;
John 1:29; 36;
Revelation 5:6;
1 Corinthians 5:6-7;
Hebrews 8:2-13; 9:1-28)
Steve, your mixing up your shadow laws from the Mosaic book of the Covenant *EXODUS 24:7 with God's eternal law (10 commandments) that give us a KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL; SIN and RIGHTOUESNESS *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; PSALMS 119:172. It is the SHADOW laws from the MOSAIC book of the covenant that point to the new. God's 10 COMMANDMENTS have the same role they always had and that is to give is the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL; SIN and RIGHTEOUSNESS *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; JAMES 2:8-11; PSALMS 119:172.
Hope this helps.
