Jer 31:31-34 states the New Covenant as follows -
31 “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out...

The Firstfruits feast began while wandering in the wilderness, owning no land or crops. The people partook by faith that God would lead them to the promised land. It was forbidden to eat from the crop fields until the sheaf/omer offering had been lifted up unto the LORD (Lev 23:14)...
Levitical priestly order is established/begins here:
Lev 8:1-2 God tells Moses; get some anointing oil, vs 6 now wash (full mikveh/baptism) Aaron & his sons with water, vs 7-9 dress them up in Priestly garments, vs 12 put the anointing oil on Aaron's head, to sanctify/set him apart for Priestly...
The LAW of Moses includes the moral law of God which includes God's Commandments - God's Ten Commandments where "the first commandment with a promise" Eph 6:1-2 is the 5th commandment the one for Honoring parents. James 2:8-11 agrees that the TEN are included.
It also includes civil and...

When we study the Old Testament of the Bible, we must always read it in light of the New Covenant Relationship God now has with his people who believe in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of their lives. And, this particularly applies to when we read Old Testament and Old Covenant law, such as...
Ten Commandments begin in Eden - according to the Bible - and "Baptist Confession of Faith" and "Westminster Confession of Faith" and D.L. Moody and many others.

As we all know - "old covenant" was given in fact to Adam as "Obey and Live"
But when it comes to OT Israel at Sinai -- Paul says the "Gospel was preached to THEM (Israel at Sinai) - just as it was to US also " Heb 4:1
Yet Sinai was not an "individual" covenant (and the New Covenant is) . In...
This should be good.
Certainly it included the TEN - as a basic reading of the book of Exodus will show.
But not the "Old Covenant" . Details matter.

God's TEN Commandments are included in what the Bible calls the "Commandments of God"
(So then they are not the only parts of the OT that are included as the "Commandments of God" - but they are one of the laws included)

JESUS: and the Mosaic “Law”: FULFILLMENT and MISSIONS
Jesus the God-Man confirmed and clarified all of the Mosaic "Law",
i.e. the spiritual heart of which was Moses' "Big Ten”...
EXCEPT: "Remember the Sabbath Day and keep it Holy"...worshipping / rest on "Saturdays".
Under the "New Covenant"...
The NEW Covenant - as it is written in the actual Bible - is found in Jeremiah 31:31-33 and Hebrews 8:6-10.
Do you accept it - or reject it as applying to yourself today?
I claim to be a New Covenant Christian and at one time I thought all Christians would accept the New Covenant as applying...
