And these I call the remote preparations of the people for the receiving of the Law, ⟨p. 270⟩consisting in three Revelations of the Grace of God in Christ, happening and granted unto them, in the three months space, which they spent between the Red Sea and their coming unto the Wilderness of Sinai, or to the Mountain where they received the Law.
And these I call the remote preparations of the people for the receiving of the Law, ⟨p. 270⟩consisting in three Revelations of the Grace of God in Christ, happening and granted unto them, in the three moneths space, which they spent between the Red Sea and their coming unto the Wilderness of Sinai, or to the Mountain where they received the Law.
§ 29 The immediate preparations for giving of the Law are all of them expressed, Exod. 19. and these we shall briefly pass through, the most of them being insisted on, or referred unto by our Apostle in the places before mentioned.
First, The time of the Peoples coming unto the place where they were to receive the Law is related, v. 1. it was [Greek or Hebrew], novilunio tertio, in the third month after their coming up out of Egypt: That is, on the first day of the month, the month Sivan, on the day of the New Moon. And therefore it is added, [Greek or Hebrew] on the same day; on which Aben Ezra observes, Moses went up first into the Mountain to receive the commands of God, and returning on that day to the people, he went up again on the third day, that is the third day of the month to give in their answer unto the Lord, v. 11.16. And this fell out, if not on the day, yet about the time of Pentecost whereon afterwards the Holy Ghost descended on the Apostles enabling them to preach the Gospel, and therein our deliverance from the curse of the Law given at that time.
