Hello, welcome to the Hyperlink episode for the Ten Commandments.

As we wrap up a series, we like to go digging back through our podcast archives and find

clips where we discussed similar ideas from different perspectives.

In the Ten Commandments series, we looked at the theme

of trusting in God's wisdom, which leads to life, instead of building a life on our own terms,

which usually leads to a lot of pain. Today, we're going to listen to three clips that explore

that theme. We'll first look at how the literary structure of the stories around the Ten Commandments

highlights humanity's severe reluctance to wait on God's commands.

In the second clip, we'll look at the Golden Calf story and how it relates to the Ten Commandments.

Lastly, we'll grab a clip from our Paradigm series in which we talk about how all of the Bible,

the laws, poems, the letters, are wisdom for us.

That's today on the show.

I'm your host, Michelle Jones.

Thanks for joining us.

Here we go.

The Ten Command Command Command. Thanks for joining us. Here we go. Let's start with a clip from the Exodus Scroll podcast series. In that series, we spend 12 episodes working through the literary structure of Exodus.

Israel is rescued from Egypt on the night of Passover. They travel through the wilderness for

three months, and then they end up at the foot of Mount Sinai. This clip is what happens

when they arrive at Sinai. Israel is given the 10 words,

that is, the 10 commandments, and then given 42 more commands. In this conversation, Tim takes us

through the literary structure of Exodus 19 through 24, how it's set up as a kiasm, or what John will end up visualizing as a double cheeseburger.

This clip comes from our episode titled, Testing at Mount Sinai.
