This is a trial episode of Lectionary Q for the Narrative Lectionary. Let us know what you think! This week's text is from Exodus 19:3-7; 20:1-17
Here are the questions for this week’s passage:
* Why is the memory of God’s actions for the Israelites so important to God?
* Is the first commandment found in verse 2 (I am the Lord your God) or verse 3 (you shall have no other gods)? Does it matter?
* Why was keeping the sabbath so important to God? What did their enslavement have to do with sabbath?
* Why would God punish the children of the parents who sinned against God?
* How would you describe the word covenant? What did it mean to the Israelites? What does it mean to us as Christians now?
* What did it mean that the Israelites would be a treasured possession?
What are your answers? What are your questions? Send them to lectionaryq@substack.com.
