Moses led them across the hot sands to Sinai, a gigantic volcanic mountain in the Arabian desert. Here they camped and began a life of learning what it means to be God’s people instead of Pharaoh’s. Here they would discover how to live as free people and not as slaves. Discover what it means to live by faith and not by works. Discover what it means to live under the provident blessing of God and not under the tyranny of Pharaoh. For four centuries they had been building grandiose pyramid tombs to hold a few mummified corpses. Now they would go to work building a living community of faith.
