The Torah Portion In A Nutshell
Yitro (or Jethro), Moses’ father in-law and a priest of Midian, arrives at the camp of the Israelites, bringing the wife and two sons of Moses back to him. He is then told about all of the incredible miracles of the exodus so far. After hearing these things, Yitro proclaims that the YHVH is truly greater than all other gods and makes a sacrifice to honour Him.
Yitro then observes that Moses has too great a burden, as the leader of Israel, for just one man to bear. He thus advises Moses to delegate leadership roles to honest, God-fearing men of integrity, in order to not tire himself out. Moses proceeds to appoint leaders over groups of thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens to deal with the smaller matters of the people.
The Israelites then camp at the bottom of Mount Sinai and Moses travels up the mountain to meet with God. After returning to the nation, Moses assembles the leaders to report to the people what YHVH has decreed. The people respond by saying “all that YHVH has spoken we will do”. After three days El Shaddai appears before the entire congregation, descending upon the mountain in an epic but harrowing display of smoke, fire and flashes of lightening, along with the devastating sound of God’s voice, the sound of a great shofar, that becomes louder and louder with each utterance. The people are commanded to stay away from the mountain lest they be destroyed by the awesome power of God.
After this magnificent and terrifying display, and the warning to the people against setting foot on the mountain, God delivers the ten commandments (or in Hebrew, ‘the ten words’) to His nation. Following this pronouncement from The Lord, the people demand that Moses speak to God for them, as they fear that should God continue to speak to them directly, they will die.
Join us this Shabbat for our teaching on YouTube, an in-depth and exciting look at how the relationship between Yitro and Moses, and the awesome events at Mount Sinai can teach us how to apply God’s Torah to our own lives today.
