How did the Israelites formally enter into the covenant at Mount Sinai?

  1. By performing a ritual sacrifice
  2. By agreeing to the Ten Commandments and the Book of the Covenant ✓
  3. By observing a ceremonial meal
  4. By erecting a new altar

Explanation

At Mount Sinai, Moses read the Law to the people and they said they would obey everything God commanded. This agreement sealed the covenant between God and Israel.

While sacrifices and meals were part of the ceremony, the formal agreement happened when the people promised to follow the commandments. Their spoken commitment made it official.

This covenant set the rules for how Israel would live as God’s chosen people.
