What did God establish when He put Israel under the law?
Putting Israel under the law established a new economy: God set down the Ten Commandments, the priesthood, the temple and its ritual, and explicit instructions covering Israel’s spiritual and everyday life, including what they could and could not do and eat.
Les teaches that this was something totally different from anything that had happened in the previous fifteen hundred years. God put Israel under the law and set down the Ten Commandments, the priesthood, the temple, and all of its ritual. He told Israel by instruction explicitly everything they were to do. Whether in their spiritual life or in their everyday life of living, everything was now prescribed: what they could not do, what they could eat, and what they could not eat.
