1 - 11 The Covenant Broken and Restored (continued)
Moses returns to the mountain where God helps him make a set of the Ten Commandments. The Lord tells Mosed to lead the people to the land God promised their ancestors.
12 - 22 The Essence of the Covenant
"So now, O Isreal, what does the Lord require of you? Only to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments of the Lord your God and his decrees that I am commanding you today, for your own well-being." (12 - 13) That sums things up pretty well.
Question of the Day: What does "circumcise the foreskin of your heart" (16) mean?

What comes to mind when I think about circumcision? (This is the first time I've really thought about it) I think it is "removing the ugly" or removing something useless. We have to ask God to change our hearts and accept His will for our life.
I've never really understood the significance of circumcision. Why aren't we born "circumcised"?
It doesn't seem, by reading, to be very hard to do what God requires of us...Fear God, live in a way that pleases Him, love Him, serve Him with all your heart and soul, and obey His commands.
I think the Jews weren't born circumcised because so they could undergo the procedure as a sacrifice.
