This is a trial episode of Lectionary Q for the Narrative Lectionary. Let us know what you think! This week's text is from Exodus 19:3-7; 20:1-17

Here are the questions for this week’s passage:

• Why is the memory of God’s actions for the Israelites so important to God?

• Is the first commandment found in verse 2 (I am the Lord your God) or verse 3 (you shall have no other gods)? Does it matter?

• Why was keeping the sabbath so important to God? What did their enslavement have to do with sabbath?

• Why would God punish the children of the parents who sinned against God?

• How would you describe the word covenant? What did it mean to the Israelites? What does it mean to us as Christians now?

• What did it mean that the Israelites would be a treasured possession?

What are your answers? What are your questions? Send them to lectionaryq@substack.com.
