Introduction to the Mosaic Law

The Mosaic Law refers to “the statutes and ordinances and laws which the LORD established between Himself and the sons of Israel through Moses at Mount Sinai” (Lev. 26:46).  The Mosaic Law reflects God’s righteous character; therefore, “the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good” (Rom. 7:12).  The Mosaic Law measured Israel’s performance under the Mosaic Covenant and was the basis for blessing or cursing (see Deut. 28).
