It's the first day since escaping the land of Egypt. I'm very scared, yet curious about what there is ahead of us. After walking for countless amounts of hours, we finally decided to stop. The place where Moses decided to stop was Mt. Sinai. He explains to us how this mountain seems suspicious because it was sunny outside, yet in the location of the mountain it was very dark. Then, out of nowhere, a huge lightning bolt struck the tip of the mountain. Thunder roared like a starving tiger, and all the people became extremely frightened. As for Moses, he became excited because he heard God speaking to him. He started climbing the mountain and everyone was shouting at him to get down because of this mysterious storm. However, Moses did not listen and he continued to climb. Once he reached the top, God gave Moses a plaque made out of stone. Moses told the rest of us to come up with him, but no one wanted to. Therefore, God came down with Moses because he wanted to speak to all of us. God told us that the plaque he gave Moses were the ten commandments and if we followed them, we would represent God to the rest of the world. He also told us that we must find a way to build a tabernacle because he wants to be present with us throughout our journey toward the Promised Land. God then disappeared and we were left dumbfounded. Moses told us to rest up for today and tomorrow we would start on the construction of the tabernacle. Well, I'm going to get some rest and hopefully, these next few days will be successful ones.
