Why does Exodus 19 come before Exodus 20? Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferdecker, and Cameron Howard turn to Exodus 19:3-7 and 20:1-17 for the Narrative Lectionary on October 11, 2026. At Mount Sinai, God names Israel a priestly kingdom and a holy nation before a single commandment is given. The covenant comes first, and the law shows how to live it out.
