Mosaic covenant

"Moses with the Ten Commandments" by Rembrandt (1659)

Abrahamic religions believe in the Mosaic covenant (named after Moses), also known as the Sinaitic covenant (after the biblical Mount Sinai), which refers to a covenant between the Israelite tribes and their God, including their proselytes, not limited to the ten commandments, nor the event when they were given, but including the entirety of laws that their patriarch Moses delivered from God in the five books of Torah.[1][2]

  2. ^ Exodus 20:8: "thy stranger that is within thy gates"
