									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Israel’s freedom came before Sinai: God rescued the people from oppression before asking them to live by the law. Thus, obedience was not a price paid for compassion or protection but a response to grace. Far from being merely a burden, the law marked Israel as a people specially known and guided by God. The two tablets may reflect ancient&hellip;</p>
