And it is the same with me now. What he means by the old law is, the ten commandments. Now has the old covenant anything to do with the ten commandments; that is, does the passing away of the old covenant affect the existence of the ten commandments? Not unless the old covenant was the ten commandments.

But this Eld. That law, of course that regulated the priesthood. Is there anything about priesthood in the ten commandments?

Not a word. What was the law concerning the priesthood? For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. The law concerning the priesthood was that the priests should be taken only from the tribe of Levi; but our Saviour was from another tribe; hence when God made him a priest forever after the order of Melchisedec, it is evident that he thereby changed or set aside that law which confined the priesthood to the tribe of Levi.

Thus the priesthood being changed, there was of necessity a change also of the law; yet men with a marvelous obtuseness, will quote this testimony to show that the ten commandments have been changed! There are other component parts of the old covenant brought to view in Eld. It would be blasphemy to apply such language as this to the ten commandments, the only document we have, which God ever wrote with his own finger.

This time Eld. He might as well accuse of cannibalism; for all who know anything about us, know that it is no such thing; and those who do not, will not be foolish enough to believe it, even though a minister of the gospel be father of the charge. And if this is found to be really true, it will furnish an argument which will overthrow all that can be said in favor of Judaism on the seventh-day Sabbath. We will let him introduce the testimony which he claims proves this point, and then we will show that not a syllable of what was engraven on stones was included in the old covenant at all.

The quotations are lengthy, and the reader will perceive that they concern other questions a great deal more than they do the ten commandments. What did they contain?

Chronology: 1789–1794

And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone. And I turned myself, and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made, and there they be, as the Lord commanded me. Where was the ark then put? And thou shalt put the mercy-seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place. For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above. There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

For there was a tabernacle made, the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shew-bread; which is called the sanctuary. And thou shalt put the mercy-seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.

But into the second went the high priest once alone every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people. Hebrews , 7. At the commencement of the quotation just given, Eld. It is true that the ten commandments are called a covenant; and because there is testimony that some covenant has been done away, and there are scriptures which speak of the ten commandments as a covenant, our opponents put these two classes of scriptures together, and declare that the ten commandments have been done away. This is a very illogical method of reasoning.

Before they can offer such a conclusion, they should prove one of two things: either 1. That there was no other covenant but the ten commandments in existence, previous to the time when some covenant was done away, so that it must necessarily have been the ten commandments; or 2. That if there were other covenants in existence, the ten commandments are unmistakably the one which is pointed out as done away. But neither of these points are proved by them; and hence their conclusion is wholly illegitimate.

If scripture can be used in the way they use it, Eld. Let us then inquire briefly into the question of the covenants. What constituted the first covenant? What the second? Are the ten commandments the first, second, or neither? There are many definitions of the word covenant, and there are various kinds of covenants. What was the first covenant? Before answering this question we will offer a few words to show that it was not the ten commandments. The first covenant was made with Israel when they came out of Egypt; Hebrews ; but the ten commandments existed from the beginning and were binding on man from Adam down; and the principles of each one, especially the Sabbath, are revealed to us in the book of Genesis.

The first covenant had ordinances of divine service and a worldly sanctuary, Hebrews ; but the ten commandments say nothing about a sanctuary, or any system of worship. It must be evident to all that the covenant to which these things belong, must have something to say concerning them. The ten commandments have nothing to say, and hence are not that covenant. It matters not that the tables of stone were put into the ark, and the ark into the sanctuary; it was that system of worship of which the sanctuary and its services were a part, not the ten commandments.

The first covenant had a priesthood, and contained the laws regulating it, Hebrews ; but the ten commandments have nothing whatever to say about priesthood. This being true, there was not one of the ten commandments in that covenant, unless they came under the head of meats, drinks, divers washings and carnal ordinances. The first covenant was dedicated with blood Verse The ten commandments were not so dedicated. Moses spoke all the precepts of the first covenant; Hebrews ; but the ten commandments were spoken not by Moses, but by God himself from the summit of Sinai.

The first covenant was written in a look by Moses. Exodus , 7. The ten commandments were written with the finger of God upon two tables of stone. The first covenant provided blood which could, and did, take away sins in figure, but could not take them away in fact. Hebrews , 4.

The ten commandments said nothing about blood whatever. We might continue this contrast to a still greater extent; and every time, we should find by what is declared of the first covenant, that the ten commandments could not be that covenant.

What, then, did constitute that covenant? We have seen from the definition given of the word covenant, that it primarily signifies a mutual agreement between two parties up in mutual conditions. Do we find any agreement entered into between God and Israel when he had brought them out of the land of Egypt? We do. And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests and an holy nation.

They made mutual pledges to each other.

Now as this covenant was to make them a distinct and peculiar people from all the rest of the world, it must include that which made them thus distinct and separate. And what was that?

    • Their ordinances of divine service, their sanctuary and its ministration, in a word, the whole body of then ceremonial regulations. Read what Paul says in the book of Hebrews about the first covenant with this view, and there is harmony throughout, but read it with the idea that the ten commandments constituted that covenant, and we are involved at every step in utter contradiction.

    But the leader may be ready to inquire, what covenant the ten commandments are, or were, if they were not the first or old covenant; for they are plainly called a covenant. We answer. To prove this we introduce Exodus To keep his covenant was the same as to obey his voice. To obey his voice, was to observe that law which he uttered with his voice from Mt. Sinai, the principles of which had existed and were known from Eden down.

    And this language being used in reference to the ten commandments, shows that they are an independent covenant on the part of God, owing nothing of then existence to any action on the part of man, but some thing which God as the creator and ruler of the race, enjoins upon them to be obeyed.

    The ten commandments are doubtless called a covenant on account of the promises annexed to their faithful observance; for in keeping them, as the Psalmist says, there is great reward. We have now seen what constituted the old covenant, and what kind of a covenant the ten commandments are. We now inquire concerning the new covenant. The terms first and second, old and new, are only relative terms. The covenant introduced by Christ is called the second and the new, only because a covenant had preceded it, which was the first, and which having passed away is the old in distinction from the new which remains.

    This shows that these two covenants have reference to the same general principles; for a covenant referring to one object could not be a first or second, as related to another which referred to an entirely different object. Then the second covenant cannot be any thing which makes known sin or unrighteousness; for unrighteousness and sin existed before it, and the object of this covenant was to take away such sin.

    This will be apparent to all minds, yet Eld.
