Read Exodus 19 in the Bible

Exodus 19:1

This day.

◦ The first day of the third month the children of Israel came into the desert of Sinai. So counting 16. days remaining of the first month when they parted from Ægypt, all the second month of 30. days, this first day of the third month, and three days more, in which they were sanctified by washing and other ceremonies (v. 10.) the Law was given the fiftieth day, in figure of the Law of Christ, promulgated on Whitsunday, the fiftieth day after our Redemption. Whereby we see marvelous correspondence of divine Mysteries in the old and new Testament. S. Augustin. Epist. 119. c. 16.

  • ◦ Agreement of old and new mysteries.
