The "Law of Moses," according to Ellen G. White's writings, refers to the statutes, judgments, and commandments given by God to Israel, primarily through Moses, especially at Mount Sinai. This law included the Ten Commandments as well as additional laws for the governance and education of the nation. Moses was instructed to recapitulate and record all these laws before Israel entered the Promised Land, emphasizing that obedience to these laws was the condition for their prosperity.
Ellen White describes the law as a transcript of God's character and the foundation of Israel's national life. It was to be taught diligently to children and served as the basis for true wisdom and understanding. The laws given to Moses were written in a book and preserved, along with the Ten Commandments, as the foundation of the covenant between God and Israel.
During their time in Egypt, the Israelites lost much of their knowledge of God's law, so God re-established it at Sinai. Importantly, the law of Moses was not just ceremonial; it included moral, civil, and health regulations, all designed for the well-being and prosperity of the people.
