The Book of Exodus and The Sermon on the Mount, both depicts God's relationship with the Hebrew people. However, although each reading reflects the ways God taught the Ancient Hebrews and early Christians to follow Him; there is vastly different method of teaching that he used. God interaction with His people affected the ways in which He spoke to them, the different levels of fear between the ancient Hebrews and early Christians, and His display of power and almightiness. .
The first major difference between The Book of Exodus, and The Sermon on the Mount, is the way God spoke to His people. In The Book of Exodus, God gives Aaron and Moses (the prophets for the Hebrew people around thirteenth century B.C.E.) the Ten Commandments. These Commandments are the laws in which His people must live by. The method in which God presents these laws is by speaking directly to Moses, and Moses must report back to the people God's Word. Moses talks to God in regards to God only speaking to him, and not the rest of the people; Moses says, ""The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai; for thou thyself didst charge us saying, "Set bounds about the mountain and consecrate it."" God replies to Moses, ""Go down, and come up bringing Aaron with you; but do not let the priest and the people break through to come up to the Lord, lest he break out against them." These quotes exemplify how God only spoke directly to Moses. Conversely, in The Sermon on the Mount God sent His son Jesus as a prophet to speak to the Jewish people, from the time period of 6 B.C.E- 30 C.E. Jesus had a different approach to teaching God's Word. Jesus did not preach to a single individual, rather he attracted large crowds of people through miraculous acts of curing the sick. These "great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and from beyond the Jordan." In The Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught the crowds the "Eight Beatitudes," which were ways that the people should follow in order to live more righteously.
