Who received the Ten Commandments?

Who received the Ten Commandments?

• A. Abraham
• B. Jesus
• C. Peter
• D. Moses on Mount Sinai

Answer: (D)

The idea being tested is who acted as the mediator for receiving God’s laws. The Ten Commandments were given directly by God to Moses on Mount Sinai, and Moses then carried those commandments to the people. He is the key figure who stands between God and Israel, receiving the tablets and teaching the people how to live according to God’s commands. Abraham is the patriarch associated with the early covenant with God, not the recipient of the commandments. Jesus is the fulfillment of the law and its deepest interpretation in the New Testament, and Peter is a leading disciple who helps guide the early church. But the specific event of receiving the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai belongs to Moses.
