Correction to the Sabbath-School Lesson
By Editor
SEVERAL queries have been sent in concerning the first question of the Sabbath-school lesson for August 28, printed in the SIGNS of August 12, page 491. We can answer all these queries simply by stating that the question as printed is a mistake. Instead of forty-five, read thirty. The children of Israel left Egypt on the fifteenth day of the first month; just two months later they reached the wilderness of Sinai (Ex. 19:1), three days before the giving of the law; and thirty-three days before the giving of the law, thirty days after they left Egypt, they came to the wilderness of Sin. Although the question is incorrectly worded, that did not destroy its object, which was to show that we have a record of Sabbath observance before the giving of the law from Sinai.
