The law at Sinai was spiritual in that it was to be understood spiritually. It was to make the adherents (the Jews) desperate for someone to redeem them from it! Remember: the law was ADDED to them because they Jews transgressed God's commandments.
Here is the commandment they transgressed (again, you will NOT find this in the law given at Sinai or the 10 Commandments)
Moses explains;
"The Lord talked with you face to face on the mountain from the midst of the fire. 5 I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to declare to you the word of the Lord; for you were afraid because of the fire, and you did not go up the mountain."
So they are set up at Sinai and the Lord says this:
“Behold, I come to you in the thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever.”
So the people were to draw near to the mountain with Moses so that they could hear God speak with Moses.
But this is what happened:
"Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off."
They did not come near. They stood afar off. This was the transgression. The command to come close was not written down. It was delivered Spirit to spirit.
In the presence of the Lord they would have been changed. But, because of their fear, they stood away from Moses and God.
So, instead of becoming a nation of priests, as God said they would, only 1 tribe out of 12 would become priests by the law that was added because of transgression: the law at Sinai and the 10 Commandments. The promises given to the sons of God would have to wait until the Redeemer appears.

Where is that in Scripture. You do know there were 613 Mitzvah,laws, of God?
