Exodus 28 – 29
In chapter 28, God relays to Moses information on clothing for priests, the design of the Ephod (probably looked something like a vest), design of the Chestpiece, and talks about the Urim and Thummin.
It is interesting to note that wearing the robe with the bells that tinkle as the priest goes in and out of the Lord’s presence in the Holy Place makes it so the priest will not die.
The medallion of pure gold engraved “Holy to the Lord” which was worn on the turban allowed Aaron to take on himself any guilt of the people of Israel when they consecrated their sacred offerings. Wearing this made it so the Lord will accept the people.
In chapter 29, God discusses how the priests were to be dedicated including what offerings were to be made during the process.
I love the last couple of verses (44 and 46) in chapter 29 where God talks about living among the people of Israel and being their God, how they will know that He is the Lord their God, the one who brought them out of the land of Egypt so He could live among them. We’ll see that this is not as important to the Israelites as it is to God.
Tomorrow, it’s Exodus 30 - 32.
One for the Money x 3
Yes, today, I went to see the movie One for the Money for the third time. I was a little surprised that, by the time the movie started, the theater was about half-full. I enjoyed it just as much this time as I did the other two times and will probably go see it again.
Until next time…
