Exodus 39 – 40
The Tabernacle was completed and the Lord tells Moses to set it up on the first day of the new year. It has been a year since the first Passover (the last of the ten plagues) and since the Israelites left Egypt.
Moses does everything as the Lord commands, including placing the stone tablets inside the Ark of the Covenant. After Moses finishes the set up, the cloud that had led them out of Egypt covers the Tabernacle and the glory of the Lord fills the Tabernacle. Even Moses could no longer enter the Tabernacle because of the cloud.
During the day, the people could see the cloud. At night, fire glowed inside the Tabernacle. The cloud and the fire were a visible, physical sign that the Lord was with them and the people knew when to set out on their journey by when the cloud rose from the Tabernacle.
Tomorrow, it’s Leviticus 1 – 4. We’ve already read three of the sixty-six books of the Bible. Hope you are enjoying it and learning from it as much as I am.
Global Warming – Yeah, Right!
As you know, if you read yesterday’s post, I planted a couple of pepper plants yesterday. I live in Florida where it’s usually warm, but last night they were predicting near freezing temps. At 5:30 this morning, my iPhone said it was 34 degrees in Thonotosassa. Fortunately, I had noticed the weather forecast before going to bed and covered my plants with a couple of blankets. They survived. I’ll probably be covering them again since it’s supposed to be just about as cold tonight.
Until next time…
