Leviticus chapter 5 Judge not or the way you judge is the way you will be judged
1---’If a person sins in hearing the utterance of an oath, and is a witness, whether he has seen or known of the matter-----if he does not tell it, he bears guilt.
2---’Or if a person touches any unclean thing, whether it is the carcass of an unclean beast, or the carcass of unclean livestock, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and he is unaware of it, he also shall be unclean and guilty.
3---’Or if he touches human uncleanness----whatever uncleanness with which a man may be defiled, and he is unaware of it------when he realizes it, then he shall be guilty.
4---’Or if a person swears, speaking thoughtlessly with his lips to do evil or to do good, whatever it is that a man may pronounce by an oath, and he is unaware of it-----when he realizes it, then he shall be guilty in any of these matters.
5---’And it shall be, when he is guilty in any of these matters that he shall confess that he has sinned in that thing. (Ps. 32:5----I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity, I have not hidden. I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,’ And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Salah)
6---’and he shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord for his sin which he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats as a sin offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin.
7---’If he is not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring to the Lord, for his trespass which he has committed, two turtledoves or two young pigeons: one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering.
8---’And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off its head from its neck, but shall not divide it completely.
9---’Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blod shall be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.
10--’And he shall offer the second as a burnt offering according to the prescribed manner. So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin which he has committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
11--’But if he is not able to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then he who sinned shall bring for his offering one tenth of a ephah of fine flour as a sin offering. He shall put no oil on it, nor shall he put frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.
12--’Then he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as a memorial portion, and burn it on the altar according to the offerings made by fire to the Lord. It is a sin offering.
13--’The priest shall make atonement for him, for his sin that he has committed in any of these matters; and it shall be forgiven him. The rest shall be the priests’ as a grain offering.’
14--Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
15--’If a person commits a trespass, and sins unintentionally in regard to the holy things of the Lord, then he shall bring to the Lord as his trespass offering a ram without blemish from the flocks, with your valuation in shekels of silver according to the shekel of the sanctuary, as a trespass offering.
16--’And he shall make restitution for the harm that he has done in regard to the holy thing, and shall add one fifth to it and give it to the priest. So the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
17--’If a person sins, and commits any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord, though he does not know it, yet he is guilty and shall bear his iniquity.
18--’An’d he shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish from the flock, with your valuation, as a trespass offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him regarding his ignorance in which he erred and did not know it, and it shall be forgiven him.
19--’It is a trespass offering; he has certainly trespassed against the Lord.’
Throughout this chapter we are told over and over that we sin and that we have to accept our responsibility for our sin, whether we realize we sin or not. We have to show our remorse for that sin and ask the Lord’s forgiveness. The Israelites had to offer up their animals and grain for their sins. There at that time was not a mediator like we have, for them to go through, so the priests who had been ordained acted as that mediator for them. The blood that was shed by the unblemished lambs or animals was in similitude to what we have today, Jesus. He shed His blood for the redemption of man. We have Jesus as a go between for God and His mercies of forgiveness. This is why we are to come to Him daily in prayer and thanksgiving; to ask His forgiveness for what sins we know we have committed as well as those we are unaware of committing. We are told in Romans chapter three that: there is none who understands; that: they have all turned aside; that: they have together become unprofitable; that: there is none who does good, no, not one. That: their throat is an open tomb---with their tongues they have practiced deceit; that: the poison of asps is under their lips; that: their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. That: their feet are swift to shed blood; that: destruction and misery are in their ways, and the way of peace they have not known. And that: there is no fear of God before their eyes, that even the righteous, through faith, in Jesus Christ can sin for All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God.’ Jesus redeemed us all. He made it so we have a way back to Him. By our sinful nature, our sinful temper, and our sinful actions God saw a great need for our redemption, so, He sent His only Son Jesus to redeem us all. We should be soooooo GRATEFUL for His Love and Mercy that we fall on our knees in Great Gratitude to Him and that we sing praises to Him to lift Him up as high as we can in Honor and Respect.

Leviticus chapter 4 You can not serve God and evil
1---Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2---’Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If a person sins unintentionally against any of the commandments of the Lord in anything which ought not to be done, and does any of them,
3---’if the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, then let him offer to the Lord for his sin which he has sinned, a young bull without blemish as a sin offering.
4---’He shall bring the bull to the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and kill the bull before the Lord.
5---’Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood and bring it to the tabernacle of meeting.
6---’The priest shall dip is finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the Lord, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.
7---’And the priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of meeting; and he shall pour the remaining blood of the bull at the base of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
8---’He shall take from it all the fat of the bull as a sin offering. The fat that covers the entrails and all the fat which is on the entrails,
9---’the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove,
10--’as it was taken from the bull of the sacrifice of the peace offering; and the priest shall burn them on the altar of the burnt offering.
11--’But the bull’s hide and all its flesh, with its head and legs, its entrails and its offal---------
12--’the whole bull he shall carry outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire; where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned. (Heb. 13:11 & 12-----For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin are burned outside the camp. Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.)
13--’Now if the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done something against any of the commandments of the Lord in anything which should not be done, and are guilty;
14--’when the sin which they have committed becomes known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for the sin, and bring it before the tabernacle of meeting.
15--’And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord. Then the bull shall be killed before the Lord.
16--’The anointed priest shall bring some of the bull’s blood to the tabernacle of meeting. (Heb. 9: 12-14----Not with the blood of goats and claves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of the heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?)
17--’ The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, in front of the veil. (Heb. 10:10-12----By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, from that time waiting til His enemies are made His footstool.)
18--’And he shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of meeting; and he shall pour the remaining blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
19--’He shall take all the fat from it and burn it on the altar.
20--’And he shall do with the bull as he did with the bull as a sin offering; thus he shall do with it. So the priest shall make atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
21--’Then he shall carry the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is a sin offering for the assembly.
22--’When a ruler hs sinned, and done something unintentionally against any of the commandments of the Lord his God in anything which should not be done, and is guilty,
23--’or if his sin which he has committed comes to his knowledge, he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats, a male without blemish.
24--’And he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it at the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord. It is a sin offering.
25--’The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering.
26--’And he shall burn all its fat on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of the peace offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
27--’If anyone of the common people sins unintentionally by doing something against any of the commandments of the Lord in anything which ought not to be done, and is guilty,
28--’or if his sin which he has committed comes from his knowledge, then he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has committed.
29--’And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering.
30--’Then the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour all the remaining blood at the base of the altar.
31--’He shall remove all its fat, as fat is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offering; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a sweet aroma to the Lord. So the priest shall make atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
32--’If he brings a lamb as his sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish.
33--’Then he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it as a sin offering at the place where they kill the burnt offering.
34--’The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour all the remaining blooc at the base of the altar.
35--’He shall remove all its fat, as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offering. Then the priest shall burn it on the altar according to the offerings made by fire to the Lord. So the priest shall make atonement for his sin that he has committed, and it shall be forgiven him.

2---’He shall bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests, one of whom shall take from it his handful of fine flour and oil with all the frankincense. And the priest shall burn it as a memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.

Leviticus chapter 1 Watch the ant, consider her ways and be wise
Leviticus is God’s guidebook to His newly redeemed people that shows them how to worship, how to serve, and how to obey a holy God. The fellowship with God by sacrifice and obedience shows the awesome holiness of God of Israel. ‘Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God ‘am’ holy.’ The book focuses on their worship and walk as a the nation of God. In Exodus, Israel was redeemed and established as a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. In Leviticus it shows how God’ s people are to fulfill their priestly calling. The Hebrew title is ‘Wayyiara, ‘And He called.’ The Talmud refers to the book as the ‘Law of the Priests, and the ‘Law of the Offerings.’ In Greek the title in the Septuagent is ‘Leuitikon, That which Pertains to the Levites.’ From this word the Latin Vulgate drived its name ‘Leviticus’ which was adopted as the
English title. This title can be misleading because the book does not deal with the Levites, as a whole, but more with the priests which is a segment of the Levites.
1---Now the Lord called to Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle of meeting, saying,
2---’Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When any one of you brings an offering to the Lord, you shall bring your offering of the livestock------of the herd and of the flock.
3---’If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord. (1 Peter 1:17-19----….but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.)
4---’Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.
5---’He shall kill the bull before the Lord; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. (Heb. 12:22-24----…...to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.)
6---’And he shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces.
7---’The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay the wood in order on the fire.
8---’Then the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar;
9---’but he shall wash its entrails and its legs with water. And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.
10--’If his offering is of the flocks--------of the sheep or of the goats----------as a burnt sacrifice, he shall bring a male without blemish.
11--’He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the Lord; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar.
12--’And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar;
13--’but he shall wash the entrails and the legs with water. Then the priest shall bring it all and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.
14--’And if the burnt sacrifice of his offering to the Lord is of birds, then he shall bring his offering turtledoves or young pigeons.
15--’The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring of its head, and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out at the side of the altar.
16--’And he shall remove its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the place for ashes.
17--’Then he shall split it at its wings, but shall not divide it completely; and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.

Exodus chapter 40 They that sow in tears shall reap joy
1---Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2---’On the first day of the first month you shall set up the tabernacle of the tent meeting.
3---’You shall put in it the ark of the Testimony, and partition off the ark with the veil.
4---’You shall bring in the table and arrange the things that are to be set in order on it; and you shall bring in the lampstand and light its lamps.
5---’You shall also set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the Testimony, and put up the screen for the door of the tabernacle.
6---’Then you shall set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent meeting.
7---’And you shall set the laver (a large brass bowl for the ritual ablutions of Jewish priests) between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar, and pour water in it.
8---’You shall set up the court all around, and hang up the screen at the court gate.
9---’And you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it; and you shall hallow it and all its utensils, and it shall be holy.
10--’You shall anoint the altar of the burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar. The altar shall be most holy.
11--’And you shall anoint the laver and its base, and consecrate it.
12--’Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of meeting and wash them with water.
13--’You shall put the holy garments on Aaron, and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may minister to Me as priest.
14--’And you shall bring his sons and clothe them with tunics.
15--’You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to Me as priests; for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.’
16--Thus Moses did; according to all that the Lord had commanded him, so he did.
17--And it came to pass in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was raised up.
18--So Moses raised up the tabernacle, fastened its sockets, set up its boards, put in its bars, and raised up its pillars.
19--And he spread out the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent on top of it, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
20--He took the Testimony and put it into the ark, inserted the poles through the rings of the ark, and put the mercy seat on top of the ark.
21--And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, hung up the veil of the covering, and partitioned off the ark of the Testimony, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22--He put the table in the tabernacle of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil;
23--and he set the bread in order upon it before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
24--He put the lampstand in the tabernacle of meeting, across from the table, on the south side of the tabernacle;
25--and he lit the lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
26--He put the gold altar in the tabernacle of meeting in front of the veil;
27--and he burned sweet incense on it, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
28--He hung up the screen at the door of the tabernacle,
29--And he put the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as the Lord commanded Moses.
30--He set the laver between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar, and put water there for washing;
31--and Moses, Aaron, and his sons would wash their hands and their feet with water from it.
32--Whenever they went into the tabernacle of meeting, and when they came near the altar, they washed, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
33--And he raised up the court all around the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the screen of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
34--Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
35--And Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested above it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
36--Whenever the cloud was taken from above the tabernacle, the children of Israel would go onward in all their journeys.
37--But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey till the day it was taken up.
38--For the cloud of the Lord was above the tabernacle by day, and fire was over it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout their journeys.
Heaven is outside of linear time; time is created illusion as part of the ‘fall’ of man; fruit is catalyst that transforms man and space into mortal linear existence

Exodus chapter 39 The price of wisdom is above rubies
1---Of the blue, purple, and scarlet thread they made garments of ministry, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
2---He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine linen.
3---And they beat the gold into thin sheets and cut it into threads to work it in with the blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine linen, into artistic designs.
4---They made shoulder straps for to couple it together; it was coupled together at its two edges.
5---And the intricately woven band of his ephod that was on it was of the same workmanship, woven of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
6---And they set onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold; they were engraved, as signets are engraved, with the names of the sons of Israel.
7---He put them on the shoulders of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
8---And he made the breastplate, artistically woven like the workmanship of the ephod, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen.
9---They made the breastplate square by doubling it; a span was its length and a span its width when doubled. (the breastplate was a hand’s span square)
10--And they set it in four rows of stones: a row with a sardis, a topaz, and an emerald was the first row;
11--The second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;
12--The third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
13--The fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in settings of gold in their mountings.
14--There were twelve stones according to the names of the sons of Israel: according to their names, engraved like a signet, each one with its own name according to the twelve tribes. (Rev. 21:9-12----vs 12----Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.)
15--And they made chains for the breastplate at the ends, like braided cords of pure gold.
16--They also made two settings of gold and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
17--And they put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.
18--The two ends of the two braided chains they fastened in the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in the front.
19--And they made two rings of gold and put them on the two rings of gold and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it which was on the inward side of the ephod.
20--They made two other gold rings and put them on the two shoulder straps, underneath the ephod toward its front, right at the seam above the intricately woven band of the ephod.
21--And they bound the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it would be above the intricately woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate would not come loose from the ephod, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22--He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
23--And there was an opening in the middle of the robe, like the opening in a coat of mail, with a woven binding all around the opening, so that it would not tear.
24--They made on the hem of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen.
25--And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates on the hem of the robe all around between the pomegranates:
26--A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe to minister in, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
27--They made tunics, artistically woven of fine linen, for Aaron and his sons,
28--A turban of fine linen, exquisite hats of fine linen, short trousers of fine woven linen,
29--And a sash of fine woven linen with blue, purple, and scarlet thread, made by a weaver, as the Lord commanded Moses.
30--Then they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it an inscription like the engraving of a signet: HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
31--And they tied to it a blue cord, to fasten it above on the turban, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
32--Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was finished. And the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses; so they did.
33--And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its furnishings: its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;
34--The covering of ram skins dyed red, the covering of badger skins, and the veil of the covering.
35--The ark of the Testimony with its poles, and the mercy seat;
36--The table, all its utensils, and the showbread;
37--The pure gold lampstand with its lamps (the lamps set in order), all its utensils, and the oil for light:
38--The gold altar, the anointing oil, and the sweet incense; the screen for the tabernacle door;
39--The bronze altar, its grate of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils; the laver with its base;
40--The hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets, the screen for the court gate, its cords, and its pegs; all the utensils for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;
41--And the garments of ministry, to minister in the holy place: the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons garments, to minister as priests.
42--According to all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work.
43--Then Moses looked over all the work, and indeed they had done it; as the Lord had commanded, just so they had don it. And Moses blessed them.

Exodus chapter 36 Live in the Spirit and be in Heaven Now!
1---’And Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in whom the Lord has put wisdom and understanding, to know how to do all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, shall do according to all that the Lord has commanded.’
2---Then Moses called Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, everyone whose heart was stirred, to come and do the work.
3---And they received from Moses all the offerings which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of making the sanctuary. So they continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning.
4---Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work he was doing,
5---and they spoke to Moses, saying, ‘The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us to do.’
6---So Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, ‘Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary.’ And the people were restrained from bringing,
7---for the material they had was sufficient for all the work to be done--------indeed too much.
8---Then all the gifted artisans among them who worked on the tabernacle made ten curtains woven of fine linen, and of blue, purple, and scarlet thread; with artistic designs of Cherubim they made them.
9---The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits (forty-two feet), and the width of each curtain four cubits (five feet five inches); the curtains were all the same size.
10--And he coupled five curtains to one another; and the other five curtains he coupled to one another.
11--He made loops of blue yarn on the edge of the curtain on the selvage of one set; likewise he did on the outer edge of the other curtain of the second set.
12--Fifty loops he made on one curtain, and fifty loops he made on the edge of the curtain on the end of the second set; the loops held one curtain to another.
13--And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains to one anther with the clasps, that it might be one tabernacle.
14--He made curtains of goats’ hair for the tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains.
15--The length of each curtain was thirty cubits (forty-five feet) and the width of each curtain was four cubits (five feet four inches); the eleven curtains were the same size.
16--He coupled five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves.
17--And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in one set, and fifty loops he made on the edge of the curtain of the second set.
18--He also made fifty bronze clasps to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
19--Then he made a covering for the tent of ram skins dyed red, and a covering of badger skins above that.
20--For the tabernacle he made boards of Acacia wood, standing upright.
21--The length of each board was ten cubits (fifteen feet), and the width of each board one one-half cubits (twenty-four inches)
22--Each board had two tenons (joints) for binding one to another. Thus he made for all the boards of the tabernacle.
23--And he made boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side
24--Forty sockets of silver he made to go under the twenty boards; two sockets under each of the boards for its two tenons.
25--And for the other side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty boards.
26--and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under each of the boards.
27--For the west side of the tabernacle he made six boards.
28--He also made two boards for the two back corners of the tabernacle.
29--And they were coupled at the bottom and coupled together at the top by one ring. Thus he made both of them for the two corners.
30--So there were eight boards and their sockets--------sixteen sockets of silver------two sockets under each of the boards.
31--And he made bars of Acacia wood: five for the boards on one side of the tabernacle.
32--Five bars for the boards on the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle on the far side westward.
33--And he made the middle bar to pass through the boards from one end to the other.
34--He overlaid the boards with gold, made their rings of gold to be holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
35--And he made a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, it was worked with an artistic design of Cherubim.
36--He made for it four pillars of Acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and he cast four sockets of silver for them.
37--He also made a screen for the tabernacle door, of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, made by a weaver.
38--And it five pillars with their hooks. And he overlaid their capitals (tops) and their rings with gold, but their five sockets were bronze.

And many who were rich put in much. Then one poor widow came and threw in two mites/about 1 cent, which make a quadrans/about a quarter. So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury; ‘for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole livelihood.’ (2 Cor. 8:12----For if there is a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have.)
6---’blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats’ hair;
7---’ram skins died red, badger skins, and acacia wood;
8---’oil for the light, and spices for te anointing oil and for the sweet incense;
9---’onyx ;stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate.
10--’All who are gifted artisans among you shall come and make all that the Lord has commanded:
11--’the tabernacle, its tent, its covering, its clasps, its boards,its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;
12--’the ark and its poles, with the mercy seat, and the veil of the covering;

19--’the garments of ministry, for ministering in the holy place-------the holy garments of Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests.’
20--And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
21--Then everyone came whose heart was stirred, and everyone whose spirit was willing, and they brought the Lord’s offering for the work of the tabernacle of meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments.
22--They came both men and women, as many as had a willing heart, and brought earrings and nose rings, rings and necklaces, all jewelry of gold, that is, every man who made an offering of gold to the Lord.
23--And every man, with whom was found blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats’ hair, red skins of rams, and badger skins, brought them.
24--Everyone who offered an offering of silver or bronze brought the Lord’s offering. And everyone with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it.
25--All the women who were gifted artisans spun yarn with their hands, and brought what they had spun, of blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.
26--And all the women whose hearts stirred with wisdom spun yarn of goat’s hair.
27--The rulers brought onyx stones, and the stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate,
28--and spices and oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
29--The children of Israel brought a freewill offering to the Lord, all the men and women whose hearts were willing to bring material for all kinds of work which the Lord, by the hand of Moses, had commanded to be done.
30--And Moses said to the children of Israel, ‘See, the Lord has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe’ of Judah;
31--’and He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding, in knowledge and all manner of workmanship,
32--’to design artistic works, to work in gold and silver and bronze,
33--’in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of artistic workmanship.
34--’And He has put in his heart the ability to teach, in him and Aholiah the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35--’He has filled them with skill to do all manner of work of the engraver and the designer and tapestry maker, in blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine linen, and of the weaver------those who do every work and those who design artistic works. (Is. 28:26----For He instructs him in right judgment, His God teaches him.
We all have different talents that we are born with. It is our duty to find out what these talents are and to expound upon them so that we can be able to magnify our calling which God has given to each of us. Are you expounding upon the talents which God has given to you? Are you putting Your talents to use for the betterment of man and God? If we don’t use our talents, those which God has given to us freely, then we are going to lose them just as Jesus said would happen to the one person who only had the one talent which was given to him. It will be taken away and given to another and your lot will be worse than if you had never had it. Think about it and endeavor to use what God has already given to you.

Exodus chapter 34 The God of Jacob of Israel, the God of you, the God of your name of who you are and who has chosen your name in His.
1---And the Lord said to Moses, ‘Cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and I will write on these tablets the words that were on the first tablets which you broke.
2---’So be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to Mt. Sinai, and present yourself to Me there on the top of the mountain.
3---’And no man shall come up with you, and let no man be seen throughout all the mountain; let neither flocks nor herds feed before that mountain.’
4---So he cut two tablets of stone like the first ones. Then Moses rose early in the morning and went up Mt. Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him; and he took in his hand the two tablets of stone.
5---Now the Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord.
6---And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, ‘The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long suffering, and abounding in goodness with truth, (Ps.108:4----For Your mercy is great above the heavens, And Your truth reaches to the clouds.)
7---’keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and fourth generation. (Ps. 103:1-5----Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is withing me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits, Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.)
8---So Moses made haste and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
9---Then he said, ‘If now I have found grace in Your sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray, go among us, even though we are a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin and take us to Your inheritance.’ (Ps. 33:10-12----The Lord brings the council of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the people of no effect. The council of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance.
10--And He said: ‘Behold, I make a covenant. Before all your people. I will do marvels such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord. For it is an awesome thing that I will do with you.
11--’Observe what I command you this day. Behold, I am driving out from before you the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
12--’Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be a snare in your midst.
13--’But you shall destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and cut down their wooden images.
14--’(for you shall worship no other gods, for the Lord, whose nameis Jealous, is a jealous God).
15--’lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the harlot with their gods and make sacrifice, to their gods, and one of them invites you and you eat of his sacrifice,
16--’and you take of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters play the harlot with their gods and make your sons play the harlot with their gods.
17--’You shall make no molded gods for yourselves.
18--’the Feast of Unleavened Bread you shall keep. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, in the appointed time of the month of Avib; for in the month of Avib you came out of Egypt.
19--’All that open the womb are Mine, and every male firstborn among your livestock, whether ox or sheep.
20--’But the first born of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb. And if you will not redeem him, then you shall break his neck. All the first born of your sons you shall redeem. And one shall appear before Me empty-handed.
21--’Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.
22--’And you shall observe the Feast of Weeks, of the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at year’s end.
23--’Three times in the year all your men shall appear before the Lord, the Lord God of Israel.
24--’For I will cast out the nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither will any man covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times a year.
25--’You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leaven, nor shall the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover be left until morning.
26--’The first of the first fruits of your land you shall bring to the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.’
27--Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Write these words, for according to the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.
28--So he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; He neither ate bread nor drank water. And He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.
29--Now it was so, when Moses came down from Mot. Sinai (and the two tablets of the Testimony were in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him. (2 Cor. 3:7----But the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away.
30--So when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.
31--Then Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moses talked with them.
32--Afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them as commandments, all that the Lord had spoken with him on Mt. Sinai.
33--And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face. (2 Cor. 3:13 & 14----….unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains un-lifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil was taken away in Christ.
34--But whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with Him, he would take the veil off until he came out; and he would come out and speak to the children of Israel whatever He had commanded.
35--And whenever the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone, then Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with Him.
We are told by Jesus to let our light shine! This little light of Mine, to let it shine, let it shine. When we live close to the Lord and do as He want us to by keeping His commands then His light will shine through us. This light can be very BRIGHT but nevertheless, it SHINES. When we live by the Spirit, we become close, close, closer to Him and if we become close enough then the light which shines through us will be as it was with Moses. His light is to glorify Him, and His light should not scare anyone away, although people do become quite leary of it just because they do NOT know what it is. If we follow Jesus, our Lord and Saviour then this little light of MINE will shine to let all know that He indeed is still alive and with us still. Don’t put your light under a bushel and hide it, but instead LET- IT- SHINE!!!

Exodus chapter 33 Live today as it’s the beginning of heaven
1---Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Depart and go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought out of Egypt to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘To your descendants I will give it.’
2---’And I will send My Angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanite and the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.
3---’Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, lest I consume you on the way, for you are a stiff-necked (stubborn, obstinate, pig-headed, unyielding) people.’
4---And when the people heard this bad news, they mourned, and no one put on his ornaments.
5---For the Lord has said to Moses, ‘Say to the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. I could come up into your midst in one moment and consume you. Now therefore, take off your ornaments, that I may know what to do to you.’ (Ps. 139:23 & 24-----Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in he way everlasting.)
6---So the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by Mount Horeb.
7---Moses took his tent and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the tabernacle of meeting. And it came to pass that everyone who sought the Lord went out to the tabernacle of meeting which was outside the camp.
8---So it was, whenever Moses went out to the tabernacle, that all the people rose, and each man stood at his tent door and watched Moses until he had gone into the tabernacle.
9---And it came to pass, when Moses entered the tabernacle, that the pillar of cloud descended and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.
10--All the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the tabernacle door, and all the people rose and worshipped, each man in his tent door.
11--So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to is friend. And he would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle.
12--Then Moses said to the Lord, ‘See,You say to me, ‘Bring up his people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with us. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’
13--’Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.’ (Ps. 25:4----Show me Your ways, O, Lord; Teach me Your paths.)
14--And He said, ‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest!’ a(Is. 63:9----In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them; in His love and in His pity He redeemed them; and He bore them and carried them all the days of old.)
15--Then he said to Him, ‘If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here.
16--’For how then will it be known that Your people and I have fund grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.’
17--So the Lord said to Moses, ‘I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.’
18--And he said, ‘Please, show me Your glory.’ (1 Tim. 6:16----….who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen)
19--Then He said, ‘I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you, I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.’
20--But He said, ‘You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me and live.’
21--And the Lord said, ‘Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the Rock.’
22--’So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the Rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by.
23--’Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen.’

Exodus chapter 32 Do to others the way you wish them to do to you; but, an eye for an eye principle comes in to being also.
1---Now when the people waw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, ‘Come, make us gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.
2---And Aaron said to them, ‘Break off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.’
3---So all the people broke off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
4---And he received the gold from their hand, and he fastened it with an engraving tool, and made a molded calf. Then they said, ‘this is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!’
5---So when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made a proclamation and said, ‘Tomorrow is a feast to the Lord.’
6---Then they rose early on the next day, offered burnt offerings; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
7---And the Lord said to Moses, ‘God get down! For your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves.
8---’They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and worshipped it and sacrificed to it, and said, ‘This is your god, ‘O Israel’, that brought you out of the land of Egypt.’
9---And the Lord said to Moses, ‘I have seen this people, and indeed it is a stiff-necked people! (Acts 7:5----’You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.’)
10--’Now therefore, let Me alone, that My wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume/dispose of them. And I will make of you a great nation.’
11--Then Moses pleaded with the Lord his God, and said: ‘Lord why does Your wrath burn hot against Your people whom You have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
12--’Why should the Egyptians speak, and say, ‘He brought them out to harm them, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from Your fierce wrath, and relent from this harm to Your people.
13--’Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants to whom You swore by Your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven; and all this land that I have spoken of I give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.’
14--So the Lord relented from the harm which He said He would do to His people.
15--And Moses turned and went down from the mountain, and the two tablets of the Testimony were in his hand. The tablets were written on both sides; on the one side and on the other they were written.
16--Now the tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God engraved on the tablets.
17--And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, ‘There is a noise of war in the camp.’
18--But he said: ‘It is not the noise of the shout of victory, nor the noise of the cry of defeat, but the sound of singing I hear.’
19--So it was, as soon as he came near the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing. So Moses’ anger became hot, and he cast the tablets out of his hands, and broke them at the floor of the mountain.
20--Then he took the calf which they had made, burned it in the fire, and ground it to powder; and he scattered it on the water and made the children of Israel drink it.
21--And Moses said to Aaron, ‘What did this people do to you that you have brought so great a sin upon them?’
22--So Aaron said, ‘Do not let the anger of my lord become hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.
23--’For they said to me, ‘Make us gods that shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’
24--’And I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let them break it off.’ So they gave it to me, and I did cast it into the fire, and this calf came out.’
25--Now when Moses saw that the people were unrestrained (for Aaron had not restrained them, to their shame among their enemies),
26--then Moses stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, ‘Whoever is on the Lord’s side------come to me!’ And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
27--And he said to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Let every man put his sword on his side, and go in and out from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and let every man kill his brother every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.’
28--So the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And about three thousand men of the people fell that day.
29--Then Moses said, ‘Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, that He may bestow on you a blessing this day, for every man has opposed his son and his brother.’
30--Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses said to the people, you have committed a great sin. So now I will go up to the Lord; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.’
31--Then Moses returned to the Lord and said, ‘Oh, these people have committed a great sin, and have made for themselves a god of gold!
32--’Yet now, if You will forgive their sin------but if not, I pray, blot me out of Your book which You have written.’
33--And the Lord said to Moses, ‘Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.
34--’Now therefore, go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, My Angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I visit for punishment, I will visit punishment upon them for their sin. (Roms. 2:5 & 6----But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who ‘will render to each one according to his deeds.’)
35--So the Lord plagued the people because of what they did with the calf which Aaron made.
A tidbit about Moses’ controversy; 1--it is believed he is first child, yet it is told that he had at least two older siblings: 2--he was adopted by an Egyptian princess and there is no detail of his childhood: 3--it is believed that it was imperative that he was from the tribe of Levi, the priestly line so the scribes concocted his genealogy to convince others: 4--It is believed that the Israelites were expelled from Egypt because of the murder of Joseph: 5--it is believed that Akhenaten’s monotheism was not something the priest of Heleopolis would reveal to Reuel an Egyptian magician, and that Moses was his grandson: 6--there were two men who took the name ‘Moses’. the first was raised in Heleopolis the second was Reuel a magician who had a motive, the means, and opportunity to successfully steal his identity and proclaim his belief to be the rightful leader of the Jews: 7--and last but not least a mythical person based loosely on the Sumerian’s king Sargon myth.
In this chapter we see that if a person sins great enough that God can and will completely consume, obliterate, annihilate a person off the face of the earth. If a person sells his soul to Satan, for instance, would be cause enough for such a thing to happen. Be careful what you do and how you do it.

Exodus chapter 31 One small step to start the ball moving ‘could change the world
1---Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying;
2---’See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Judah.
3---’And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
4---’to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze,
5---’in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship.
6---’And I, indeed I, have appointed with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the gifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you:
7---’the tabernacle of meeting, the ark of Testimony and the mercy seat that is on it, and all the furniture of the tabernacle------
8---’the table and its utensils, the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense,
9---’the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base----
10--’the garments of ministry, the holy garments of Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests.
11--’and the anointing oil and sweet incense for the holy place. According to all that I have commanded you they shall do.’
12--And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
13--’Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.
14--’You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. (John 7:23----’If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?’)
15--’Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16--’Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.
17--’It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and refreshed.’
18--And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mt. Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.
Keeping the Sabbath day holy by doing no work on that day, is in the Ten Commands which God gave to Moses. If, you are to believe in God, accept Him into your heart and strive to do His will, then you need to Keep The Sabbath Day HOLY with no work. The Laws of God which is put in the Bible is for our benefit. The Laws are as pertinent today as yesterday. Jesus while on this earth told the Jews that He had not come to destroy the laws but to fulfill them. This He did. Time after time when asked by certain people this or that, He quoted from the Old Testament that which is still for each and every one of us to adhere to of today. Once you become one of His children/his sheep you are to do as He says. We are to FOLLOW HIM in all that we do. He told us to leave our family and friends and FOLLOW HIM. That means we follow all his laws and serve Him as best as we can. Obeying His laws will help us to attain the life which each of us should be wanting to attain in the here after.

Exodus chapter 30 The Lord’s Prayer--Our Daily Bread
1---’You shall make an altar to burn incense on; you shall make it of acacia wood,
2---’A cubit shall be its length and a cubit its width---it shall be square---and two cubits shall be its height. Its horns shall be of one piece with it.
3---’And you shall overlay its top, its side all around and its horns with pure gold; and you shall make for it a molding of gold all around.
4---’Two gold rings you shall make for it, under the molding on both its sides. You shall place them on its two sides, and they will be holders for the poles with which to bear it.
5---’You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
6---’And you shall put it before the veil that is before the ark of the Testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the Testimony where I will meet with you.
7---’Aaron shall burn on it sweet incense every morning; when he tends the lamps, he shall burn incense on it.
8---’And when Aaron lights the lamps at twilight, he shall burn incense on it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations.
9---’You shall not offer strange incense on it, or a burnt offering, or a grain offering; nor shall you pour a drink offering on it.
10--’And Aaron shall make atonement upon its horns once a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonement; once a year he shall make atonement upon it throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord.’
11--Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
12--’When you take the census of the children of Israel for their number, then every man shall give a ransom for himself to the Lord, when you number them, that there may be no plague among them when you number them. (1 Pet. 1:18 & 19----….knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.)
13--’This is what everyone among those who are numbered shall give: one-half shekel according to the shekel (about 2 1/2 cents). The half shekel shall be an offering to the Lord. (Matt. 17:24----When they had come to Capernaum, those who received the temple tax came to Peter and said, ‘Does your Teacher not pay the temple tax?’)
14--’Everyone included among those who are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering to the Lord.
15--’The rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than one-half shekel, when you give an offering to the Lord, to make atonement for yourselves. (Eph. 6:9----And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.)
16--’And you shall take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of meeting, that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord, to make atonement for yourselves.’
17--Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
18--’You shall also make a laver of bronze, with its base also of bronze, for washing. You shall put it between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. And you shall put water in it,
19--’for Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in water from it.
20--’When they go into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the Lord, they shall wash with water, lest they die.
21--’So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die. And it shall be a statute forever to them----to him and his descendants throughout their generations.’
22--Moreover the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23--’Also make for yourself quality spices---five hundred shekels of liquid myrrh, halfe as much sweet smelling cinnamon (two hundred-fifty shekels of sweet smelling cane,
24--’five hundred shekels of cassia (similar to cinnamon, reddish to dark brown in color), according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil.
25--’And you shall make from these a holy anointing oil, an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer. It shall be a holy anointing oil.
26--’With it you shall anoint the tabernacle of meeting and the ark of the Testimony;
27--’the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense;
28--’the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver ad its base.
29--’You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy; whatever touches them must be holy.
30--’And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister to Me as priests.’
31--’And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying:
32--’It shall not be poured on man’s flesh; nor shall you make any other like it, according to its composition. It is holy, and it shall be holy to you.
33--’Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on an outsider, shall be cut off from his people.’
, stacte
34--And the Lord said to Moses: ‘Take sweet spices, stacte/storax (of witch hazel family from an Asian tree), onycha (the door membrane of a snail-like mollusk found in the Red Sea area), and galbanum (an aromatic gum resin grown on slopes of mountain ranges in norther Iraq of light brown, yellowish or greenish yellow and has a bitter taste with a musky odor), and pure frankincense (an oil that has properties of antiseptic, disinfectant, astringent, diuretic, carminative, expectorant, sedative, tonic, uterine and vulnerary substance.) incense with these sweet spices; there shall be equal amounts of each.
35--’You shall make of these an incense a compound according to the art of the perfumer, salted, pure, and holy.
36--’And you shall beat some of it very fine, and put some of it before the Testimony in the tabernacle of meeting where I will meet with you. It shall be most holy to you.
37--’But as for the incense which you shall make, you shall not make any for yourselves, according to its composition. It shall be to you holy for the Lord.
38--’Whoever makes any like it, to smell it, he shall be cut off from his people.’
If you believe and use oil for anointing, let’s say, the sick, then you are to use an expensive type oil. Because people even today consider olive oil some of the best with some of the best ingredients in it, then I would say olive oil should be the one used. The best is symbolic of the holiness of the Lord. The oil is not the healer, in this case. The healer is the Lord with your petitions to Him. The oil anointing is only symbolic of the miracles of which can come about through your faith and the faith of the ones praying for you. God hears our prayers whether we are anointed or not, and by our faith we will be make whole or well. Let us pray-----Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever, Amen

Exodus chapter 29 Live in Sabbath Age now by making the Lord of your life
1---’And this is what you shall do to them to hallow them for ministering to Me as priests. Take one young bull and two rams without blemish, (Heb. 7:26-28-----vs 27--….who does not need daily, as those high priests to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the peoples’, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.)
2---’and unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil (you shall make them of wheat flour.
3---’You shall put them in one basket and bring them in the basket, with the bull and two rams.
4---’And Aaron and his sons you shall bring to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and you shall wash them with water.
5---’Then you shall take the garments, put the tunic on Aaron, and the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the intricately woven band of the ephod.
6---’You shall put the turban on his head, and put the holy crown on the turban.
7---’And you shall take the anointing oil, pour it on his head, and anoint him. (Ps. 133:2----It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, running down on the edge of his garments.
8---Then you shall bring his sons and put tunics on them.
9---’And you shall gird them with sashes, Aaron and his sons, and put the hats on them. The priesthood shall be theirs for a perpetual statute. So you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.
10--’You shall also have the bull brought before the tabernacle of meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the bull.
11--’Then you shall kill the bull before the Lord, by the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
12--’You shall take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and pour all the blood beside the base of the altar.
13--’And you shall take all the fat that covers the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.
14--’But the flesh on the bull, with its skin and its offal/intestines, bowels, internal organs, you shall burn with fire outside the camp. It is a sin offering. (Heb. 13:11----For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp.
15--’You shall also take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the ram,
16--’and you shall kill the ram, and take its blood and sprinkle it all around on the altar.
17--’Then you shall cut the ram in pieces, wash its entrails and its legs, and put them with its pieces and with its head.
18--’And you shall burn the whole ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord; it is a sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
19--’You shall also take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the ram.
20--’Then you shall kill the ram, and take some of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood all around the altar.
21--’And you shall take some of the blood that is on the altar, and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and on his garments, on his sons and on the garments of his sons with him; and he and his garments shall be hallowed, and his sons and his son’s garments with him. (Heb. 9:22----And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.).
22--’Also you shall take the fat of the ram, the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, the two kidneys and fat on them, t’he right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration).
23--’One loaf of bread, one cake made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the Lord;
24--’and you shall put all these in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons, and you shall wave them as a wave offering before the Lord.
25--’You shall receive them back from their hands and burn them on the altar as a burnt offering, as a sweet aroma before the Lord. It is an offering made by the fire to the Lord.
26--’Then you shall take the breast of the ram of Aaron’s consecration and wave it as a wave offering before the Lord; and it shall be your portion. (a wave offering was part of a sacrifice that was presented to God. It was then given back by God for those involved in the sacrifice. The meal was then fed to the families of those priests.)
27--’And from the ram of the consecration you shall consecrate the breast of the wave offering which is waved, and the thigh of the heave offering (an offering consisted of presenting an offering of motion of up and down) which is raised, of that which is for Aaron and of that which is for his sons.
28--’It shall be from the children of Israel for Aaron and his sons by a statute forever. For it is a heave offering; it shall be a heave offering from the children of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, that is, their heave offering to the Lord.
29--’And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons’ after him, to be anointed in them and to be consecrated in them.
30--’That son who becomes priest in his place shall put them on for seven days, when he enters the tabernacle of meeting to minister in the holy place.
31--And you shall take the ram of the consecration and boil its flesh in the holy place.
32--’Then Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, by the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
33--’They shall eat those things with which the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them; but an outsider shall not eat them, because they are holy.
34--’And if any of the flesh of consecration offerings, or of the bread, remains until the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire. It shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
35--’Thus you shall do to Aaron and his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. Seven days you shall consecrate them.
36--’And you shall offer a bull every day as a sin offering for atonement. You shall cleanse the altar when you make atonement for it, and you shall anoint and sanctify it.
37--’Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and sanctify it. And the altar shall be most holy. Whatever touches the altar must be holy. (Matt. 23:19----’Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift?’)
38--’Now this is what you shall offer on the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.
39--’One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight.
40--’with the one lamb shall be one-tenth of an ephah (a little over a bushel) of flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin (about 5.5 quarts) of pressed oil, and one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering’.
41--’And the other lamb you shall offer at twilight; and you shall offer with it the grain offering and the drink offering, as in the morning, for a sweet aroma, an offering made by the fire to the Lord.
42--’This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout you generation at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord, where I will meet you to speak with you.
43--’And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by My glory.
44--’So I will consecrate the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. I will also consecrate both Aaron and his sons to minister to Me as priests.
45--’I will dwell among the children of Israel and will be their God.
46--’and they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.
A tabernacle of meeting in Jewish means ‘tent’; it was a place of worship and was buildt to be transported from place to place during the Israelite wanderings in the wilderness for forty years. Another name for tabernacle was ‘dwelling’. The courtyard of the tabernacle was one-hundred fifty feet long, seventy-five feet wide. It contained a wash basin for the priests and an altar for burnt offerings. The tabernacle was forty-five feet long and fifteen feet wide. It was divided into two parts; the fore part contained the lampstand, incense altar and a table with twelve loaves of bread. The inner court housed the Ark of the Covenant or Testimony which contained the tablets of stone with the Ten Commandments. After Solomon built his temple this one was no longer used.
