Exodus 25-31 - What to talk about up a mountain for 40 days

Exodus 25-31

These chapters I am not going to go into detail about – they are detailed instructions on how the “tabernacle” or Tent of meeting and all furnishings for God’s dwelling with his people.

It is often a lot easier to draw a picture of the items being discussed.
Fortunately there are a few websites where they have actively modelled the items described in these chapters.

If you have these on the screen and read the chapter you can see what the writer is trying to get at.

All this stuff takes 40 days to discuss

This structure and the contents really are stunning
The chapters describe the tabernacle, everything in it, materials of construction, dimensions, basically all that is needed.
It describes the priestly garments – what the heck is an “Ephod?”


It also tells us who will make all this stuff, how to ordain a Jewish priest, and how to make sacred anointing oil and incense.
