When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two Tablets of the Testimony in his hands, after being in the presence and glory of YeHoVaH for forty days and nights without food or drink, he was not aware that his face was radiant. When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses and his radiant face, they were afraid to come near him. They withdrew from him as the people had withdrawn from Mount Sinai when YeHoVaH began to speak to them. Only after Moses called to them did Aaron and all the leaders of the community come back to him and listen as he spoke to them. When the people saw the leaders talking to Moses, they came near him and Moses gave them all the Commands that YeHoVaH had given him on Mount Sinai. Moses wore a veil over his face to alleviate the people’s fear of him, but whenever he entered the Tabernacle and YeHoVaH's presence to speak with Him, Moses removed the veil until he came out.
YeHoVaH had instructed Moses to write down all that He had spoken to Moses so that the communications Moses gave the people came directly from the mouth of YeHoVaH. What Moses wrote is, and was, what YeHoVaH spoke.
In this portion of Exodus 35, Moses communicated to Israel, and those who had joined themselves to Israel, the instructions YeHoVaH had commanded him to write about the Sabbath and the Tabernacle.
In preparation for this study, The Sabbath and The Tabernacle, please read Exodus 35:1-35.
The Sabbath and The Tabernacle
Exodus 35:1-35
December 17, 2021 • Arthur Bailey • Exodus 35
The Anointing, Consecration and The Glory
January 21, 2022 • Arthur Bailey • Exodus 40
The construction of the Tabernacle, the Most Holy Place, the Holy Place, and the Tabernacle Courtyard had all been completed along with the items that would be placed in them. All of this was for the work of the service that would be commanded and performed by the High Priest, the Priests, and the Levites. The holy garments of the High Priest and Priests had been made according to the pattern Moses was given by YeHoVaH. Everything that had been made, under the oversight of Bezaleel and Aholiab, had been brought to Moses to be inspected. After Moses had inspected the work, saw that they had done it just as YeHoVaH had commanded, Moses blessed them. In this final portion of Exodus, Moses receives instructions from YeHoVaH to set up the Tabernacle, the Tent of Meetings, and have everything that had been made placed in the appropriate location in the Tabernacle according to the instructions and setup pattern Moses had been given. In preparation for this study, The Anointing, Consecration and The Glory, please read Exodus 40:1-38.
The Tabernacle, Priestly Garments & Blessing
January 14, 2022 • Arthur Bailey • Exodus 39
The Most Holy Place, the Holy Place, and the Tabernacle Courtyard had all been completed along with the items that would be placed in them for the work of the service that would be commanded and performed by the High Priest, the Priests, and the Levites. YeHoVaH had given Moses the pattern of the Tabernacle and specific instructions for the garments the High Priest and the Priests were required to wear while performing their duties in the Most Holy Place, the Holy Place, and the Tabernacle Courtyard. After the construction was completed, it became obvious that everything in the Tabernacle was instructed to be made portable, not stationary. The Tabernacle was a moveable structure that would be set up, taken down, and moved as the Israelites would wander in the wilderness until entering into the Land of Promise. In this portion of Exodus, the focus turns to the making of the garments for the High Priest and the Priests, as well as the final inspection of everything Moses was instructed to have had made. In preparation for this study of The Tabernacle, Priestly Garments & Blessing, please read Exodus 39:1-43.
The Outer Court
January 7, 2022 • Arthur Bailey • Exodus 38
Moses had been instructed and given the pattern of the Tabernacle by YeHoVaH. The work of constructing the Tabernacle and all of the components needed to do the work had been committed to Bezaleel, Aholiab, and every wise hearted person in whose heart YeHoVaH had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred them up to come and do the work. Moses gave them the pattern and all the offerings that had been given for the work. As the work commenced, a pattern emerged that revealed the order in which the construction of the Sanctuary of YeHoVaH was made. The Most Holy Place and the Holy Place were completed along with the items that would be placed in the Sanctuary for the work of the service that would be commanded. In this portion of Exodus, the focus of the work turns to the construction of an essential, indispensable, vital part of the Tabernacle service. Without it, the work and function of the Priests and High Priest would virtually cease. Join us as we revisit the construction site of the Sanctuary and Tabernacle in the teaching on The Outer Court. In preparation for this study of The Outer Court, please read Exodus 38:1-31.
