Welcome to the Bible Study Podcast. 4 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: I'm your host, Chris Christensen. This is, again, going to 5 00:00:26,340 --> 00:00:30,050 Speaker 1: be another quick episode here Not a lot of commentary here. 6 00:00:30,070 --> 00:00:32,590 Speaker 1: We're going to finish doing the things that they're making 7 00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:35,830 Speaker 1: to set up the tabernacle and all the related things. 8 00:00:36,370 --> 00:00:38,750 Speaker 1: And then next week, we're going to put this all together. 9 00:00:39,590 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: But first, a word from this sponsor. Exodus 38, the 10 00:00:43,140 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: altar of burnt offering. They built the altar of burnt 11 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,979 Speaker 1: offering of acacia wood, three cubits high. It was square, 12 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,460 Speaker 1: five cubits long, and five cubits wide. They made a 13 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: horn at each of the four corners, said that the 14 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,380 Speaker 1: horns on the altar were of one piece. and they 15 00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:00,780 Speaker 1: overlaid the altar with bronze. They made all its utensils 16 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: of bronze, its pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and 17 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: fire pans. They made a grating for the altar, a 18 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: bronze network to be under its ledge, halfway up the altar. 19 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,740 Speaker 1: They cast bronze rings to hold the poles for the 20 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,619 Speaker 1: four corners of the bronze grating. They made the poles 21 00:01:17,660 --> 00:01:20,559 Speaker 1: of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. They inserted 22 00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: the poles into the rings so that they could be 23 00:01:22,250 --> 00:01:24,750 Speaker 1: on the sides of the altar for carrying it. They 24 00:01:24,790 --> 00:01:27,810 Speaker 1: made it hollow out of boards. So again, we've got 25 00:01:27,850 --> 00:01:31,619 Speaker 1: a portable altar here where we're going to do burnt offerings, 26 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: where we're going to cook the meat of animals that 27 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,100 Speaker 1: have been sacrificed, and that's what they built. The Basin 28 00:01:38,180 --> 00:01:41,420 Speaker 1: for Washing. They made the bronze basin and its bronze 29 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,630 Speaker 1: stand from the mirrors of the women who served at 30 00:01:44,650 --> 00:01:47,870 Speaker 1: the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. I thought that 31 00:01:47,910 --> 00:01:51,130 Speaker 1: was interesting. I didn't remember that detail, that they had 32 00:01:51,310 --> 00:01:54,970 Speaker 1: used the bronze of mirrors to make the basin for washing. Interesting. 33 00:01:55,690 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: The courtyard. Next they made the courtyard. The south side 34 00:01:58,220 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: was 100 cubits long and had curtains of finely twisted 35 00:02:01,340 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: linen with 20 poles and 20 bronze bases and with 36 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,460 Speaker 1: silver hooks and bands on the posts. The north side 37 00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:12,660 Speaker 1: was also 100 cubits long and had 20 posts and 38 00:02:12,660 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: 20 bronze bases with silver hooks and bands on the posts. 39 00:02:17,060 --> 00:02:19,620 Speaker 1: The west end was 50 cubits wide and had curtains 40 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: with 10 poles and 10 bases with silver hooks and 41 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,940 Speaker 1: bands on the posts. The east end Toward the sunrise 42 00:02:25,980 --> 00:02:30,279 Speaker 1: was also 50 cubits wide. Curtains 15 cubits long were 43 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,700 Speaker 1: on the one entrance with three posts and three bases, 44 00:02:33,810 --> 00:02:36,590 Speaker 1: and curtains 15 cubits long were on the other end 45 00:02:36,620 --> 00:02:38,910 Speaker 1: of the entrance to the courtyard with three posts and 46 00:02:38,970 --> 00:02:41,690 Speaker 1: three bases. All the curtains around the courtyard were a 47 00:02:41,770 --> 00:02:45,070 Speaker 1: finely twisted linen. The bases of the posts were bronze. 48 00:02:45,470 --> 00:02:48,250 Speaker 1: The hooks and bands of the posts were silver, and 49 00:02:48,270 --> 00:02:51,030 Speaker 1: their tops were overlaid with silver, so the posts of 50 00:02:51,050 --> 00:02:54,220 Speaker 1: the courtyard had silver bands. Curtains for the entrance to 51 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,370 Speaker 1: the courtyard were made of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn 52 00:02:57,530 --> 00:03:00,790 Speaker 1: and finely twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer. It 53 00:03:00,830 --> 00:03:03,370 Speaker 1: was 20 cubits long and like the curtains of the courtyard, 54 00:03:03,450 --> 00:03:07,130 Speaker 1: five cubits high. With four posts and four bronze bases, 55 00:03:07,490 --> 00:03:10,329 Speaker 1: their hooks and bands were silver and their tops were 56 00:03:10,389 --> 00:03:13,410 Speaker 1: overlaid with silver. All the tent pegs of the tabernacle 57 00:03:13,810 --> 00:03:17,970 Speaker 1: and the surrounding courtyard were bronze. So again, we're making 58 00:03:18,230 --> 00:03:22,190 Speaker 1: a square outline or a rectangular outline rather than that 59 00:03:22,470 --> 00:03:27,100 Speaker 1: is walls made with just linen because this has to 60 00:03:27,139 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: be portable, but it has a structure that there is 61 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,780 Speaker 1: an inside and an outside, and the inside is the courtyard. 62 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: It has no roof over it, and the tabernacle would 63 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: be inside this. But again, as they are moving, all 64 00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:41,860 Speaker 1: of this is going to be disassembled. You take things 65 00:03:41,940 --> 00:03:44,820 Speaker 1: off the poles, you pack it up, and you move on. 66 00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:48,940 Speaker 1: The materials used. These are the amounts of materials used 67 00:03:48,970 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: for the tabernacle. the tabernacle of the covenant law, which 68 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: were recorded at Moses' command by the Levites under the 69 00:03:55,140 --> 00:03:59,460 Speaker 1: direction of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest. Bazalel, son 70 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 71 00:04:02,060 --> 00:04:06,110 Speaker 1: made everything the Lord commanded Moses. With him was Ohaliab, 72 00:04:06,310 --> 00:04:09,790 Speaker 1: son of Hesamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver 73 00:04:09,890 --> 00:04:12,830 Speaker 1: and designer, and an embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet 74 00:04:12,870 --> 00:04:15,930 Speaker 1: yarn and fine linen. The total amount of gold from 75 00:04:15,950 --> 00:04:18,089 Speaker 1: the wave offering used for all the work on the 76 00:04:18,130 --> 00:04:23,500 Speaker 1: sanctuary was was 29 talents and 730 shekels, according to 77 00:04:23,550 --> 00:04:27,469 Speaker 1: the sanctuary shekel. The silver obtained from those of the 78 00:04:27,510 --> 00:04:30,669 Speaker 1: community who were counted in the census was 100 talents 79 00:04:31,370 --> 00:04:38,510 Speaker 1: and 1,775 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel. One becca 80 00:04:38,690 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: per person, that is half a shekel, according to the 81 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,980 Speaker 1: sanctuary shekel, from everyone who had crossed over to those 82 00:04:45,060 --> 00:04:50,930 Speaker 1: counted 20 years old or more, a total of 603,550 men. 83 00:04:51,470 --> 00:04:54,050 Speaker 1: The 100 talents of silver were used to cast the 84 00:04:54,089 --> 00:04:57,290 Speaker 1: bases for the sanctuary and for the curtain, the 100 85 00:04:57,290 --> 00:05:01,419 Speaker 1: bases from the 100 talents, one talent for each base. 86 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,340 Speaker 1: They used the 1,775 shekels to make the hooks for 87 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,020 Speaker 1: the posts, to overlay the tops of the posts, and 88 00:05:09,060 --> 00:05:12,060 Speaker 1: to make their bands. The bronze from the wave offering 89 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,300 Speaker 1: was 70 talents and 2,400 shekels. They used it to 90 00:05:16,339 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: make the bases for the entrances to the tent at 91 00:05:18,339 --> 00:05:21,109 Speaker 1: the meeting, the bronze altar with its bronze grating and 92 00:05:21,170 --> 00:05:24,670 Speaker 1: all its utensils, the bases for the surrounding courtyard, and 93 00:05:24,710 --> 00:05:27,310 Speaker 1: those for its entrance and all the tent pegs for 94 00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:31,500 Speaker 1: the tabernacle, and those for the surrounding courtyard. So the 95 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: total weight that we're talking about in bronze is like 96 00:05:33,860 --> 00:05:37,299 Speaker 1: two and a half tons. The total weight in gold 97 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,060 Speaker 1: is about a ton or a metric ton. And so 98 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,219 Speaker 1: we've got a lot of gold, a lot of silver 99 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,770 Speaker 1: and things. And when we talk about bases... So we're 100 00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:48,460 Speaker 1: going to take a big hunk of metal in some 101 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,260 Speaker 1: particular shape, probably round with a hole in the middle. 102 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: We're going to put a pole sticking up. Then we're 103 00:05:54,260 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: going to hang these curtains that are the walls of 104 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: the courtyard or of the tabernacle on these poles as 105 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,090 Speaker 1: we go around here. And they're heavy because we're going 106 00:06:06,110 --> 00:06:07,910 Speaker 1: to be setting this up in the desert. It might 107 00:06:07,970 --> 00:06:11,770 Speaker 1: be in sand. It might be in scrub brush or whatever, 108 00:06:11,810 --> 00:06:13,789 Speaker 1: but they have to be able to hold the pulls 109 00:06:13,870 --> 00:06:17,050 Speaker 1: up so nothing falls down. We're going to continue on 110 00:06:17,130 --> 00:06:19,740 Speaker 1: to Exodus 39 here because I want to get back 111 00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: to the narrative part here, away from the DIY home 112 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: improvement part of Exodus, and we're almost there. Exodus 39, 113 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,790 Speaker 1: the priestly garments. From the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, 114 00:06:32,820 --> 00:06:35,870 Speaker 1: they made woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary. They 115 00:06:35,890 --> 00:06:38,810 Speaker 1: also made sacred garments for Aaron as the Lord commanded Moses. 116 00:06:39,350 --> 00:06:42,700 Speaker 1: The ephod, they made the ephod of gold and of blue, purple, 117 00:06:42,740 --> 00:06:45,860 Speaker 1: and scarlet yarn, and a finely twisted linen. They hammered 118 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,150 Speaker 1: out thin sheets of gold and cut strands to be 119 00:06:48,190 --> 00:06:52,090 Speaker 1: worked into the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen, 120 00:06:52,130 --> 00:06:54,990 Speaker 1: the work of skilled hands. They made shoulder pieces for 121 00:06:55,010 --> 00:06:57,789 Speaker 1: the ephod, which were attached to two of its corners 122 00:06:58,250 --> 00:07:01,859 Speaker 1: so that it could be fastened. Its skillfully woven waistband 123 00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:04,220 Speaker 1: was like it of one piece with the ephod and 124 00:07:04,260 --> 00:07:07,940 Speaker 1: made with gold and with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn 125 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,700 Speaker 1: and with finely twisted linen as the Lord commanded Moses. 126 00:07:12,170 --> 00:07:15,950 Speaker 1: They mounted the onyx stones in gold filigree settings and 127 00:07:16,190 --> 00:07:18,590 Speaker 1: engraved them with a seal with the names of the 128 00:07:18,630 --> 00:07:21,660 Speaker 1: sons of Israel. Then they fastened them on the shoulder 129 00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:24,740 Speaker 1: pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons 130 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: of Israel as the Lord commanded Moses. So I'm picturing 131 00:07:28,620 --> 00:07:32,530 Speaker 1: here with the ephod, we've got basically a breast piece 132 00:07:32,730 --> 00:07:36,310 Speaker 1: and a back piece that are coming over the shoulders 133 00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:39,950 Speaker 1: of the priest and And they're going to be actually 134 00:07:40,070 --> 00:07:42,190 Speaker 1: kind of heavy here with all the gold and the 135 00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:46,030 Speaker 1: stones and such. But the stones on it being one 136 00:07:46,130 --> 00:07:49,310 Speaker 1: for each of the sons of Israel, so one for 137 00:07:49,390 --> 00:07:52,770 Speaker 1: each of the tribes of Israel. The breast piece, they 138 00:07:52,830 --> 00:07:56,070 Speaker 1: fastened the breast piece, the work of a skilled craftsman. 139 00:07:56,180 --> 00:07:59,620 Speaker 1: They made it like the ephod of gold and a blue, purple, 140 00:07:59,740 --> 00:08:03,100 Speaker 1: and scarlet yarn and a finely twisted linen. It was square, 141 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: a span long and a span wide and folded double. 142 00:08:07,690 --> 00:08:10,150 Speaker 1: Then they mounted four rows of precious stones on it. 143 00:08:10,210 --> 00:08:13,810 Speaker 1: The first row was carnelian, chrysolite, and beryl. The second 144 00:08:13,850 --> 00:08:18,430 Speaker 1: row was turquoise, lapis lazuli, and emerald. The third row 145 00:08:18,490 --> 00:08:23,340 Speaker 1: was jacinth, agate, and amethyst. The fourth row was topaz, onyx, 146 00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: and jasper. They were mounted in gold filigree settings. There 147 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,740 Speaker 1: were twelve stones, one for each of the names of 148 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,900 Speaker 1: the sons of Israel, which each engraved like a seal 149 00:08:32,940 --> 00:08:35,660 Speaker 1: with the name of one of the twelve tribes. For 150 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,380 Speaker 1: the breastpiece They made braided chains of pure gold like 151 00:08:39,420 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: a rope. They made two gold filigree settings and two 152 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: gold rings and fastened the rings to two of the 153 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: corners of the breast piece. They fastened the two gold 154 00:08:49,020 --> 00:08:51,860 Speaker 1: chains to the rings at the corners of the breast 155 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: piece and the other ends to the chains of the 156 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,350 Speaker 1: two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the 157 00:08:57,410 --> 00:09:00,109 Speaker 1: ephod at the front. They made two gold rings and 158 00:09:00,130 --> 00:09:02,170 Speaker 1: attached them to the other two corners of the breast 159 00:09:02,210 --> 00:09:05,490 Speaker 1: piece on the inside edge next to the ephod. They 160 00:09:05,530 --> 00:09:07,890 Speaker 1: made two gold rings and attached them to the bottom 161 00:09:07,970 --> 00:09:10,550 Speaker 1: of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod 162 00:09:10,650 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: close to the seam just above the waistband of the ephod. 163 00:09:13,900 --> 00:09:16,100 Speaker 1: They tied the rings of the breast piece to the 164 00:09:16,140 --> 00:09:19,939 Speaker 1: rings of the ephod with blue cord connecting it to 165 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: the waistband so that the breast piece would not swing 166 00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:26,819 Speaker 1: out from the ephod as the Lord commanded Moses. Other 167 00:09:26,860 --> 00:09:29,470 Speaker 1: priestly garments. They made the robe of the ephod entirely 168 00:09:29,530 --> 00:09:32,170 Speaker 1: of blue cloth, the work of a weaver, with an 169 00:09:32,309 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: opening in the center of the robe like the opening 170 00:09:35,059 --> 00:09:37,819 Speaker 1: of a collar and a band around this opening so 171 00:09:37,860 --> 00:09:41,459 Speaker 1: that it would not tear. They made pomegranates of blue, purple, 172 00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen around the hem 173 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,020 Speaker 1: of the robe, and they made bells of pure gold 174 00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:50,420 Speaker 1: and attached them around the hem between the pomegranates. The 175 00:09:50,450 --> 00:09:53,210 Speaker 1: bells of the pomegranates alternated around the hem of the 176 00:09:53,250 --> 00:09:56,809 Speaker 1: robe to be worn for ministering as the Lord commanded Moses. 177 00:09:57,370 --> 00:09:59,809 Speaker 1: For Aaron and his sons, they made tunics of fine 178 00:09:59,830 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: linen the work of a weaver, and the turban of 179 00:10:02,700 --> 00:10:06,300 Speaker 1: fine linen, the linen caps and the undergarments of finely 180 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,469 Speaker 1: twisted linen. The sash was made of finely twisted linen 181 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,410 Speaker 1: and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, the work of an 182 00:10:12,470 --> 00:10:16,110 Speaker 1: embroiderer as the Lord commanded Moses. They made the plate, 183 00:10:16,290 --> 00:10:19,510 Speaker 1: the sacred emblem out of pure gold and engraved on 184 00:10:19,550 --> 00:10:22,230 Speaker 1: it like an inscription on a seal, holy to the Lord. 185 00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:25,010 Speaker 1: Then they fastened a blue cord to attach it to 186 00:10:25,050 --> 00:10:29,140 Speaker 1: the turban as the Lord commanded Moses. So I like 187 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,300 Speaker 1: that the seal here, holy to the Lord. So set 188 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: apart for God's use is what holy means. And so 189 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: this is something that is attached to the turban. So 190 00:10:37,460 --> 00:10:40,500 Speaker 1: the priest is going to have this on his head 191 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: to remember his role, that he has been set apart 192 00:10:44,260 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: for God, for God's use.

Okay, we're getting done. 194 00:10:52,770 --> 00:10:54,550 Speaker 1: So all the work of the tabernacle, the tent of 195 00:10:54,570 --> 00:10:57,370 Speaker 1: meeting was completed. The Israelites did everything just as the 196 00:10:57,429 --> 00:11:00,650 Speaker 1: Lord commanded Moses.

The Israelites had done all the 215 00:12:02,020 --> 00:12:05,500 Speaker 1: work just as the Lord had commanded Moses. Moses inspected 216 00:12:05,540 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: the work and saw that they had done it just 217 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,140 Speaker 1: as the Lord had commanded. So Moses blessed them. That 218 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,910 Speaker 1: phrase keeps coming up. just as the Lord commanded Moses, 219 00:12:14,990 --> 00:12:17,970 Speaker 1: just as the Lord commanded. They're doing all this work 220 00:12:17,990 --> 00:12:21,270 Speaker 1: and they're doing it well. It passes inspection, but they're 221 00:12:21,309 --> 00:12:23,790 Speaker 1: doing it because God told them to. Now, did you 222 00:12:23,890 --> 00:12:28,590 Speaker 1: expect when we started this study of Exodus that we 223 00:12:28,630 --> 00:12:31,829 Speaker 1: would spend so much time out in the middle of nowhere, 224 00:12:32,010 --> 00:12:35,500 Speaker 1: out in the desert, making stuff? I don't know that 225 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,780 Speaker 1: the people of Israel did. They were told they were 226 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,660 Speaker 1: just going to go out of the desert and then 227 00:12:39,780 --> 00:12:44,110 Speaker 1: go to the promised land. And this turned into the 228 00:12:44,130 --> 00:12:47,390 Speaker 1: Home Improvement Channel as they're making all these things or 229 00:12:47,429 --> 00:12:51,809 Speaker 1: the DIY channel or something like that. But they're creating 230 00:12:52,350 --> 00:12:57,090 Speaker 1: their worship space and they're setting up a form of 231 00:12:57,170 --> 00:13:00,910 Speaker 1: worship that will continue until the destruction of the temple. 232 00:13:02,070 --> 00:13:04,770 Speaker 1: And so it will continue for more than a thousand years. 233 00:13:05,950 --> 00:13:08,390 Speaker 1: And with that, we're going to end this episode of 234 00:13:08,429 --> 00:13:11,460 Speaker 1: the Bible Study Podcast.
