In chapter 35, Moses once again reiterates the importance of keeping the Sabbath to the people, that it was a holy day for resting. This symbolized the day of rest after God's perfect creation. I saw Bekah ask why we don't recognize the Sabbath anymore. I'd like to...

Due to their sin, God tells the people we won't be going forward with them. This is terrible news! God had been the only reason that they had made it out of Egypt and survived this long. The people repent and after another intercession from Moses, God again sheds his...

Moses is still on the mount and receives the law written with God's own fingertip. The children of Israel decide to backslide into idolatry while Moses is up on the mountain. It's interesting to me that the people recognize their need for God, but are so quick to fill...

Exodus 29 describes the steps that Aaron and his sons had to take day after day to consecrate themselves in order to be able to minister to God. They had to make themselves Holy by meticulously completing each one of the tasks laid out in this chapter. I've always...

In the beginning of chapter 23 God continues giving judgements to the people concerning their relationships and ordinances. Then he begins telling about the Angel he will send before the people into the promised land and warns them about the inhabitants of that land...

Exodus 22 is a continuation of the judgements of property in the latter part of Exodus 21. The verses that stuck out to me are verses 22-24 where God talks about those who cause affliction to widows and fatherless children, In verse 24 he says "And my wrath shall wax...

The first part of Exodus 21 has to do with laws pertaining to the treatment of servants. I find it interesting that Israel had just left Egypt where they were under brutal servitude and now they are their own masters and have become masters of other servants...
