In this final Bible Study in Exodus, we see the Tabernacle erected, anointed, and consecrated.  We then see the Glory of the Lord fill the Tabernacle (the Lord has come to abide with his people as promised in Ex 6.6-8).  We take a deep dive into“the cloud” and the “Glory of the Lord” seeing how both play out throughout scripture.  As we wrap up the book of Exodus we see God’s ever-present narrative, woven throughout the Bible, of a loving God reuniting his creation to himself. Outline: 00:57 - Overview of Exodus 40 02:15 - Exodus 40.1-33 - the setting up of all the elements of the Tabernacle along with their anointing and consecration. 06:25 - Exodus 40.2 - “First day of the first month” - v17 adds “the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month in the 2nd year.”  From this, we learn that they are entering the 2nd year of their desert time.  Ex 12.2 is the description of Passover.  Ex 12.10 we learn that it was to take place on the 10th day of the 1st month.  (So they would be celebrating Passover 9 days after consecrating the Tabernacle.  We also learn from Ex 19.1 that it took less than 6 months to build and put together all the elements of the Tabernacle.  08:21 - Exodus 40.9-16 - Anoint and consecrate the Tabernacle.  “Aniont” occurs 10x in Exodus (5x in Ex 40).  Māšaḥ (maw-shakh') מָשַׁח. “To smear, spread liquid, to consecrate.”  Ex 30.22-33 gives us the recipe for the anointing oil. “Consecrate” occurs 16x in Exodus (4x in Ex 40).  qāḏaš (Kaw-Dash) קָדַשׁ.  “To consecrate, sanctify, prepare, dedicate, to be set apart.” 10:07 - Exodus 40.16 - “As the Lord Commanded” - 8x in Ex 40, and 10x in Ex 39 10:50 - Exodus 33 - The Tabernacle is fully set up.  “And so Moses finished the work.” v33 12:59 - Exodus 40.34-38, the Glory of the Lord fills the Tabernacle  13:45 -  “The cloud” - 49x in 44 verses. Occurs 11 times in Exodus and 14 times in Num as the text documents Israel’s wanderings in the desert.  The pillar of cloud was a guide for Israel.  Another awesome instance of the Cloud of God can be found in the New Testament,  the transfiguration.  Matt 17, Mark 9, and Luke 9 document the story of Jesus, Peter, James, and John on a mountaintop.  Jesus is praying and he is transformed into pure light before them, then they see Moses and Elijah standing with him.  Then a cloud comes and covers all of them and Luke 9.35 tells us that “a voice came from the cloud saying, ‘this is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.’”   17:57 - The “Glory of the Lord” in the Bible. It occurs 36 times in the NIV; 6 in Exodus; In 1 Kings ch 6-8 and 2 Chronicles ch 3-7. Ezekiel 8-11 is the retelling of a vision that Ezekiel had that was a warning for the Israelites in exile in Babylon; it tells of the Glory of the Lord leaving the temple due to Israel’s idolatry.  Eze 8.1, 4, 6; 9.3, 9; 10.4, 18-19; 11.23; 43.1-5.  We see the Glory of the Lord return to earth in Luke 2.8-11 as well as in John 1.1, 14.  No longer is the Glory in the temple, it is in Christ, walking amongst us! 31:49 - Final point.  The Tabernacle and Temple were where God dwelt with his people.  Where does he dwell today?  Ex 6.6-8, Ex 40.34, 2 Chr 7.1-3, 1 Cor 3.16 and 6.19. 35:37 - conclusion.

In this study, we see God reiterate the importance of keeping the Sabbath.  We see the Israelites volunteer the materials needed to build the Tabernacle, all provided by God (as foretold in Genesis).  And we see all the skilled workers called forward, including Bezalel and Oholiab.  This brings us into our final segment of the book of Exodus, as we see the Tabernacle built and blessed by God. Outline: 00:31 - Review and outline 01:49 - Exodus 35.1-3 Sabbath Regulations reviewed. Verses: Ex 16.23; Gen 2.3; Ex 20.8-11; Ex 31:12-18; Ex 35.1-3 Important NT passages regarding the Sabbath: Mrk 2.27; Col 2.16; Rom 14.5-6; Gal 2.15-16 12:27 - Exodus 35.4-9 -  A call to bring the elements.

In this Bible study, we wrap up our three-part series looking at Israel’s fall into Idolatry in Exodus 32 followed by a look at Moses’ relationship with the Lord.  God tested Moses by offering to create a new nation through him (Ex 32.10), but Moses selflessly pleaded with the Lord and offered himself as an atonement for their sin (Ex 32.31-32).  In Exodus 33 and 34 we see a back-and-forth conversation between God and Moses which ends with God’s renewing of the covenant promises started in Exodus 19.  We also see an amazing declaration of God’s name and his character in Ex 34:6-7 which Dave spends a good deal of time discussing in this Bible study. Outline: 01:28 - Recap 05:16 - Exodus 34.1-4  07:44 - Exodus 34.5-7 - God’s Glory and His name.  This is a declaration that is foundational to all Jewish and Christian theology.  Moses repeats these words in Numbers 14 (at Kadesh-Barna).  Num 14.18; Neh 9.9-21; Jona 4.1-4, Psa 86.15; Psa 103.6-18; Rom 2.1-6; 2 Pet 3.9; Rom 3.23; 1 Jhn 4.9-10; Rom 10.9-10; Rev 3.20 27:40 - Generational Sin 29:46 - Exodus 34.8-9 - Moses pleads again for his people 30:29 - Exodus 34.10-11 - God renews his covenant. 32:31 - Exodus 34.12-28 - God reminds them of specific (important) details of the covenant. 45:25 - Fasting - Moses fasted 40 days and 40 nights without bread or water.  Matt 6 Study on Matthew 6 (Fasting): https://youtu.be/mqqtXApiPVs?si=e1ZjMxKlhZi4-Tzd&t=1874 47:18 - Exodus 34.29-35 - Moses radiates the glory and love of the Lord.  Mat 17.1-13; Psa 34.5; 2 Cor 3.7-18 Wiersbe said it well, “when a child of God, looks into the Word of God and sees the Son of God, he (or she) is transformed by the Spirit of God into the image of God for the glory of God.” God renewed his promise and showed Moses a glimpse of His Glory.  God forgave the sins of the nation and Moses returned to the people with the stone tablets.   Support Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donate Listen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheep Contact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.org Be notified of each new teaching, join the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD Books/resources used or referenced: Dave reads from an NIV (New International Version) of the Bible.

In this Bible study, we look at the aftermath of the Golden Calf incident of Exodus 32.  God continues to test Moses, and Moses continues to stand up for Israel selflessly.  We talk about Moses' tent of meeting and unpack what it means that God spoke to Moses face to face “as one speaks to a friend.”  We also ask what Moses meant when he asked God to “Show me your glory.”   We conclude this study with a look at anthropomorphism and the characteristics that God puts on himself to help us be able to better understand Him.

This is a longer then usual study which covers some major topics including God's book of Life, the wrath and judgment of God and how both point to Christ. We also talk about Moses being tested by God, about Israel falling back on their old ways of idolatry, and about Anthropopathism (what the heck is that)??? Outline: 00:12 - 3-part series around Moses (Exodus 32-34) 00:52 - Context is key for this chapter - who, what, where, and when.  Ex 19.6, Ex 19.8, Ex 24.3, Ex 24.7, Ex 6.6-8 06:16 - Exodus 32 13:15 - Ex 32.1 - “so long” - Ex 24.18 & Dt 9.9-12 20:17 - Ex 32.4 - why did they make a golden calf?  A calf (or a bull) was a common idol in the ancient Near East; they were thought to be able to support the god on their back.  As a conduit to the deity.  22:43 - What is Aaron’s role in the Golden Calf incident?  Ex 24.14 - Aaron & Hur are left in charge.  Aaron does not seem to fight this at all.  Ex 32.22-24, Duet 9.20  27:43 - Where is Hur in all this?  Ex 24.14 puts BOTH of them in charge.  There is no account.  One of two things must be true, either he is complicit or complacent in the matter.  IE: either he helped or he did nothing. 30:22 - What does Ex 24:6 mean by Revelry?  NIV: “Indulge in Revelry.”  NLT “indulge in pagan revelry.”  AMP “to play (shamefully, without moral restraint).  NASB “engage in lewd behavior.”  BBE (Bible in Basic English) “they gave themselves to pleasure” 32:02 - Ex 24.7-10 - The Lord tests Moses.  God says he will destroy Israel and make a new nation out of Moses.  Moses pleads with God and reminds him of the Abrahamic Covenant (that he swore on himself to fulfill). The Abrahamic covenant is covered in Gen 12, 15, 17, 22, 36:11 - Ex 32.14 - God Relents?  Can God change his mind?  Num 23.19, Mal 3.6, Jas 1.17, Ex 32.14, Jonah 3.5-10, Gen 6.6. 39:35 - Anthropopathism., “Anthropopathism is the attribution of human feelings, emotions, or passions to a non-human being, especially a deity. For example, Bible translations may use words like "regret" and "repent" to describe God's reaction to human sin, but anthropopathism doesn't mean that God actually experiences regret and repentance like humans do.”  Isa 55.8-9.  What is a conditional statement vs an unconditional statement? Gen 12.2-3, 2 Sam 7.16, Jer 18.1-10, Rev 1.8 47:19 - Application - We are to be like clay in God’s hands. 49:20 - Moses comes down off the mountain.  50:16 - Ex 32.26-29.  God’s wrath and judgment in the Old Testament.  Num 16, Num 25,  Gen 19, Gen 6-9, Rev 6-16, Rev 20:11-15, 2 Pt 3.09 59:24 -   Exodus 32.30-33  What is God’s book?  What is the Lamb’s Book of Life?  Rev 20.11-15, Rev 3.5, 13.8 & 21.27, Rom 8.35-39, Ex 32.30-33, Psa 69.28 59:25 - Exodus 32.30-33  What is God’s book?  What is the Lamb’s Book of Life?  Can you be taken out of God’s Book of Life?  Can you lose your salvation?  Rev 20.11-15, Rev 3.5, 13.8 & 21.27, Rom 8.35-39, Ex 32.30-33, Psa 69.28 1:05:43 - Exodus 32.30-33 - Moses offers his life in atonement for Israel’s sin! 1:08:02 - Conclusions and application.  1 Cor 10.1-14 - Paul uses Israel’s mistakes as a warning to the Corinthians (and us today).

In this Bible study, we are covering Exodus 31 in which we see God appoint the workers to build the Tabernacle and all its elements.  God appoints Bezalel as the lead and Oholiab as his assistant.  We talk about these two men and what we know about them from the scriptures.  Additionally, God ends Exodus 31 with a call to keep the Sabbath; we unpack why this is here and what it means. Outline: 00:05 - introduction and prayer 02:01 - Exodus 31.1-11 - Bezalel & Oholiab - God’s calling 04:43 - Who is Bezalele & Oholiab in the Bible? 04:21 - Bezalele (bᵊṣal'ēl) - בְּצַלְאֵל His name means: “In the shadow of God” or “in the hand of God” Ex 31.2, 35.30, 36.1-2, 37.1, 38.22, and 2 Chr 1.5 08:00 - Oholiab ('āhŏlî'āḇ) - אָהֳלִיאָב His name means: “father’s tent” Ex 31.6, 17, 35.34, 36.1-2, 38.23 10:09 - Why did God choose these two guys to build the Tabernacle?  Why did he call them out by name for the work? 12:23 Application: Answering God’s call in your life.

It was a sign that Israel was following his call, and admitting that He is God and that He brought them out of bondage in Egypt.  It is showing God respect and following his call.  43:27 - conclusions Support Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donate Listen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheep Contact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.org Be notified of each new teaching, join the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD Past videos referenced:  The Sabbath: Exodus 20.8-11 - the 4th commandment  https://youtu.be/PrHBMQTZjDY Establishment of the Sabbath - Exodus 16 Short video: https://youtu.be/BGwbdS6Jlx8 Full video: https://youtu.be/5myeehRVf5o Books/resources used or referenced: Dave reads from an NIV (New International Version) of the Bible.

In this Bible Study, we look at Exodus 29 and the consecration process of the Hebrew High Priest, Aaron (and his sons). We look at the different elements of the ordination process. The study includes a look at what a sin offering is, as well as a burnt offering and a wave offering. Ultimately we see the point of not only the high priest, the Tabernacle, the book of Exodus, and the entire Bible is God’s clear desire, (and provision) to dwell with His people. Outline: 06:00 - introduction 01:26 - Elements of the consecration process found in Exodus 29 and Leviticus 8 The priests were washed (Ex 29.4 & Lev 8.6) The priests were clothed (Ex 29.5-6,8-9. 29-30 & Lev 8.7-9, 13) The priests were anointed (Ex 29.7, 21 & Lev 8.10-12, 30) The priests were forgiven (Ex 29.10-14) The priests were completely dedicated to God (Ex 29.15-18 & Lev 8.18-21) The priests were marked by the blood (Ex 29.19-22 & Lev 8.22-24) The priests were fed (Ex 29.22-28, 31-34 & Lev 8.25-29) The priests charged to minister daily (Ex 29.38-46) 02:58 - Consecration: Blue letter Bible: Millu מִלֻּא.

Heb 13.11-12, Jesus is our sin offering! 17:37 - Exodus 29.15-18. “Burnt offering” or a “food offering to the Lord.” This is the oldest form of offering recorded in the Bible.

What does the Bible say about Slavery?  This week we look at Exodus 21:1-11 which holds the ordinances for the Israelites on how to deal with their Hebrew slaves (Jews that were slaves within the Jewish camp).  To better understand what the Bible has to say on the subject we additionally look at Leviticus 25:39-43 and Deuteronomy 15:12-18. Slavery was a common practice of all people groups in Moses' day as well as in Jesus’ day.  In this study, we look at what Jesus has to say to us in how we treat one another and how we ought to serve Him, as a bondslave, a slave by choice. The Bible is not a political book, it tells God’s people how they ought to interact with each other and with Him.  That call is clear, regardless of our station in life, we are to put God first in everything and lift up everyone around us higher than ourselves.  Slave or free we are to work for everyone as working for the Lord, and lift others above ourselves.  Read: 1 Cor 7.17-24, Eph 6:5-9, Php 2:1-18 Outline 01:16 - Introduction: The Book of the Covenant, Ex 21.1-6, 7-11, Slavery in the NT, what does it mean to be a bondservant for Christ? 01:45 - Does the Bible condone slavery? 03:35 - What is the Book of the Covenant?  (Exo 24.7; 2 Kgs 23.2; 2 Chr 34.30; 2 Kgs 23.21) 08:42 - Ex 21.1-11 10:08 - Lev 25.39-43 11:11 - Deut 15.12-18 12:29 - Context: understanding slavery in Moses’ day. Ex 1.14 13:32 - How would someone become a slave? 15:16 - What is the Year of Jubilee? - Lev 25:8-55 18:03 - A slave by choice, what is a bondslave? (Rom 1.1; Phil 1.1; Jam 1.1; 2 Pet 1.1; Jude 1.1) 18:53 - Application for today; we are to be servants by choice (Mat 16.24-27) 20:53 - Dig Deeper read Jeremiah 34.8-22 21:31 - Ex 21.7-11 22:12 - Are women to be treated as property according to the Bible? 25:27 - what is a kinsmen redeemer?
