Description

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.

29:01 - Exodus 31.12-18 - The Sabbath


30.22 - Exodus 31.18 - God gives Moses the 10 commandments on stone tablets.  He has been up on Mount Saiani for a long time (Since Exodus 19, the last 12 chapters).  He has been receiving instructions from God (the 10 commandments - as well as the Book of the Covenant and the instruction for the Tabernacle and all its elements).


31:22 - The Sabbath



  • Ex 16 - 4x 



  • Ex 20 - 3x 



  • Ex 31 - 3x



  • Ex 35 - 2x 




34:59 - Ex 31.14 “Desecrate, Defileth, Profane” 



  • ḥālal  חָלַל



  • To pollute, desecrate, profane, or defile.  To violate the honor of or to treat as common.



  • Mark 2.27 - Jesus says, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”




39:57 - Why was the Sabbath so important?  Why does God make such a big deal about it in Exodus 31?


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
