EXODUS 68 PART 2

If you have not listened to lesson 68 part 1 here’s the link.  It is strongly suggested that you treat part 1 and part 2 as one unit.  In part 1 we study Exodus 28 but with a focus on John 5:39 where Jesus teaches us that scripture testifies of Himself.  All they had was the Hebrew Scriptures in Jesus’ day.  No New Testament.  The first book of the New Testament, 1 Thessalonians, will not be written for another 20 years.  The first gospel perhaps written 30 years later.  So for them THEN Jesus is referring to the Old Testament or the Hebrew Scriptures with the TORAH, the first five books of the Bible, as the most important books at that time.  So, is it possible that Exodus 28 testifies of Yeshua HaMaschiach, Yeshua the Messiah, Jesus the Christ.  Chapter 28 is all about the High Priest and the details the Lord gives Moses about the special clothes of the High Priest and the priests.  But, Jesus is termed the High Priest in the book of Hebrews So, it seem possible that the scriptures of Exodus chapter 28 will testify of the Lord, Jesus, the Messiah and the High Priest.  The link for lesson 68 part 1 is shown below.

The study of the special clothes of the High Priest and the priests is complicated and detailed.  There is so much more that I can teach in a 40-45 minute podcast or vidcast (vidcast = video podcast). 

Shown below is the picture I used in the vidcast to review the high priestly garments.  It might prove helpful as you continue your study as you access the other resources I have included below.

As I indicated in the video I am giving you links to other resources to use to study this topic that will add to your knowledge and enhance and expand your understanding.

The first resource is the scholarly articles from the Temple Institute in Jerusalem.  This is an amazing orthodox Jewish educational website.  It deals with the Temple, the Feasts, the Red Heifer, and so much more.  The links below are to four separate articles that address the clothes of the High Priest.  I know you will find them awesome.

Article 1 – https://templeinstitute.org/priestly-garments/

Article 2 – https://templeinstitute.org/priestly-garments-2/

Article 3 – https://templeinstitute.org/priestly-garments-3/

Article 4 – https://templeinstitute.org/priestly-garments-4/

Another great scholarly website is the IVP Bible Commentary – Old Testament.  They also have a New Testament commentary as well.  This resource is a must if you are serious in your study of the Bible.  Below is the link to the complete IVP Old Testament Commentary as a PDF version.  Simply access the link and go to page 108 in the PDF to find the commentary on Exodus 28.  Here’s the link –

Another great resource that is a must for the serious disciple of Yeshua to learn His Word and enhance and expand your understanding is the International Bible Study Encyclopedia.  Here’s the link to the article on the Urim and Thummim.  Link –

Finally, there is a Christian website called “GotQuestions.org” and it provides another view of the priestly garments and the Urim and Thummim.  I access many times to get an orthodox Christian view of concepts in the Bible.  The links below to GotQuestions.org and self-explanatory.
