Exodus 30 - 32 (9th Feb)

Exodus 30

The continuation of the building of Tabernacle. The Altar of Incense was where the incense burned regularly before the Lord for the rest of the generations (v8). The Basin was where the priests washed their hands and feet with the water from it (v19).

Exodus 31

God had chosen Bezalel from the tribe of Judah to fill him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts (v3). He was such a privileged man. God had chosen him (v2). Then God appointed Oholiab from the tribe of Dan to help Bezalel (v6).
Hi people, God has chosen each of you and given each and everyone of you different gifts and talents to accomplish the things of God. But God appoints each of you with different role just like God appointed Oholiab to help Bezalel. Whether your appointment is big or small, remember, it is for God we served.

Exodus 32


The Israelites became very impatient. They did not know what happened to Moses up at the mountain. So they challenged Aaron to make them a god that will go before them. So Aaron lead the people to give their gold and he it into an idol in the shape of a calf. Aaron broke the commandment of God but please understand that Moses hasn’t come down with the commandments during that time. So Aaron declared that the next day they will celebrate the Festival of the Lord. The word “LORD” that mentioned here is the same Jehovah God (YAHWEH). So to Aaron, he thought it was alright and still worshipped the Lord. But God was angry and called them the stiff-necked people (v9). Then Moses sought favor from the Lord for mercy.

Moses came down with 2 tablets of God’s writing but he threw them out of his hands and broke into pieces because he was angry. Killer Litter!!! Then see what Moses did in v20. It is gross. I will not drink that.
