00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,040
Hello, this is Father Paul and I'm glad we're taking this journey together to read the Bible

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,760
in a year.

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:14,680
Yesterday we heard about God giving Moses the law and how Moses went back to the people

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:19,260
and told them the law and they all said we will obey everything that the Lord has said.

5
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:22,640
And today we're going to hear about the instructions that God gives Moses about the building and

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,240
the tabernacle, about all the materials and how they are all to be put together.

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:28,840
Alright let's begin.

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,400
Today's reading is from Exodus 25, 26 and 27.

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,280
Chapter 25

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,440
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring

11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,940
me an offering.

12
00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:45,340
From everyone who gives it willingly, with his heart you shall take my offering.

13
00:00:45,340 --> 00:00:50,920
And this is the offering which you shall take from them, gold, silver and bronze, blue,

14
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:57,880
purple and scarlet thread, fine linen and goat's hair, ram skins dyed red, badger skins

15
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:04,000
and acacia wood, oil for the light and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,800
onyx stones and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate.

17
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,640
And let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them.

18
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,580
According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern

19
00:01:16,580 --> 00:01:20,180
of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it.

20
00:01:20,180 --> 00:01:25,080
And they shall make an ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits shall be its length,

21
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,000
a cubit and half its width, and a cubit and half its height.

22
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,280
And you shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and shall make

23
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,920
on it a molding of gold all around.

24
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,960
You shall cast four rings of gold for it and put them in its four corners.

25
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:45,600
Two rings shall be on one side and two rings on the other side.

26
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,620
And you shall make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.

27
00:01:49,620 --> 00:01:53,520
You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, that the ark may be

28
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,920
carried by them.

29
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,640
The poles shall be in the rings of the ark, they shall not be taken from it.

30
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,500
And you shall put into the ark the testimony which I will give you.

31
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:07,920
You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits shall be its length

32
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,440
and a cubit and a half its width.

33
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,480
And you shall make two sherbim of gold, of hammered work you shall make them at the two

34
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,420
ends of the mercy seat.

35
00:02:17,420 --> 00:02:20,980
Make one sherb at one end and the other sherb at the other end.

36
00:02:20,980 --> 00:02:25,680
You shall make the sherbim at the two ends of it of one piece with the mercy seat.

37
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,800
And the sherbim shall stretch out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their

38
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:30,800
wings.

39
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,680
And they shall face one another, the faces of the sherbim shall be toward the mercy seat.

40
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,240
You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony

41
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,640
that I will give you.

42
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:45,800
And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat,

43
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,980
from between the two sherbim which are on the ark of the testimony, about everything

44
00:02:49,980 --> 00:02:53,360
which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.

45
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,560
You shall also make a table of acacia wood, two cubits shall be its length, a cubit its

And you shall overlay it with pure gold, and make a molding of gold all around.

And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that

51
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,320

00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,960
The rings shall be closed to the frame, as holders for the poles to bear the table.

53
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,760
And you shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table

54
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,240

Then you shall bring the Ark of the Testimony in there, behind the veil.

00:08:55,660 --> 00:09:00,600
The veil shall be a divider for you between the Holy Place and the Most Holy.

146
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,940
You shall put the Mercy Seat upon the Ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy.

147
00:09:04,940 --> 00:09:09,200
You shall set the table outside the veil and the lampstand across from the table on the

148
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,800
