00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,800
Hello, this is Father Paul and I'm glad we're taking this journey together to read the Bible

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:06,800
in a year.

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,960
Yesterday we heard about the preparation for the building of the tabernacle and we also

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:16,960
heard about how Moses had to tell the people to stop giving donations and offerings because

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:18,820
they had too much material.

6
00:00:18,820 --> 00:00:22,080
People donated too much for the building of the tabernacle.

7
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:26,040
And today we're going to hear about the completion of the building of the tabernacle and how

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,840
the glory of God filled the tabernacle and this cloud of glory rested upon the tabernacle

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,560
and how the children of Israel would only be able to continue with their journey towards

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:41,800
the promised land when the cloud of the glory of God is taken up from above the tabernacle.

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,600
Alright, let's begin.

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,100
Today's reading is from chapters 37 to 40.

13
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:49,100
Chapter 37

14
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:52,080
Then Bezalel made the ark of Acacia wood.

15
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,560
Two and a half cubits was its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half

16
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:57,800
its height.

17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:03,500
He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside and made a molding of gold all around it.

18
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:08,120
And he cast for it four rings of gold to be set in its four corners, two rings on one

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,880
side and two rings on the other side of it.

20
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,460
He made poles of Acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

21
00:01:14,460 --> 00:01:18,800
And he put the poles into the rings at the sides of the ark to bear the ark.

22
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,440
He also made the mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits was its length and a

23
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,240
cubit and a half its width.

24
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,600
He made two sherabim of beaten gold.

25
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,160
He made them of one piece at the two ends of the mercy seat, one sherab at one end on

26
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,280
this side and the other sherab at the other end on that side.

27
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,140
He made the sherabim at the two ends of one piece with the mercy seat.

28
00:01:40,140 --> 00:01:44,400
The sherabim spread out their wings above and covered the mercy seat with their wings.

29
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,680
They faced one another.

30
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,760
The faces of the sherabim were toward the mercy seat.

31
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,680
He made the table of Acacia wood, two cubits was its length, a cubit its width and a cubit

32
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,120
and a half its height.

33
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,720
And he overlaid it with pure gold and made a molding of gold all around it.

34
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,680
Also he made a frame of a hand breadth all around it and made a molding of gold for the

35
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,320
frame all around it.

36
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,600
And he cast for it four rings of gold and put the rings on the four corners that were

37
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,360
at its four legs.

38
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,640
The rings were close to the frame as holders for the poles to bear the table.

39
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:20,760
And he made the poles of Acacia wood to bear the table and overlaid them with gold.

40
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:26,320
He made of pure gold the utensils which were on the table, its dishes, its cups, its bowls

41
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,300
and its pitchers for pouring.

42
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:30,680
He also made the lampstand of pure gold.

43
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,960
Of hammered work he made the lampstand.

44
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:39,220
Its shaft, its branches, its bowls, its ornamental knobs and its flowers were of the same piece.

45
00:02:39,220 --> 00:02:41,760
And six branches came out of its sides.

46
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,200
Three branches of the lampstand out of one side and three branches of the lampstand out

47
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,720
of the other side.

48
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:53,040
There were three bowls made like almond blossoms on one branch with an ornamental knob and

49
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,040
a flower.

50
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,240
And three bowls made like almond blossoms on the other branch with an ornamental knob

51
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,440
and a flower.

52
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,900
And so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand.

53
00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:08,200
And on the lampstand itself were four bowls made like almond blossoms each with its ornamental

54
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,720
knob and flower.

55
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,480
There was a knob under the first two branches of the same.

56
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,600
a knob under the second two branches of the same, and a knob under the third two branches

57
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,540
of the same, according to the six branches extending from it.

58
00:03:20,540 --> 00:03:25,080
Their knobs and their branches were of one piece, all of it was one hammered piece of

59
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:31,280
pure gold, and he made its seven lamps, its wick trimmers, and its trays of pure gold.

60
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,240
Of a talent of pure gold he made it, with all its utensils.

64
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,160
He also made for it a molding of gold all around it.

65
00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:00,720
He made two rings of gold for it under its molding, by its two corners on both sides,

66
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,800
as holders for the poles with which to bear it.

67
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,320
And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

68
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,020
He also made the holy anointing oil and the pure incense of sweet spices according to

69
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,500

77
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,840
And he made a grate of bronze network for the altar, under its rim midway from the bottom.

78
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:50,280
He cast four rings for the four corners of the bronze grating, as holders for the poles.

Then he put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to bear it.

81
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,100
He made the altar hollow with boards.

82
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:05,100
He made the laver of bronze and its base of bronze, from the bronze mirrors of the serving

83
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:08,640

00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,080
For the east side the hangings were fifty cubits.

This is the inventory of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, which was counted

112
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,320
according to the commandment of Moses for the service of the Levites by the hand of

113
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,480
Ethamar son of air and the priest.

114
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:55,440
Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hor, of the tribe of Judah made all that the Lord

115
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,980
had commanded Moses.

00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,980
And the silver from those who were numbered of the congregation was one hundred talons

122
00:07:21,980 --> 00:07:27,880
and one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

125
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,880
and three thousand five hundred and fifty men.

126
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,840
And from the hundred talons of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary and the

127
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,680

128
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,960
One hundred sockets from the hundred talons, one talon for each socket.

129
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,560
Then from the one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels he made hooks for the

130
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,400
pillars, overlaid their capitals and made bands for them.

131
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,160
The offering of bronze was seventy talons and two thousand four hundred shekels.

132
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:09,080
And with it he made the sockets for the door of the tabernacle of meeting, the bronze altar,

136
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,440
Chapter 39

137
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,800
Of the blue, purple and scarlet thread they made garments of ministry, for ministering

138
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:34,300
in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron as the Lord had commanded Moses.

139
00:08:34,300 --> 00:08:40,240
He made the ephed of gold, blue, purple and scarlet thread and of fine woven linen.

140
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,960
And they beat the gold into thin sheets and cut it into threads, to work it in with the

141
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:50,080
blue, purple and scarlet thread and the fine linen into artistic designs.

142
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,460
They made shoulder straps for it to couple it together.

143
00:08:53,460 --> 00:08:55,920
It was coupled together at its two edges.

144
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:01,480
And the intricately woven band of his ephed that was on it was of the same workmanship,

145
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:07,240
woven of gold, blue, purple and scarlet thread and of fine woven linen as the Lord had commanded

146
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,360
Moses.

147
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,560
And they set six onyx stones enclosed in settings of gold.

148
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:16,880
They were engraved as signets are engraved with the names of the sons of Israel.

149
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,240
He put them on the shoulders of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel

150
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,500
as the Lord had commanded Moses.

151
00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:28,600
And he made the breastplate artistically woven like the workmanship of the ephod of gold,

152
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,920
blue, purple and scarlet thread and of fine woven linen.

153
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,640
They made the breastplate square by doubling it.

154
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,480
A span was its length and a span its width when doubled.

155
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,960
And they set in it four rows of stones, a row of sardius, a topaz and an emerald was

156
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:45,960

The fourth row a beryl, an onyx and a jasper.

160
00:09:57,860 --> 00:10:00,820
They were enclosed in settings of gold in their mountings.

161
00:10:00,820 --> 00:10:04,900
There were twelve stones according to the names of the sons of Israel, according to

162
00:10:04,900 --> 00:10:09,600
their names engraved like a signet, each one with its own name according to the twelve

163
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:10,660
tribes.

164
00:10:10,660 --> 00:10:15,960
And they made chains for the breastplate at the ends, like braided cords of pure gold.

165
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,360
They also made two settings of gold and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two

166
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,400
ends of the breastplate.

167
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,340
And they put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.

168
00:10:27,340 --> 00:10:31,520
The two ends of the two braided chains they fastened in the two settings and put them

169
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,720
on the shoulder straps of the ephod in the front.

170
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,940
And they made two rings of gold and put them on the two ends of the breastplate on the

171
00:10:38,940 --> 00:10:42,640
edge of it which was on the inward side of the ephod.

172
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,360
They made two other gold rings and put them on the two shoulder straps underneath the

173
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:52,480
ephod toward its front, right at the seam above the intricately woven band of the ephod.

174
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,760
And they bound the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of the ephod with a

175
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:03,000
blue cord, so that it would be above the intricately woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate

176
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,080
would not come loose from the ephod as the Lord had commanded Moses.

177
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,760
He made the robe of the ephod of woven work all of blue, and there was an opening in the

178
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,840
middle of the robe, like the opening in a coat of mail, with a woven binding all around

179
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,320
the opening, so that it would not tear.

180
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:24,200
They made on the hem of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet, and a fine woven

181
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,200
linen.

182
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,440
And they made bells of pure gold and put the bells between the pomegranates on the hem

183
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:35,680
of the robe all around between the pomegranates, a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate,

184
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:40,560
all around the hem of the robe to minister in, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

185
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:46,120
They made tunics artistically woven of fine linen for Aaron and his sons, a turban of

186
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:51,680
fine linen, exquisite hats of fine linen, short trousers of fine woven linen, and a

187
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:57,320
sash of fine woven linen with blue, purple, and scarlet thread, made by a weaver as the

188
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,400
Lord had commanded Moses.

189
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,200
Then they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold and wrote on it an inscription

190
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,200
like the engraving of a signet, holiness to the Lord.

191
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,920
And they tied to it a blue cord to fasten it above on the turban, as the Lord had commanded

192
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:13,920
Moses.

193
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:18,120
Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was finished, and the children

194
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,760
of Israel did according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so they did.

195
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,640
And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its furnishings, its clasps,

196
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:34,040
its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets, the covering of ram skins dyed red,

197
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:39,000
the covering of badger skins, and the veil of the covering, the Ark of the Testimony

198
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:45,120
with its poles and the mercy seat, the table, all its utensils, and the showbread, the pure

199
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:51,160
gold lampstand with its lamps, the lamps set in order, all its utensils, and the oil for

200
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:56,320
light, the gold altar, the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, the screen for the

201
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:02,680
tabernacle door, the bronze altar, its grate of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils,

202
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:08,260
the laver with its base, the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets, the screen

203
00:13:08,260 --> 00:13:14,680
for the court gate, its cords, and its pegs, all the utensils for the service of the tabernacle,

204
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:19,380
for the tent of meeting, and the garments of ministry to minister in the holy place,

205
00:13:19,380 --> 00:13:24,880
the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his son's garments to minister as priests.

206
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,760
According to all that the Lord had commanded Moses so that children of Israel did all the

207
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:29,760
work.

208
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,440
Then Moses looked over all the work and indeed they had done it, as the Lord had commanded

209
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,400
just so they had done it, and Moses blessed them.

210
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,800
Chapter 40 Then the Lord spoke to Moses saying, On the

211
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,480
first day of the first month you shall set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

212
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:51,740
You shall put in it the Ark of the Testimony, and partition off the Ark with the veil.

213
00:13:51,740 --> 00:13:56,440
You shall bring in a table and arrange the things that are to be set in order on it.

214
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,640
And you shall bring in the lampstand and light its lamps.

215
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,840
You shall also set the altar of gold for the incense before the Ark of the Testimony, and

216
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,740
put up the screen for the door of the tabernacle.

217
00:14:06,740 --> 00:14:10,640
Then you shall set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle

218
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,280
of the tent of meeting.

219
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,840
And you shall set the laver between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar, and put water in

220
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:17,840
it.

221
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,000
Then you shall set up the court all around and hang up the screen at the court gate.

222
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,400
And you shall take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it.

223
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,200
And you shall hallow it in all its utensils, and it shall be holy.

224
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:35,080
You shall anoint the altar of the burnt offering in all its utensils, and consecrate the altar.

225
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,400
The altar shall be most holy, and you shall anoint the laver and its base and consecrate

226
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:40,400
it.

227
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,720
Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of meeting and

228
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,300
wash them with water.

229
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:49,360
You shall put the holy garments on Aaron and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may

230
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,880
minister to me as priest.

231
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,800
And you shall bring his sons and clothe them with tunics.

232
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:59,740
You shall anoint them as you anointed their father, that they may minister to me as priests.

233
00:14:59,740 --> 00:15:04,960
For their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

234
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,760
Thus Moses did according to all that the Lord had commanded him, so he did.

235
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,760
And it came to pass in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month,

236
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,920
that the tabernacle was raised up.

237
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:21,320
So Moses raised up the tabernacle, fastened its sockets, set up its boards, put in its

238
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,680
bars and raised up its pillars.

239
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,600
And he spread out the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent on top of

240
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,040
it, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

241
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,200
He took the testimony and put it into the ark, inserted the poles through the rings

242
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,840
of the ark, and put the mercy seed on top of the ark.

243
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,560
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, hung up the veil of the covering and partitioned

244
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,540
off the ark of the testimony as the Lord had commanded Moses.

245
00:15:46,540 --> 00:15:50,480
He put the table in the tabernacle of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle,

246
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,540
outside the veil, and set the bread in order upon it before the Lord,

247
00:15:54,540 --> 00:15:56,760
as the Lord had commanded Moses.

248
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,800
He put the lamp stand in the tabernacle of meeting, across from the table, on the south

249
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,680
side of the tabernacle, and He lit the lamps before the Lord as the

250
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,600
Lord had commanded Moses.

251
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,160
He put the gold altar in the tabernacle of meeting in front of the veil and burnt sweet

252
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,600
incense on it, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

253
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,300
He hung up the screen at the door of the tabernacle, and he put the altar of burnt offering before

254
00:16:19,300 --> 00:16:24,180
the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt offering

255
00:16:24,180 --> 00:16:27,940
and the grain offering, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

256
00:16:27,940 --> 00:16:32,220
He set the laver between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar, and put water there

257
00:16:32,220 --> 00:16:33,460
for washing.

258
00:16:33,460 --> 00:16:37,800
And Moses, Aaron, and his sons would wash their hands and their feet with water from

259
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:38,840
it.

260
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,260
Whenever they went into the tabernacle of meeting, and when they came near the altar

261
00:16:42,260 --> 00:16:45,200
they washed, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

262
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,680
And he raised up the court all around the tabernacle and the altar and hung up the screen

263
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,260
of the court gate, so Moses finished the work.

264
00:16:53,260 --> 00:16:58,480
Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of God filled the tabernacle,

265
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,760
and Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting because the cloud rested above

266
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,460
it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

267
00:17:06,460 --> 00:17:10,100
Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, the children of Israel would

268
00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:12,460
go onward in all their journeys.

269
00:17:12,460 --> 00:17:17,380
But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey till the day that it was taken

270
00:17:17,380 --> 00:17:18,380
up.

271
00:17:18,380 --> 00:17:23,340
For the cloud of the Lord was above the tabernacle by day, and fire was over it by night, in

272
00:17:23,340 --> 00:17:27,760
the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

273
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,680
This marks the end of the book of Exodus, and with this we have just completed two of

274
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,800
the biggest books of the Old Testament, and I want to congratulate you if you've made

275
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:41,720
it this far, or if you just started recently, keep going, you're doing great, and I'm proud

276
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:48,720
of you, and I'm really glad we're taking this journey together.

277
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,340
I hope you enjoyed today's reading as much as I did, and I look forward to seeing you

278
00:17:52,340 --> 00:17:54,400
again tomorrow to continue on our journey.

279
00:17:54,400 --> 00:18:04,560
God bless you, and have a great day.
