Psalms 119:133 Order my steps in Your Word; and do not let any iniquity rule over me.
Chronological Bible Reading for February 9
Exodus 30-32
Exodus 30:1 – The Alter of Incense portrays the repository of the prayers of the people to be located in the Holy Place in front of the curtain that separates the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle. This position is closer to the Ark, that represents the covenant God made, than the Table for Bread or the Lampstand. The smoke from the incense would not only fill the Holy Place but also filter into the Holy of Holies.
Exodus 30:12 – Did David take up a ransom (half a shekel of silver) from each man in Israel when he numbered them? If he had then there would have been no sin against God and no plague of retribution.
Exodus 30:18 – The Bronze Basin represents the washing away of sin just as immersion does in the church. Paul states that Israel was immersed as they passed through the Red Sea and it was by faith that they made that step toward freedom.
Exodus 30:19-21 – Jesus also washed the feet of the disciples before the Passover Meal. I wonder if there was a correlation to this washing.
Exodus 30:22 – God says that we are to come to Him in the correct way, through faith in His plan of salvation and not with wrong motives as Aaron’s sons did.
Exodus 30:23 – This is the recipe for the anointing oil!! Not for the head of man though.
Exodus 32:1 – What happened to “All the words which Jehovah has said, we will do.” Just forty days ago they promised this and now they want a handmade god? The breaking of the promise of the BIG IF has its downside and that is coming.
Exodus 32:11 – Because Moses did not leave God alone but prayed earnestly that the people would be forgiven God did not destroy the people and make a nation out of Moses. Did God change? No there was a condition; God was revealing how Moses felt about the people and about God. I doubt that I could do that.
Exo 32:14 – The word translated “repent” means to sigh, pity, comfort (self), or also repent but not turn.
Exodus 32:24 – Liar, Liar
Exodus 32:27 – Evidently not all of the people were a part of this wild party but it did bring on the downside of offending God.
Exodus 32:33 – God does not hold the guiltless responsible for the guilty. Even if both perish in the same event those that Trust in God and follow through His Word are kept in the Book of Life while the guilty are blotted out. God will not hold David’s first son with Bathsheba responsible for David’s sin. David does say that he will be able to go to his son in the end.
Exodus 32:35 – God knows who is guilty and takes measures to defend His Word that the people agreed to obey.
