#030 Exodus 33-35

Day 30 of the podcast, reading Exodus 33-35 NET, read along at: https://netbible.org/bible/Exodus+33-35/ This is day 30 of our journey. God is still angry with Israel for their idolatry and, instead of dwelling amongst His people, God plans to send them away from his holy mountain with an angel to lead them to the Promised Land. Knowing the great need of the people, Moses claims God's promises and intercedes on their behalf. In response, God chooses to renew his covenant, forgives the Israelites, and commits (once again) to stay by their side. Because of this, the nations of the world would see that the people of Israel were distinct because the Almighty God had chosen to dwell with them. During this time, God appears to Moses and reveals His glory. Meanwhile, the people of Israel worship God in obedience by freely bringing all the materials required for the construction of the Tabernacle. Join me in Exodus 33-35 to see a God who keeps His promises, forgives the repentant, and brings honor to His people. Key verses: Exodus 33:16 For how will it be known then that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not by your going with us, so that we will be distinguished, I and your people, from all the people who are on the face of the earth?” Exodus 34:6-7 The Lord passed by before him and proclaimed: “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, and abounding in loyal love and faithfulness, 7 keeping loyal love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin. But he by no means leaves the guilty unpunished, responding to the transgression of fathers by dealing with children and children’s children, to the third and fourth generation.” Exodus 35:21 Everyone whose heart stirred him to action and everyone whose spirit was willing came and brought the offering for the Lord for the work of the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments.
