Gilbert House Fellowship #288: Exodus 38-40

THE CONSTRUCTION of the tabernacle is the focus of this week’s study—although, as usual, we follow some rabbit trails that lead us to other parts of the Bible.We compare the number of stones in the high priest’s ephod to the precious stones covering the rebel in Eden, as described in Ezekiel 28. That led us to another discovery—namely, that the Septuagint and some modern English translations, such as the New English Translation (NET), distinguish between the rebel (Satan) and the “guardian cherub,” unlike the ESV and the King James Bible, which identify the rebel as the guardian cherub. See Ezekiel 28:14-16, and compare translations at BibleHub (https://biblehub.com/ezekiel/28-14.htm).————Join us in Israel next year! We will lead another tour through the Holy Land April 18-May 1, 2021, with an optional four-day extension to Jordan, with visits to Mount Nebo, Wadi Rum, and Petra.For more information, log on to www.SkyWatchinIsrael.com.————Our new book Giants, Gods & Dragons is available for pre-order!
