Leviticus - Burnt Offering

Leviticus 1:1-5 (NKJV)

1. Now the Lord called to Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle of meeting, saying,
2. “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: “When any one of you brings an offering to the Lord, you shall bring your offering of the livestock—of the herd and of the flock.
3. If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord.
4. Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.
5. He shall kill the bull before the Lord; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

Exodus: God’s Glory Cloud

Exodus 40:34-38 (NKJV)

34. Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
35. And Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested above it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
36. Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, the children of Israel would go onward in all their journeys.
37. But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey till the day that it was taken up. 38. For the cloud of the Lord was above the tabernacle by day, and fire was over it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

Exodus: Gave more than enough

Exodus 36:2-7 (NKJV)

2. Then Moses called Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, everyone whose heart was stirred, to come and do the work.
3. And they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of making the sanctuary. So they continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning.
4. Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work he was doing,
5. and they spoke to Moses, saying, “The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us to do.”
6. So Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary.” And the people were restrained from bringing,
7. for the material they had was sufficient for all the work to be done.

Exodus: Skilled Artisans

Exodus 31:1-11 (NKJV)

1. Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2. “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
3. And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
4. to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze,
5. in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship.
6. “And I, indeed I, have appointed with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the gifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you:
7. the tabernacle of meeting, the ark of the Testimony and the mercy seat that is on it, and all the furniture of the tabernacle
8. the table and its utensils, the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense,
9. the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base
10. the garments of ministry, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests,
11. and the anointing oil and sweet incense for the holy place. According to all that I have commanded you they shall do.”
