#95 - The New Adam in the New Eden (Ex. 28-31)

In today’s episode we dive into another often-overlooked section of Exodus in which the Lord provides instructions for Israel’s priests—mediators before God on behalf of the people. We close with chapter 31, where there is an outpouring of the Spirit for the work to be done and more words from the Lord on the Sabbath.

In our 11th episode in the book of Exodus, we chat about Ex. 28-31:

• The priests’ garments & the ephod
• Connections with the material & colors seen in the tabernacle
• The breastpiece of 28:15-30
• The Urim & Thummim
• Israel represented by the priest
• The consecration of the priests—cleansing, anointing, offerings
• Suggestion for Bible reading: connect the offerings to the NT!
• Seven days symbolism (29:30, 35)
• The holiness of God & the priests
• The entire point summarized in 29:43-46—God dwelling with His people
• The altar, tax, oil, & incense
• Oholiab & Bezalel—the giving of the Spirit
• The Sabbath
