Exodus 35 | Honestly, No New Substance, but Hey! Popeye!
NOTE: Before anyone gets all excited, this chapter appears to just be a recap of stuff that's already happened. The difference is that Moses is telling it to a rather depleted number of people this time, as these selfsame people have recently slaughtered three thousand of their friends and family because Moses said that God said that that's what they were supposed to do after everyone worshiped a god made of golden earrings. So there's nothing really new here. In the spirit of "The Gist," feel free to move on and I won't feel slighted.
Moses called the Israelite Leftovers (after the Random Slaughter of Maybe Like, a Couple Weeks Before) and told them again how the Sabbath worked.
"You are to work for six days and forcefully chillax on the seventh," he said. "You are not even to light a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath or you will be put to death."
Then he explained the offerings the LORD wanted:
- gold
- silver
- bronze
- blue, purple, and red thread
- fine linen and goat hair
- ram skins and fine goatskin leather
- acacia wood
- olive oil
- spices for anointing oil and incense
- onyx stones and other gemstones to be set in the priests' clothing
"Now, you gifted craftsmen," Moses continued, "will make all this stuff..."
- The Tabernacle and its tent and all that stuff
- The chest Ark
- a bunch of other stuff you can check out here 'cause I'm not gonna list it all, my sincere apologies, yadda yadda yadda.
So the Israelites left Moses and returned to their tents. Some of 'em brought offerings to the LORD. The women were sewing, the men were slaughtering, and everyone was having just a grand old time. Moses then went on to name people God had specifically chosen for certain tasks.
