8: Divine Furniture and How to Build it
// Exodus 24-40
Laura and Kiernan close out Exodus with some Ikea instructions that require some pretty ornate requirements.
In This Episode:

- Moses camps out on a mountain for 40 days
- God gives Moses instructions for some divine furniture
- God gives Moses instructions for a special tent
- God gives Moses instructions for an elaborate altar
- God says Aaron is gonna be the priest
- God tells Moses to bathe Aaron, dress him up real swanky, and sprinkle a bunch of goat blood and guts on his face
- God ransoms the Israelites with a tax for being alive
- God calls dibs on incense as “his smell” so don’t make incense perfume
- Aaron makes a cat out of some gold (okay a calf)
- People LOVE that gold cat and have a party
- God tells Moses that isn’t allowed and the Commandment tablets break
- Moses orders the Levites to crash the party, 3000 people die
- God reminds people they cannot look at Him or they’ll die
- Moses Remakes the tablets
