Bible Curious episodes

  • The Glory of Yahweh
    DAY 53 (Exodus 39-40): Now, on the one-year anniversary of the Exodus, Yahweh gives His final instructions to Moses for erecting and anointing the tabernacle, which Moses faithfully obeys. The walls and the pillars, the covering over the tent, the ark, the holy furniture, the altar of sacrifice and the washbasin where Moses, Aaron and his sons would purify themselves, all come together for that climactic moment where Yahweh's glory takes residence among His people.

  • The Cost of the Tabernacle
    DAY 52 (Exodus 36-38): As tabernacle construction gets underway, the builders face a crisis of too much generosity from the children of Israel. They weave curtains for the covering of the tabernacle, construct boards for assembling the walls, then create the veil and screen to be used for partitioning sacred space.

  • The Lord Renews the Covenant
    DAY 51 (Exodus 33-35): At last the children of Israel are ready to construct the tabernacle for their God. Yahweh will remind them to strictly observe the Sabbath while constructing this dwelling. After all, they are no longer slaves of the Egyptians, and should act as a new people.

  • The Golden Calf
    DAY 50 (Exodus 30-32): As Moses continues to receive divine revelation from God for forty days and forty nights upon Mount Sinai, the people grow restless and rebellious, acting out in flagrant defiance against God's previous commandments.

  • God Will Dwell Among the People
    DAY 49 (Exodus 28-29): Yahweh wished to dwell among His people, but needed to establish a strict protocol for how He would be approached by an inherently sinful human race.Now Yahweh would create a mediated relationship with His people by instituting the office of a High Priest in Moses' brother Aaron, along with a supporting priesthood from Aaron's immediate family.

  • The Ark of the Covenant
    DAY 48 (Exodus 25-27): After delivering the Law and ratifying the covenant, Yahweh now instructs Moses to build a tabernacle, a portable tent-sanctuary where God will dwell among His people, the Israelites. Before listening to this chapter, I strongly recommend that you search the Internet for images and videos of God's Tabernacle. Then, listen carefully and see the tabernacle with your mind's eye.

  • The Covenant Sealed
    DAY 47 (Exodus 22-24): The Book of the Covenant is a continuation of the legal code given to Moses by Yahweh on Mount Sinai. In this chapter, Yahweh provides further regulations that are intended to promote justice, equality, and social order in ancient Israel. These laws cover a wide range of topics, including theft, property damage, social responsibility, and sexual morality.
    26 min
  • The Ten Commandments
    DAY 46 (Exodus 19-21): The Ten Commandments, though brief in their wording, are considered to be the foundation of the Law of Moses and are still studied and observed by many religious and ethical traditions today. You will notice that these laws begin with Yahweh Himself at the very center, and flow out from this God-centered core to the family unit, then to the rest of society.

  • Bread from Heaven
    DAY 45 (Exodus 16-18): Having crossed the Red Sea and escaped the clutches of Pharaoh's army, the Israelites find themselves wandering in the wilderness of Sin. As their provisions begin to dwindle, they grumble and complain against Moses and Aaron, longing for the comforts of their former lives as slaves in Egypt. In response to their complaints, Yahweh promises to provide them with bread from heaven, which they will gather each day for sustenance. Yahweh also begins to train the Israelites how to be obedient to His law, beginning with the observance of a weekly day of rest.
    28 min
  • Parting the Red Sea
    DAY 44 (Exodus 13-15): Now that the Exodus has begun, Yahweh is ready to perform one of the most spectacular miracles of the Old Testament: the parting of the Red Sea. The Angel of Yahweh, who was leading the Israelites out of Egypt, wanted to set up a dramatic confrontation between the fleeing Israelites and the armies of Pharaoh, by taking them directly into a dead-end, where all hope would seem lost.
