In today’s reading of Tyndale’s OYCSB (with featured content written by the CBT team),

• The offerings prescribed by God are for the people. By participating in the offering system, worshipers expose their hearts and behavior to the community. The ceremonial elements of each offering allow the worshiper to confirm in every generation that God is always administering grace in order to bless His people.
• Participating in worship through offerings keeps God's holiness before the people. The people act according to the way they think. They walk according to their view of God, themselves, and their sin. These offering regulations allow God's people to continually remember to love God and honor other covenant members.

• The Ten Commandments provide God’s framework terms for His covenant with Israel. They must worship Him rightly and honor other covenant members appropriately. Both terms are multi-layered.
• Israel’s worship requires the role of the firstborn to administer the covenant. God demands it, and the people must acknowledge and agree to the provision. Their offerings will not only be a blessing for them but bless the Levites who stand between the and God’s wrath.

• The glory of God’s presence, the glory of the tabernacle, and God’s pleasure in the obedience of His people is reflected in the twelve tribe’s desire to make offerings of dedication for the altar of atonement. For twelve days, the entire community celebrates God’s provision for their forgiveness by providing utensils that will represent them in the daily worship practices of the tabernacle.
• God is accomplishing what He desires the most—dwelling with His image-bearers! He continues to speak with Moses. The people are a able to confess their sins to God. They see His manifest presence in the cloud and the fire. They bring offerings to God that He then appropriates for the provision of the Levites.
• No other nation on the earth experiences a worship that is alive! Idols fall and must be maintained by the people who created them. God, however hears His people, speaks to His people, and receives what His people bring Him.

• Evaluation is a part of God’s character. God evaluates all things according to the standard of His word.

Moses models this evaluation mandate as He inspects the tabernacle work.
• God demonstrates His approval of the people’s work and accepts Israel’s invitation for His dwelling among them.
• God desires to be close to them. He loves them. He knows what lies ahead for them. Living in their midst, God acts to prepare them for the hard times He knows are coming.

• Israel meets their second chance to appropriate faith to a forty-day and night wait with readiness. They are ready to begin work on the tabernacle.
• God’s covenant community must first willingly long for God’s presence among them by giving back a portion of the wealth God bestowed on them. Those with special abilities from the Spirit of the Lord must willingly dedicate their time and efforts to do the work God set before them. And the leaders stewarding the offerings of God’s people must do so with integrity.

In today’s reading of Tyndale’s OYCSB (with featured content written by the CBT team),

• Shortly after Israel commits itself to obey God’s terms for covenant with them, many throw away the glory of God’s blessing for the shame of self-pleasure in idol worship. God’s wrath is terrifying, but His mercy remains. God values intercessory prayer.
• The story of the Bible—all of it—teaches us important lessons for every generation of faith walkers. There are special differences between worldly leadership and the leadership God requires of His covenant people.

• Moses is on the Mountain with God for forty days and nights. During this time, God commits Moses to pass on to the people specific instructions concerning the ordination of the priests, daily sacrifices, the incense altar, required offerings, the washbasin, anointing oil, incense oil, and the craftsmen for the entire project. Because this is a huge project, God reminds Moses about the Sabbath.
• When God is finished speaking with Moses, and presumably he accurately records all of it, God engraves the Ten Commandments on two tablets of stone with His own finger. The framework terms for the covenant are permanently inscribed on stone. God must be worshiped rightly, and covenant members must be honored correctly.

• What God mentions to Abraham in the past only in pieces, He now reveals is part of a grander plan. He administers the redemption plan according to His design from the beginning.

• The tabernacle will not be a place where people observe an image. It will be a place where the One true God listens to His people.
