Exodus 25-27
Yes, I am back. Miss me? I really hated to do that (take a break) but I was completely overwhelmed with life last night. I was just barely making it from minute to minute. And of course, the next few chapters are full of details which was more than I could process at that time. In some ways, I didn't feel that pressure (of accountability) to get on here but at the same time, I missed out on that time each night.
I won't rehash every detail of Exodus 25-27. I will say there are a lot of them! God laid out the plans for the Holy Tent, the Table, the Lampstand, and the Altar.
I have to say, God is a details Guy. He laid out every single detail. What to use. Exact measurements. How many loops/hooks for the curtains. Even the weight of gold to be used in the lampstand (75 pounds).
I am a very visual person.
I ended up pulling out a notebook and a pen and sketching the plans, labeling them, just to give me an idea.
I am not a measurement person though. So by the time we got to the curtains, lots of feet, I was a little lost. I didn't have enough fabric to lay that out. :)
I won't embarrass myself by sharing the sketches.
I will just say that if you read these chapters, it might help a little to pull out a sketch pad.
Okay, quick question.
Which of these doesn't sound like the others?
Gold. Silver. Bronze. Fine Linen. Fine Leather. Onyx. Goat Hair.
Goat hair?
For some reason, this struck me funny as I read through the list of gifts the people were asked to bring.
Goat hair?
I am sure there is something historical there I should know. And obviously, God has a plan that is perfect. So I am not questioning it. Just chuckling about it a little. :)
