Bible in a Year January 24: Exodus 21:22 – 25:9

 

January 24: Exodus 21:22 – 25:9

Lots more rules today – many of them seem to make good sense even in today’s culture. I noticed that one rule was mentioned twice: don’t take advantage of widows and orphans (reiterated by Jesus’ brother James in Ja 1:27).

Did you realize that Moses was on the mountain to meet God for SIX DAYS before God spoke to him?  And Joshua was apparently with him according to verse 24:13. They were up on the mountain only part way and they waited until God called them to go further. They entered the cloud, but those at the base of the mountain thought it looked like a consuming fire. Did they think Moses had been burned? What would you have thought?

TOMORROW’S TEXT: Exodus 25:10 – 27:21
