Malcom: Welcome To Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience.
Day 100 and 21
and so at last, the Tabernacle was finished.
The Israelites had done everything just as the Lord had commanded
Moses, and they brought the entire tab Tabernacle to Moses, the sacred
tent with all its furnishings, clasps frames, crossbars, posts, and bases.
The tent coverings of tanned ram skins and fine goat skin leather.
The inner curtain to shield the ark, the ark of the covenant,
and its carrying poles.
The arks cover the place of atonement, the table, and all its utensils.
The bread of the presence, the pure gold lamp stand with its symmetrical
lamp cups, all its accessories, and the olive oil for lighting.
The gold altar, the anointing oil and fragrant incense.
The curtain for the entrance of the sacred tent.
The bronze altar, the bronze grading, and its carrying poles and utensils.
The wash basin with its stand, the curtains for the walls of the courtyard,
the posts in their bases, the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard.
The ropes and tent pegs, all the furnishings to be used
in worship at the tabernacle.
The beautifully stitched garments for the priests to wear while
ministering in the holy place.
The sacred garments for Aaron, the priest, and the garments for his sons
to wear as they minister as priests.
So the people of Israel followed all of the Lord's instructions to Moses.
Then Moses inspected all their work when he found it had been done
just as the Lord had commanded him.
He blessed them.
Then the Lord said to Moses, set up the tabernacle on the
first day of the new year.
Place the ark of the covenant inside and install the inner curtain to enclose
the ark within the most holy place.
Then bring in the table and arrange the utensils on it and bring in the
lamp stand and set up the lamps.
Place the gold incense altar in front of the ark of the covenant.
Then hang the curtain at the entrance of the tabernacle.
Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the tabernacle entrance.
Set the wash basin between the tabernacle and the altar and fill it with water.
Then set up the courtyard around the outside of the tent and hang the
curtain for the courtyard entrance.
Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all its furnishings to
consecrate them and make them holy.
Anoint the altar of burnt offering and its utensils to consecrate them.
Then the altar will become absolutely holy.
Next, anoint the wash basin and its stand to consecrate them.
Present Aaron and his sons at the entrance of the tabernacle
and wash them with water.
Dress Aaron with the sacred garments and anoint him, consecrating
him to serve me as a priest.
Then present his sons and dress them in their tunics, anoint
them as you did their father.
So they may also serve me as priests with their anointing.
Aaron's descendants are set apart for the priesthood forever,
from generation to generation.
Moses proceeded to do everything just as the Lord had commanded him.
So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month of the second year.
Moses erected the tabernacle by setting down its bases, inserting
the frames, attaching the crossbars, setting up the posts.
Then he spread the coverings over the Tabernacle framework and put
on the protective layers just as the Lord had commanded him.
He took the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant
and placed them inside the ark.
Then he attached the carrying poles to the ark and he set the ark's cover
the place of atonement on top of it.
Then he brought the ark of the Covenant into the tabernacle and hung the
inner curtain to shield it from view just as the Lord had commanded him.
Next, Moses placed the table in the tabernacle along the north side of
the holy place, just outside the inner curtain, and he arranged the bread of
the presence on the table before the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded him.
He set the lamp stand in the tabernacle across from the table on
the south side of the holy place.
Then he lit the lamps in the Lord's presence just as
the Lord had commanded him.
He also placed the gold incense altar in the tabernacle in the holy place
in front of the inner curtain on it.
He burned the fragrant incense just as the Lord had commanded him.
He hung the curtain at the entrance of the tabernacle, and he placed
the altar of burnt offering near the tabernacle entrance on it.
He offered a burnt offering and a grain offering just as
the Lord had commanded him.
Next, Moses placed the wash basin between the tabernacle and the altar.
He filled it with water so the priests could wash themselves.
Moses and Aaron and Aaron's sons used water from it to
wash their hands and feet.
Whenever they approached the altar and entered the tabernacle,
they washed themselves just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Then he hung the curtains forming the courtyard around the tabernacle and
the altar, and he set up the curtain at the entrance of the courtyard.
So at last, Moses finished the work.
Then the cloud covered the tabernacle and the glory of
the Lord filled the tabernacle.
Moses could no longer enter the tabernacle because the cloud had
settled down over it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
Now, whenever the cloud lifted from the tabernacle, the people of Israel would
set out on their journey following it.
But if the cloud did not rise, they remained where they were until it lifted.
The cloud of the Lord hovered over the tabernacle during the day and at night.
Fire glowed inside the cloud so the whole family of Israel could see it.
This continued throughout all their journeys.
This concludes today's immerse reading experience.
