The next items that would created would be the Altar of Burnt Offerings - made of acacia wood and the utensils would be made of bronze as well as the bronze basin and its bronze stand from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. The courtyard would also be made which would define the area - consisted of finely twisted linen and bronze bases. All of the material used for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of Testimony would be recorded (under Moses' command) by the Levites. The amounts used by the Israelites in making everything was recorded and listed. 603,550 men contributed at least a half a shekel by men who were 20 and older.
Granted this is not the most exciting part of the book but still necessary from a historical and practical standpoint. God gave each one of the people the skill set and the abilities to contribute much as He has us today. It is our duty and calling to honor God with what He has given us and what He will do for us as a people.
Grateful for the past week and weekend. Saw the Hunger Games on Sat and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good weekend to ramp up for the short work week ahead.
Praise for today: Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me! Ps 66:20.
