Exodus 40:28 Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.
I am again reminded that Exodus is coming to a close and that this book has a very specific story: The Israelites were in captivity for hundreds of years. While they were always “God’s people,” they had forgotten that fact and worshipped the gods of the Egyptians.
Exodus 40:29 He set the altar of burnt offering near the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, and offered on it burnt offerings and grain offerings, as the Lord commanded him.
Exodus is about leaving Egyptian captivity and remembering both who they are and Whose they are. They have come a very long way from begging for an idol because Moses is taking too long to doing everything just “as the Lord commanded.”
Exodus 40:30-31 He placed the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing, and Moses and Aaron and his sons used it to wash their hands and feet.
Precious Savior, Thank You that we are Yours and that You love us fiercely, completely, and unconditionally. Help us, each morning, to center ourselves on You, to draw closer to You, and to seek to be Your hands and feet in this world. Amen.
Exodus 40:32 They washed whenever they entered the tent of meeting or approached the altar, as the Lord commanded Moses.
Have a blessed day.
