This Weeks readings:


Feb 8: Ex 28-29


When we did the tabernacle unit in coop we learned so much about Gods orderliness, obedience, detail. And about math! It is great to read this again and remember all that we did.  Each age group in our coop had to construct a model of the tabernacle.


Ephod: Something girt, a sacred vestment worn originally by the high priest (Exodus 28:4), afterwards by the ordinary priest (1 Samuel 22:18), and characteristic of his office (1 Samuel 2:18,28; 14:3). It was worn by Samuel, and also by David (2 Samuel 6:14). It was made of fine linen, and consisted of two pieces, which hung from the neck, and covered both the back and front, above the tunic and outer garment (Exodus 28:31). That of the high priest was embroidered with divers colours. The two pieces were joined together over the shoulders (hence in Latin called superhumerale) by clasps or buckles of gold or precious stones, and fastened round the waist by a "curious girdle of gold, blue, purple, and fine twined linen" (28:6-12). The breastplate, with the Urim and Thummim, was attached to the ephod.


Mitre: Heb. mitsnepheth), something rolled round the head; the turban or head-dress of the high priest (Exodus 28:4,37,39; 29:6, etc.). In the Authorized Version of Ezekiel 21:26, this Hebrew word is rendered "diadem," but in the Revised Version, "mitre." It was a twisted band of fine linen, 8 yards in length, coiled into the form of a cap, and worn on official occasions (Leviticus 8:9; 16:4; Zechariah 3:5). On the front of it was a golden plate with the inscription, "Holiness to the Lord." The mitsnepheth differed from the mitre or head-dress (migba'ah) of the common priest.


Heave Offering: Heb. terumah, (Exodus 29:27) means simply an offering, a present, including all the offerings made by the Israelites as a present. This Hebrew word is frequently employed. Some of the rabbis attach to the word the meaning of elevation, and refer it to the heave offering, which consisted in presenting the offering by a motion up and down, distinguished from the wave offering, which consisted in a repeated movement in a horizontal direction, a "wave offering to the Lord as ruler of earth, a heave offering to the Lord as ruler of heaven." The right shoulder, which fell to the priests in presenting thank offerings, was called the heave shoulder (Leviticus 7:34; Numbers 6:20). The first fruits offered in harvest-time (Numbers 15:20,21) were heave offerings.


Ephah: A dry measure of about one bushel capacity.


Hin: Unit of liquid measure reckoned as one sixth of a bath (Exodus 29:40). It would have been approximately equivalent to a gallon.
Feb 9: Ex 30-32

God is the giver of knowledge and wisdom.  ( many of the scriptures state that he gave this to a specific person for a specific task)


I am always in awe of the Golden Calf  account. Of  Moses pleading with the God on behalf of the people.

  1. Thanks for converting the ephah and the hin for me! A bushel and a gallon. I'll try to remember that.

    And that Golden Calf moment. No wonder Moses is called "The meekest man who ever lived" (well, besides Jesus). Meek means "Power under control" and Moses had the power to change God's mind! Wow.


    Got the Mr. Linky up . . . at last!
