Psalm 14:1-4 Seek God
14:1 “The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none who does good. 2 Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who did understand, who did seek after God. 3 They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is none who does good, no, not one. 4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don't call on Yahweh?”
Observation: Unless you are a self-caused being, it is more reasonable to believe in a Creator than not. Thus it is foolish to choose the unreasonable. (See 7 QUESTIONS in sidebar and outlines on Truthbase.net in Resources below.)
14:3 “gone aside” and “become corrupt” points to the move away from what's right. We're either headed uphill or sliding downward.
14:4 Note that this is not a blanket condemnation of humanity, but of a group of evil doers who oppress God's people (see rest of the Psalm).
Application: Don't live like a practical atheist. Seek God, do good, call on Him.
Jeremiah 29:13 You shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart.
Prayer: God, thanks that you promised I will find You when I seek You wholeheartedly. Amen.
Proverbs 4:14-16 Avoiding the Paths to Sin
Observations: 4:14-16 If you don't walk down the path toward sin, you can't enter or fall in its traps. Therefore, don't follow the ways of the wicked, or you'll become wicked. The wise person will take preventative action to identify and avoid the entry points on the expressway to evil. If they find themselves near it or are caught unawares, they will turn from it and pass by it. The wicked actively do their master's will, compelled to make others like themselves. Don't even go near them
Application: Identify the entrance or trigger points for sin (temptation) and avoid at all costs.
Prayer: God, give me insight into the paths to sin that I might be tempted by, and give me the grace to flee. Amen.
Exodus 25-29 Lots of architectural and fashion details (see pictures), which are elaborated later in the book. Some people devote more time than is wise speculating on the symbolism. We'll spend our time on the things God specifically states He wants us to believe and do. The Tabernacle was a portable temple (tent) which lead Israel into the Promised Land. Eventually Solomon built a more permanent temple in Jerusalem.
Exodus 25 The Tabernacle
25:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, that they take an offering for me. From everyone whose heart makes him willing you shall take my offering. 8 Let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.10 "They shall make an ark 11 You shall overlay it with pure gold. Inside and outside...16 You shall put the testimony which I shall give you into the ark. 17 You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold...18 You shall make two cherubim of hammered gold...20 The cherubim shall spread out their wings upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. 22 There I will meet with you, and I will tell you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the testimony, all that I command you for the children of Israel. 23 "You shall make a table 24 overlay it with pure gold 28 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be carried with them. 29 You shall make its dishes, its spoons, its ladles, and its bowls to pour out offerings with. Of pure gold shall you make them. 30 You shall set bread of the presence on the table before me always. 31 "You shall make a lampstand...40 See that you make them after their pattern, which has been shown to you on the mountain."
Exodus 26 Mercy Seat
26:1 "Moreover you shall make the tent 30 You shall set up the tent according to the way that it was shown to you on the mountain. 31 "You shall make a veil...with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman shall it be made. 33...and the veil shall separate the holy place from the most holy for you. 34 You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the most holy place. 35 You shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand..."
Observations: 25:2 Giving for the tabernacle was a free-will response to God. They had the gold because they obeyed God in asking the Egyptians for it.
2Cor 9:7 Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.
Hebrews 10:4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
25:30-1 The table on which was placed the bread, was followed by the lampstand, and then the tent/tabernacle itself in chapter 26.
The lampstand contained a talent of gold (75 pounds) worth over two million US dollars today. There is not a specific explanation of the meaning of the tabernacle table of bread and the lamp in Scripture, although bread and lampstands are mentioned. Decent explanations might be that the table of bread symbolized fellowship with God, since covenants were initiated and renewed with a meal. The covenant served as the basis of Israel being a light to the nations, a light resulting from their pure relationship with God, which was never to go out.
25:40; 26:30 Everything had gold rings, through which went gold covered poles to carry them. All had to be made as God showed Moses. Heb 9:23 says these are copies of the originals in the heavens.

26:33 The most holy place, in which was the ark of the covenant covered with the mercy seat, was separated, by a veil, from the holy place containing the table, bread, and lampstand.
Application: God gives to us so we can give to him.

Prayer: Lord, thanks that by Your mercy, I have a new heart. May I honor You with all my responses to Your goodness to me. Amen.
Exodus 27 Altar, Court, and Tent of Meeting
 |
| The Arch of Titus in Rome. The Jewish captives can be seen in Rome carrying the pure golden Menorah from the Second Temple in Jerusalem together with other holy vessels from the Temple. |
27:1 "You shall make the altar of acacia wood...2...overlay it with brass. 3 You shall make its pots to take away its ashes, its shovels, its basins, its flesh hooks, and its fire pans: all its vessels you shall make of brass. 9 You shall make the court of the tent...20 You shall command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually. 21 In the tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh: it shall be a statute forever throughout their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.
Exodus 28 Holy to Yahweh
4 These are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of checker work, a turban, and a sash 9 take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel: 12 put the two stones on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod...and Aaron shall bear their names before Yahweh on his two shoulders for a memorial. 15 "You shall make a breastplate of judgment 17 set in four rows of stones: 21 according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve....like the engravings of a signet 29 Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, for a memorial before Yahweh continually. 30 You shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim...31 "You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue. 33 On its hem you shall make pomegranates and bells of gold 35 It shall be on Aaron to minister: and the sound of it shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before Yahweh, and when he comes out, that he not die. 36 "You shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, `HOLY TO YAHWEH. 38 It shall be on Aaron`s forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall make holy in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Yahweh. 40 "You shall make coats for Aaron`s sons, and you shall make sashes for them and headbands shall you make for them, for glory and for beauty. 41 You shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest`s office. 42 You shall make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness; from the loins even to the thighs they shall reach.
Observations: 27:2 A gold altar for incense was in the holy place, at the entrance to the holy of holies (Exodus 30). A brass altar was outside the holy place in the courtyard, where sin offerings were made.
28:3 Here's an example where wisdom is artistic, knowing what to make (right objective) and the skill to execute the design (means of attaining the objective).
28:36 It might not be a bad idea to impress on our brain "Holy to Yahweh," that way good actions might follow.
Application: We approach God on the basis of the sacrifice that paid for our sin (brass altar) in covenantal obedient fellowship (bread) and purity (oil), maintaining our witness. Only then can we offer prayers that are a pleasing sweet aroma (altar of incense) to Him.
Prayer: Holy God, I praise You for making an intimate relationship with You possible, may I live in Your presence continually. Amen.
Digging Deeper:
God in a nutshell: God not only guides by general principles, but sometimes has something very specific in mind for us to do. God gives to us (usually through obedience) so we have all we need to do His will. God is only intimate with those who are holy, and He makes provision for our holiness.
Us in a nutshell: We should consider ourselves privileged to be invited into a relationship with God, and do whatever it takes to be in His presence. If we don't keep holiness in the forefront of our thinking, we'll default into defilement.

Exodus 25-28 (complete text)
Exodus 25
25:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, that they take an offering for me. From everyone whose heart makes him willing you shall take my offering. 3 This is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, brass, 4 blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats` hair, 5 rams` skins dyed red, sea cow hides, acacia wood, 6 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense, 7 onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate. 8 Let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. 9 According to all that I show you, the pattern of the tent, and the pattern of all of its furniture, even so you shall make it. 10 "They shall make an ark of acacia wood. Its length shall be two and a half cubits, its breadth a cubit and a half, and a cubit and a half its height. 11 You shall overlay it with pure gold. Inside and outside shall you overlay it, and shall make a gold molding around it. 12 You shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in its four feet. Two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. 13 You shall make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. 14 You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark. 15 The poles shall be in the rings of the ark. They shall not be taken from it. 16 You shall put the testimony which I shall give you into the ark. 17 You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold. Two and a half cubits shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth. 18 You shall make two cherubim of hammered gold. You shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat. 19 Make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end. You shall make the cherubim on its two ends of one piece with the mercy seat. 20 The cherubim shall spread out their wings upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat. 21 You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I will give you. 22 There I will meet with you, and I will tell you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the testimony, all that I command you for the children of Israel. 23 "You shall make a table of acacia wood. Two cubits shall be its length, and a cubit its breadth, and one and a half cubits its height. 24 You shall overlay it with pure gold, and make a gold molding around it. 25 You shall make a rim of a handbreadth around it. You shall make a golden molding on its rim around it. 26 You shall make four rings of gold for it, and put the rings in the four corners that are on its four feet. 27 the rings shall be close to the rim, for places for the poles to carry the table. 28 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be carried with them. 29 You shall make its dishes, its spoons, its ladles, and its bowls to pour out offerings with. Of pure gold shall you make them. 30 You shall set bread of the presence on the table before me always. 31 "You shall make a lampstand of pure gold. Of hammered work shall the lampstand be made, even its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers, shall be of one piece with it. 32 There shall be six branches going out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of its one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of its other side; 33 three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a bud and a flower; and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a flower, so for the six branches going out of the lampstand; 34 and in the lampstand four cups made like almond blossoms, its buds and its flowers; 35 and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the lampstand. 36 Their buds and their branches shall be of one piece with it, the whole of it one beaten work of pure gold. 37 You shall make its lamps seven, and they shall light its lamps to give light to the space in front of it. 38 Its snuffers and its snuff dishes shall be of pure gold. 39 It shall be made of a talent of pure gold, with all these accessories. 40 See that you make them after their pattern, which has been shown to you on the mountain.
Exodus 26
26:1 "Moreover you shall make the tent with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman you shall make them. 2 The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains shall have one measure. 3 Five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and the other five curtains shall be coupled one to another. 4 You shall make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling; and likewise shall you make in the edge of the curtain that is outmost in the second coupling. 5 You shall make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that is in the second coupling. The loops shall be opposite one to another. 6 You shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to another with the clasps: and the tent shall be a unit. 7 "You shall make curtains of goats` hair for a covering over the tent: eleven curtains shall you make them. 8 The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: the eleven curtains shall have one measure. 9 You shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shall double over the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tent. 10 You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is outmost in the second coupling. 11 You shall make fifty clasps of brass, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one. 12 The overhanging part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tent. 13 The cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, of that which remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tent on this side and on that side, to cover it. 14 You shall make a covering for the tent of rams` skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above. 15 "You shall make the boards for the tent of acacia wood, standing up. 16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and one and a half cubits the breadth of each board. 17 There shall be two tenons in each board, joined to one another: thus shall you make for all the boards of the tent. 18 You shall make the boards for the tent, twenty boards for the south side southward. 19 You shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons. 20 For the second side of the tent, on the north side, twenty boards, 21 and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. 22 For the far part of the tent westward you shall make six boards. 23 Two boards shall you make for the corners of the tent in the far part. 24 They shall be double beneath, and in like manner they shall be entire to the top of it to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners. 25 There shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. 26 "You shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tent, 27 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tent, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tent, for the far part westward. 28 The middle bar in the midst of the boards shall pass through from end to end. 29 You shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars: and you shall overlay the bars with gold. 30 You shall set up the tent according to the way that it was shown to you on the mountain. 31 "You shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman shall it be made. 32 You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, on four sockets of silver. 33 You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil: and the veil shall separate the holy place from the most holy for you. 34 You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the most holy place. 35 You shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand over against the table on the side of the tent toward the south: and you shall put the table on the north side. 36 "You shall make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer. 37 You shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold: their hooks shall be of gold: and you shall cast five sockets of brass for them.
Exodus 27
27:1 "You shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long, and five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare: and its height shall be three cubits. 2 You shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it; and you shall overlay it with brass. 3 You shall make its pots to take away its ashes, its shovels, its basins, its flesh hooks, and its fire pans: all its vessels you shall make of brass. 4 You shall make a grating for it of network of brass: and on the net you shall make four brazen rings in its four corners. 5 You shall put it under the ledge around the altar beneath, that the net may reach halfway up the altar. 6 You shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with brass. 7 Its poles shall be put into the rings, and the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar, when carrying it. 8 Hollow with planks shall you make it: as it has been showed you on the mountain, so shall they make it. 9 "You shall make the court of the tent: for the south side southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen one hundred cubits long for one side: 10 and the pillars of it shall be twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver. 11 Likewise for the north side in length there shall be hangings one hundred cubits long, and the pillars of it twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver. 12 For the breadth of the court on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits; their pillars ten, and their sockets ten. 13 The breadth of the court on the east side eastward shall be fifty cubits. 14 The hangings for the one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three. 15 For the other side shall be hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three. 16 For the gate of the court shall be a screen of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer; their pillars four, and their sockets four. 17 All the pillars of the court round about shall be filleted with silver; their hooks of silver, and their sockets of brass. 18 The length of the court shall be one hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty every where, and the height five cubits, of fine twined linen, and their sockets of brass. 19 All the instruments of the tent in all its service, and all the pins of it, and all the pins of the court, shall be of brass. 20 "You shall command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually. 21 In the tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh: it shall be a statute forever throughout their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.
Exodus 28
28:1 "Bring Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, near to you from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to me in the priest`s office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron`s sons. 2 You shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty. 3 You shall speak to all who are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron`s garments to sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest`s office. 4 These are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of checker work, a turban, and a sash: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, and his sons, that he may minister to me in the priest`s office. 5 They shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen. 6 "They shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skillful workman. 7 It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined to the two ends of it, that it may be joined together. 8 The skillfully woven band, which is on it, that is on him, shall be like its work and of the same piece; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 9 You shall take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel: 10 six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the six that remain on the other stone, in the order of their birth. 11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shall you engrave the two stones, according to the names of the children of Israel: you shall make them to be enclosed in settings of gold. 12 You shall put the two stones on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before Yahweh on his two shoulders for a memorial. 13 You shall make settings of gold, 14 and two chains of pure gold; you make them like cords shall, of braided work: and you shall put the braided chains on the settings. 15 "You shall make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, shall you make it. 16 It shall be square and folded double; a span shall be its length of it, and a span its breadth. 17 You shall set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of ruby, topaz, and beryl shall be the first row; 18 and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald; 19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 20 and the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be enclosed in gold in their settings. 21 The stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, everyone according to his name, they shall be for the twelve tribes. 22 You shall make on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure gold. 23 You shall make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. 24 You shall put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate. 25 The other two ends of the two braided chains you shall put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod in the forepart of it. 26 You shall make two rings of gold, and you shall put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which is toward the side of the ephod inward. 27 You shall make two rings of gold, and shall put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart of it, close by the coupling of it, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod. 28 They shall bind the breastplate by the rings of it to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate may not swing out from the ephod. 29 Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, for a memorial before Yahweh continually. 30 You shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be on Aaron`s heart, when he goes in before Yahweh: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his heart before Yahweh continually. 31 "You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue. 32 It shall have a hole for the head in the midst of it: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it not be torn. 33 On its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, around its hem; and bells of gold between them round about: 34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, on the hem of the robe round about. 35 It shall be on Aaron to minister: and the sound of it shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before Yahweh, and when he comes out, that he not die. 36 "You shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, `HOLY TO YAHWEH.` 37 You shall put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be on the sash; on the front of the sash it shall be. 38 It shall be on Aaron`s forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall make holy in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Yahweh. 39 You shall weave the coat in checker work of fine linen, and you shall make a turban of fine linen, and you shall make a sash, the work of the embroiderer. 40 "You shall make coats for Aaron`s sons, and you shall make sashes for them and headbands shall you make for them, for glory and for beauty. 41 You shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest`s office. 42 You shall make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness; from the loins even to the thighs they shall reach: 43 They shall be on Aaron, and on his sons, when they go in to the tent of meeting, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place; that they don`t bear iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute forever to him and to his descendants after him.
