Only one more post of Exodus!
Mostly trough out the beginning of this portion, it was finishing up Gods instructions for the sanctuary. Moses was on top of Mount Sinai for a total of 40 days and 40 nights. Moses came down from the mountain to learn that Aaron and the Iraelites had built (and were Worshipping) a Golden Calf. They made the calf out of the Israelites. When Moses saw this happening, he became extremely angry. He threw the two stone tablets to the ground and destroyed the Golden Calf. Moses then told the Israelites, that they believed in God, to come forth. The Levites immediately came forth. He told them to take a sword, and kill the rest of the Israelites. They did just as Moses said.
Moses returned to Mount Sinai so that he could speak with God once again. He was up there for another 40 days and nights. When he returned again. The Israelites said that he was glowing, and they could tell he had been talking to God.
I think its great that Moses' face was glowing. Even though my face isn't physically glowing, I can tell that I am a much happier person than I was before. Not that I was unhappy before, but I do feel different. It just goes to show you, that does really does work tremendous magic in your life...always.
I have to be honest. I am not sure what to think of Moses' reaction to the golden calf. I want to think that he overreacted. He did however, tell God not to kill the Israelites. Moses tells them that God has blessed them for turning against their brothers and family. This part made me feel a little uneasy. Its just kinda...odd?
I am sorry that there was not more to post this time. Not a lot happened other than God explaining the plan for the Sanctuary.
Tomorrow is my last Exodus post! :)
