6 - February 7

(Readings Jan 31-Feb 6)

6. The Presence of God with Israel

Key Point:
God commits to being present with his people on their journey, which necessitates an understanding of holiness. The establishment of cultic (priestly and ritual) ordinances helps communicate this holiness to the people.

Key Verse:
“The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest” (Exodus 33:14).

Outline:
The Covenant is Broken and Renewed (Exodus 32-34)
Israel Willingly Obeys the Covenant (Exodus 35-40)
Priests are Ordained (Leviticus 8-9)
Israel is Numbered (Numbers 1-9)

Thought Questions:

1. This section opens with the story of the golden calf. What do we learn about Israel or people in general? What do we learn about God?

2. The aftermath of this story show God deliberating with Moses about whether or not God’s presence will go with the people. What was the significance of this decision for Israel? For you?

3. This section includes the construction of the tabernacle. Is that difficult for you to visualize? What do you think it meant for Israel to watch its construction?

4. Much of the cultic ordinances (those involving priests, the tabernacle, or sacrifices) seem to exist to give Israel a physical representation of holiness. Why is that important to people pursuing faith? How do you feel about the physical nature of your spirituality?

5. This section also includes the accounts of some of the sacrifices made by people for the tabernacle. What about that inspires you? Why do you think those things were recorded?

6. What does this whole section communicate about the seriousness of being in God’s presence? What does that mean to us, when we say that God’s presence is always with us in the Holy Spirit?
