October 12, 2010 – Exodus 27

You can continue to see the picture of what God is telling them to build.  One question that might pop into your head when reading this is what would you need a shovel for.  And remember that question when we read on.  There will be times when Israel will be asked to make sacrifices on the altar.  They are usually burnt after they are offered or as a part of the offering.  And we are not talking about 1 or 2 or 10 goats.  We could be talking about 100’s or 1000’s of different animals being burnt.  Imagine the ashes and remains that would be left behind.  God not only instructs them on how to sacrifice to Him, but gives them the instructions and means to clean up afterwards.
