Day 3

God had to have a place to live among the Israelites so they could worship Him and hear from Him as He led them each day. In Exodus 25:1–9, God told Moses that the people needed to “raise a contribution” for Him. Then, Israelites were to donate “gold, silver and bronze, 4 blue, purple and scarlet material, fine linen, goat hair, 5 rams ’skins...

God gave Moses the details for the table that was to be built for His sanctuary. This table would hold the bread of Presence.

Without the blood, there is no redemption. God’s Word reminds us of this Truth in Hebrews 9:22, “And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things...
