In this Bible Study, we look at Exodus chapter 30 in which we take a closer look at the Alter of Incense, the Bronze Basin (also called the Bronze Laver), the tabernacle anointing oil, and the tabernacle incense. What are each of these items and how ere they used by the Tabernacle priests? Other questions we look at: What is your value? What are you worth?

In this Bible Study, we look at Exodus 29 and the consecration process of the Hebrew High Priest, Aaron (and his sons). We look at the different elements of the ordination process. The study includes a look at what a sin offering is, as well as a burnt offering and a wave offering. Ultimately we see the point of not only the high priest, the Tabernacle, the book of Exodus, and the entire Bible is God’s clear desire, (and provision) to dwell with His people.

Outline:
06:00 - introduction
01:26 - Elements of the consecration process found in Exodus 29 and Leviticus 8
The priests were washed (Ex 29.4 & Lev 8.6)
The priests were clothed (Ex 29.5-6,8-9. 29-30 & Lev 8.7-9, 13)
The priests were anointed (Ex 29.7, 21 & Lev 8.10-12, 30)
The priests were forgiven (Ex 29.10-14)
The priests were completely dedicated to God (Ex 29.15-18 & Lev 8.18-21)
The priests were marked by the blood (Ex 29.19-22 & Lev 8.22-24)
The priests were fed (Ex 29.22-28, 31-34 & Lev 8.25-29)
The priests charged to minister daily (Ex 29.38-46)
02:58 - Consecration:
Blue letter Bible: Millu מִלֻּא. Exo 13.2,12,15; Num 3.12; Lev 27.28,29; 1 Pet 2.9
04:35 - Sanctification: to be set apart. Continual process of regeneration which started when you were saved and will continue until the day you meet the Lord. Phil 1.6; 2 Cor 4.6; Col 3.10; 1 Cor 6.11, 19; 2 Thes 2.13
07:34 - Exodus 29.1-9
08:56 - 3 types of sacrifices are outlined. A bull for a sin offering, a ram for a burnt offering, and a ram for a wave offering.
09:58 - Exodus 29.1 - “without defect.” Matthew 21.12-13; 1 Pet 1.18-19
13:57 - Exodus 29.2 - yeast - a picture of sin. Matthew 16.5-12
15:33 - Exodus 29.4 - tent of meeting - Tabernacle - meeting place w/ God
16:03 - Exodus 29.10-14. “sin offering” aka “purification” offering. This offering was designed to clean the worshiper from their sins. Heb 13.11-12, Jesus is our sin offering!
17:37 - Exodus 29.15-18. “Burnt offering” or a “food offering to the Lord.” This is the oldest form of offering recorded in the Bible. Abel’s offering in Gen 4.4 may have been a burnt offering. Noah’s in Gen 8.20 was a burnt offering. Gen 22 (where Abraham was called to sacrifice his son Isaac, which was a burnt offering). “Burnt Offering” ʿōlâ עֹלָה “to ascend, stairway, steps” Lev 1.9; Exo 29.38-42; Num 28.2,9-10, 11, 19, 27; 29.1, 6
21:19 - Exodus 29.19-26. “wave offering.” Exo 29.24-26; 35.22, 38.24; Lev 7.28-34; 8.27, 29; 14.12, 24; 23.9-15; Num 8.11-21
25:59 - Exodus 29.27-42 - Lasting Ordinance
28:24 - Exodus 29.35-37 - 7 days - a picture of creation & perfection
28:54 - Exodus 29.40 - 1 Ephah - about 3.5 lbs. 1 hin - about 1 quart or 1 liter
29:17 - Exodus 29.29-30, 38, 42 - dependents are to carry this on. Num 28.3-8, Heb 9.1-15.
34:12 - Exodus 29.42-46

In this Bible Study, we look closely at God’s instructions for the creation of the High Priest’s garments, the outfit that Aaron (the first Jewish High Priest) would have worn.  We look at every element, including the undergarments, the tunic, the robe, and the ephod (what is an Ephod???)  We also look at the two shoulder pieces, the breast piece, the sash, and the turban (with the gold engraved plate).  What are the urim and thummim and how would the High Priest have used those to discern God’s decrees?  All this and more we discuss as we study Exodus 28.
