The Great Exodus.38

The altar of burnt offering was made in this chapter, and boy was it large. I'm thinking it was about 7.5 feet wide by 7.5 feet long. It was overlaid with bronze. I bet the entire tabernacle was really beautiful. It's kind of cool to have all this detail in the Bible. It's not very long on practical living wisdom sometimes, but it can be fascinating to study. And it sort of validates the Bible. It's not written like it's trying to be a sacred written piece for a religion. It just turns out that way. I'm reminded of the street address given in the book of Acts and some of the embarrassing stories told about David and his friends in the Old Testament. If I was putting together a PR piece for my religion, I would leave stuff like that out.
