| 0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
| 0:12.8 | Think back to yesterday. The people of Israel have just made a golden calf while Moses was |
| 0:17.2 | meeting with God, then Moses destroyed it and gave the people an ultimatum. |
| 0:25.6 | The Levites rose to the occasion and killed 3,000 people who weren't on God's side. |
| 0:29.4 | In the aftermath of all this, Moses has a conversation with God. |
| 0:35.1 | If you're looking at your Bible with your eyes right now, imagine 33, 7 through 11 is copied and pasted above verse 1. The conversation that happens between God and Moses |
| 0:39.4 | in verses 1 through 6 actually flows straight into verse 12. Versus 7 through 11 are just a little |
| 0:46.0 | detour segment the author inserted to show the depth of the personal relationship between God and |
| 0:50.7 | Moses. Hopefully that's not too confusing. Versus 7 through 11 tell us that God and Moses |
| 0:56.0 | spent time together regularly. Anytime Moses wanted, he'd go to the tent of meeting outside of the camp |
| 1:00.9 | and God would meet with him there. By the way, this tent of meeting is altogether different from the |
| 1:05.4 | tabernacle God just described to Moses when they were on Mount Sinai for 40 days. That structure |
| 1:10.4 | doesn't exist yet. |
| 1:11.8 | And when it does, it will be among the people, not outside the camp. Because remember, |
| 1:17.0 | God said he wants to dwell in their midst. Lots of people came to seek God at this tent of meeting, |
| 1:22.2 | but scripture says God spoke with Moses face to face. Now, God the Father is spirit, so he doesn't technically have a face, |
| 1:29.9 | but scripture often anthropomorphizes God. That just means it explains him in human terms we can |
| 1:35.7 | grasp. You may wonder, but what about theophanes, Tara Lee? When he showed up to Abraham as an angel |
| 1:41.4 | in Genesis 18, he had a face then. You're right. He had a human |
| 1:44.9 | face that was a facade veiling his glory, but it wasn't literally God's face. So don't imagine God |
| 1:51.3 | with a face here. That's not what's happening. This is just scripture's way of indicating the |
| 1:55.2 | level of intimacy and accessibility here. They spoke face to face as with a friend. Joshua spent a lot of time at this |
