Hey Bible Readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.

This is another day that unexpectedly brought me to tears and I can't wait to tell you why.

Today we continue with God's Laws for the People delivered to Moses, but remember that the point of what we're reading isn't the laws, it's what's underneath

the laws. What do they point to? I always want to be encouraging us to look for God when we read.

Some days it'll be harder than others. Maybe today was one of those days.

That's okay. The way you feel about the text doesn't decrease its value in your life.

It's adding value to your life to fix your eyes on these pages whether you feel it right now or not.

So what do we see about God in the laws he's setting out?

One of the things underneath much of what we read today was that God wants his people to be clean and he keeps

reminding that he is the one who makes them clean. I am the Lord who sanctifies you.

We get repeated reminders of both God's holiness and his rescue in these passages.

In chapter 23 we see a lot about feasts.

Since I don't have time to go into this in-depth, we'll include a short article in the show notes

that explains these seven feasts and their significance.

As always, when we include a resource, we can't vouch for everything on that site.

We're just including that one particular resource.

Though in general, we do try to be careful about what we're sending you.

So back to the feasts. First, God reminds them again about a weekly feast called the Sabbath.

Then there are six annual feast covered here and you should

recognize a few of them from our reading so far. It can get really confusing though

since a lot of these feasts have multiple names. You probably recognize

Passover, which is also called The Feast of Unleavened Bread.
