Come and study the Holy Scriptures with us as Father Stephen DeYoung teaches verse by verse on the podcast,

The Whole Council of God. Father Stephen holds a Ph.D. in biblical studies,

and it's an Orthodox priest serving at Archangel Gabriel Orthodox Church in Lafayette, Louisiana.

We'll go ahead and get started.

When we get started here in just a moment,

where are we picking up at the beginning of Exodus chapter 30?

So we're still in the middle of Moses being on top of Mount Sinai.

And so as we've talked about, Moses is on top of Mount Sinai.

He's speaking with God face to face.

He's sort of in the heavenly sanctuary where God dwells, where the angels are,

where the angels are worshipping him.

Right.

And within that, we get the angels are, where the angels are worshipping him, right? And within that, we get the

instructions for the tab, building the tabernacle, the sanctuary on earth, right? That's going to be

like a copy on earth. Within that, we had the instructions a couple weeks, a few weeks ago now.

The instructions for all the furniture and building the veils of the tabernacle and all of that.

Then we moved from sort of the tabernacle, the building, right?

The tents and the bells of the building to the vestments of the high priest and the priests a couple weeks ago.

And then last time we read about Aaron and his two oldest sons being ordained as high priest and his priests and the process and the service where they did that.

And then at the very end of Chapter 29, it talked about sort of the regular daily sacrifices

that they were going to offer in the tabernacle.

So as we pick up, we're still chapters 30 and 31.
