0:00.0	The Bible. Are you intimidated at the thought of reading such a complicated book? Do you find it
0:10.4	daunting or delightful or both? Welcome to the club. The Bible book club where we read every word
0:19.4	of this great book and then study it together welcome back
0:27.4	bible book club listeners and if you are as weary about being in law school maybe we have some
0:33.0	attorneys i feel like i'm in law school and I certainly didn't go to law school.
0:38.0	So no offense, if you're an attorney and this is enjoyable to you. But we are continuing in law school this week. No, we get a break this week. We get a break. Oh, we get a break.

1:12.1	were to be placed inside the tabernacle. A shout out to two of the craftsmen who built the
1:17.7	tabernacle. And lastly, the importance of the final mention of the phrase, then the Lord said to
1:23.4	Moses for the seventh time, that the Sabbath is a holy time in a holy space. And that theme is

1:52.0	chapters, we're going to get a little break in that. Why? Why? Why are we getting this break?
1:57.1	Well, it's not a good reason. The people, this is the scene, the people have been left down
2:03.5	at the base of the mountain by Moses. And remember, from a few chapters ago, they are terrified
2:09.9	of the mountain after that episode when it quaked and growled at them. And they are just like,
2:16.3	okay, Moses, you do all the talking to God.
