Hey, church family, it is Devo time. If you got your Bible, we're going to go to Leviticus

Chapter 16. That's right, I said Leviticus. So today and tomorrow, we're going to apply what we

so that he may not die.

For I will appear in the cloud over the mercy seat.

So what's happened at this point is they have built a tabernacle by which they could worship.
