Welcome to a year in the Bible with daily grace. The Bible tells one big story of redemption,

and we want to spend five minutes every day journeying through the Bible from start to

finish and exploring how all of it points to Jesus.

Hey everybody, welcome back to the year in the Bible with daily grace podcast. My name

is Kristen and today we're going to be talking about numbers seven through nine. So as we

start off with today's reading in number seven, we see that Moses was done setting up the

Tabernacle. He was finished and now the 12 tribes of Israel were starting to give their

offerings to the altar. This whole process of gift giving lasted 12 days. And as you probably

notice, the Bible is pretty specific. It's pretty detailed here. It records the number

of silver plates given and weighing them down to the quarter pounds. It collects the number

of bowls and lambs and goats and rams. And of all the sacrifices that were given in dedication

to the altar, we notice that there were a lot of blood sacrifices to be made on behalf

of the people. And then in chapter eight, we're going to see that Aaron is going to set up

the lamp stands and leave fights are going to be cleansed and set apart. They're given

specific instructions and you guessed it, more offerings. And then in chapter nine, the

people celebrate the Passover. So think back to the book of Exodus and the significance

of the Passover. It's a huge day. It's a special day to commemorate when God saved the people

from slavery. The people were in bondage. They were under harsh rule and God made away for

them to be free. He sent plagues to the Egyptians. He displayed mighty, mighty power. But

when the Egyptians still wouldn't let the Israelites go, God gave this final plague. And

he told the people, his people to kill a lamb, to put the blood of the lamb over the doorposts

and whoever was under the blood of the lamb would be saved. I love it. Beautiful imagery,
