Oh let the Son of God and found you with his spirit and his life,

let him fill your heart and will satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you

home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of Award for Today,

Pastor Chuck continues with the Ephod of the priest as we pick up in exodus chapter 28 verse 8 now with today's

message here's pastor Chuck and the curious girdle of the Ephod which is upon it shall be of the same according to the work thereof even of gold of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twin linen.

Thou shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel.

So that these onix stones were actually to tack this Ephod here at the shoulders,

that to tack it together here at his shoulders but on these onics were the names of the children of Israel so that whenever the priest would go before God he was always bearing the names of the children of Israel, that is the tribes of Israel, on his shoulders.

Whenever he would go before God, they're in the onyx stones, there in his shoulders, the tribes of Israel would be six on each shoulder being carried before God.

With the worker, the engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you'll engrave the

two stones with the names of the children of Israel, and shall make them to be set in the

oches of gold.

And thou shall put the two stones upon the shoulder of thee,

fought for stones of a memorial unto the children of Israel,

and Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord
