Exodus 34 - 36 

What's this punishing the children of those who sin to the 3rd and 4th generation? What does that even mean? 

In verse 9, Moses implores God to take the Israelites as God's inheritance. How can God have an inheritance? No being comes before God. I wonder if this word 'inheritance' is translated differently in other versions. No, I didn't look just now. 

Today, when I read  "Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles" it reminds me of the New Testament parable in which Jesus says if you hand causes you to sin cut it off, if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out. 

Why no yeast? Does it symbolize something?

Bezalel and Oholiab demonstrate the need for the arts: artistic crafts it says here.


Sometimes, I wonder if I am a tabernacle: beautifully made, but easily taken down.
