They still traveled?

Exodus 40:36 says, “And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:

40:37 But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.”  Can you imagine the huge trouble of taking gods house apart to move it when the Israelites traveled?  Couldn’t god just have appeared as a pillar like he did when they first left Egypt? Exodus 13:21 “And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:”  It would have been easier for his people.  All the tabernacle was is a portable slaughterhouse for his burnt offerings.  They could have killed, sprinkled blood, and burnt flesh out in the open like the good old days.  Why go through the trouble?

Preists are all from Aaron’s family?

Exodus 40:13 says, “And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.

40:14 And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:

40:15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.”  Is your local preist a son of the line of Aaron?  If you don’t think so then he must be a fraud.  Cast him out.  I don’t know how you could tell if he was or wasn’t though.  Do they carry a card of something?

I thought they only borrowed the money from Egypt?

Exodus 38:21 says, “This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.

38:22 And Bezaleel the son Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.

38:23 And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.38:24 All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

38:25 And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

38:26 A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.

38:27 And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.

38:28 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.

38:29 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.”  That is a lot wealth for people who were slaves of Egypt.  Let alone to be wandering about in the wilderness with all of this linen, brass, and other materials to build god his house on earth.  But earlier I thought the Hebrews only borrowed from the Egyptians? Exodus 12:35 “And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:

12:36 And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.”  Now in my house, if you take something and don’t plan on returning it, we call that stealing.  And I don’t think they plan on going back to Egypt and returning these items that compose gods home and the arc of the covenant.  Isn’t theft another of god’s judgements which we see being broken here.  

Lookingglasses?

Exodus 38:8 says, “And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.”  Lookingglasses?  Weren’t the women allowed inside the tabernacle?  Why, once again, would a woman want to believe in this female hating religion? For those of you who are wondering what a laver is Exodus 40:30 “And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.”  I guess women had to view the stuff going on past the laver through lookingglasses, whatever they were.

Badger skin?

Exodus 35:7 says, “And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,”  I thought they were in the wilderness?  Their was no food and they were living on mana.  Where did the badgers come from?

Where does all the jewelry keep coming from?

Exodus 35:22 says “And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered, offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.”  Where do the Hebrews keep getting all of this jewelry from?  Didn’t they already give it to Aaron to make the golden calf god?  Exodus 32:1 “And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

32:2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.

32:3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.

32:4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.”  After they cast the calf Moses destroyed the gold?  Exodus 32:20 “And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.”  Eww.  You don’t think they saved it from their?  Eww.

Shinny skin

Exodus 34:29 says, “And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.

34:30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.”  I don’t believe this.  If his skin shone when he saw god then why didn’t it happen to others?  Exodus 24:9 “Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:

24:10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.

24:11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.”  So there should have been 74 people with shiny skin.  And that should have made people really scared.  Now this isn’t the first time someone saw god so why is it that they didn’t ever before take precautions about seeing his face?  Exodus 33:19 says, “And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.

33:20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

33:21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:

33:22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:

33:23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.”  So why did the 74 men not have to worry about seeing gods face earlier but now it will kill?
