Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture. The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible Timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. This is day 49. Let's keep on going. We're reading from two chapters in Exodus. We're coming to the end of Exodus, Exodus chapter 35 and 36. We're also reading

As I said, today, we're reading from Exodus chapter 35 and 36. We're leaving a little bit of the narrative.
We visited the narrative for a bit, right? We had a little digression where we talked about the tabernacle, talked about the labor, talked about all these, the elements of temple worship. Then we got back to the story with the golden calf and And we're also going to go back to the story clearly, but also some Sabbath regulations for the tabernacle and for the offerings brought into the tabernacle. Some of this is going to sound familiar. You've already heard this in Exodus and you've heard this in Leviticus. And that's why God, he was just repeating this, these instructions, which one of the things that reminds me is not just that, wow, this is kind of repetitive, but that it's important.
Why are certain instructions repeated in the Bible?
We repeat the things that are important and we highlight those things that are important by uttering them again. And one of the things that my older brother will say is that he's like, dude, whenever you're preaching, you just repeat the same thing over and over. I'm like, yeah, dude, because we remember stuff that when it gets repeated over and over again, and here is the Lord repeating a bit of what he has already said in Leviticus and what he's even already said some of these things in the book of Exodus. But it's important for us because it is revealing the heart of worship. When it comes to Sabbath, when it comes to the tabernacle, when it comes from the offerings that are brought into the tabernacle, it is all about worship. And there's nothing, there's no greater human act that anyone could do than the act of worship. And that's one of the reasons why the Lord God continues to instruct us in that teaching, teaching of worship.
What is the significance of the Sabbath regulations?
So without anything further, Exodus chapter 35 and 36, Sabbath Regulations. Moses assembled all the congregation of the sons of Israel and said to them, these are the things which the Lord has commanded you to do. Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day, you shall have a holy Sabbath of solemn rest to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death. You shall kindle no fire in all your habitations on the Sabbath day. Preparations for making the tabernacle. Moses said to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, this is the thing which the Lord has commanded. Take from among you an offering to the Lord, whoever is of generous heart. Let him bring the Lord's offering, gold, silver, and bronze, blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen, goat's hair, tanned ram's skins and goat skins, acacia wood, oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, and onyx stones and stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece.
And let every able man among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded, the tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its frames, its bars, its pillars and its bases, the ark with its poles, the mercy seat and the veil of the screen, the table with its poles and all its utensils, and the bread of the presence.
