What is the significance of Day 51 in the Bible in a Year podcast?
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 51. Let's keep on going. Actually, my goodness, congratulations to you. This is, I think, a pretty monumental day because not only is this the last day that we are reading the book of Exodus, we're reading Exodus chapter 39 and 40. And also the last day we're reading from the book of Leviticus chapter 27. But it is also the last day that we're in. That's the third time period. Remember, there's 12 time periods that we're walking through.
And when it comes to the narrative books of scripture, we had the early world, we had the patriarchs, and now we have Egypt and Exodus. Tomorrow we'll move into the desert wanderings. And just again, congratulations, because it is not necessarily an easy thing to have carved out this kind of time to be able to spend with the Lord and to hear his word every single day. This is our day 51, but maybe this is, you know, day 100 for you. Maybe it's taken a while for you to get to this point, but that is no problem because I am just absolutely convinced that that the more and more, the longer and longer that we do this, that we expose ourselves and like just immerse ourselves in God's word, it changes how we see, it changes how we think, it changes how we love.
In fact, that's in so many ways the heart of what we're trying to do. There's this thing, there's this Greek word called metanoia. And metanoia means to change your mind, to have your mind transformed. And nothing like God's grace and nothing like his word proclaimed does that to us. It changes our mind. It changes how we, gosh, it changes what we love and it changes how we see. And it's just, it's incredible. So this is day 51. As I said, we're reading from Exodus chapter 39 and 40 from Leviticus 27. And also we're praying today from Psalm 83. As always, the Bible translation that I'm reading is the revised standard version, second Catholic edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension.

So you're probably tired of me telling you, inviting you to do that. Not telling you what to, I'm not here to tell you what to do. Once again, the last two chapters of Exodus, the last chapter of Leviticus and Psalm 83. The book of Exodus chapter 39, making the priest's garments. And of the blue and purple and scarlet stuff they made finely wrought garments for ministering in the holy place. They made the holy garments for Aaron as the Lord had commanded Moses. And he made the ephod of gold, blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen. And gold leaf was hammered out and cut into threads to work into the blue and purple and the scarlet stuff and into the fine twined linen in skilled design.
They made for the ephod shoulder pieces, joined to it at its two edges, and the skillfully woven band upon it, to belt it on, was of the same materials and workmanship of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet stuff, and fine twined linen, as the Lord had commanded Moses. The onyx stones were prepared, enclosed in settings of gold filigree, and engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel. And he set them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod to be stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel as the Lord had commanded Moses. He made the breast piece in skilled work like the work of the ephod of gold, blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twine linen. It was square. The breast piece was made double, a span its length and a span its breadth when doubled. And they set it in four rows of stones.
