Welcome back to Reading with Ben! Its time to continue with the episode
#16 Exodus chapters 31 & 32.
Genesis Chapter 31, Introducing the Builders
- Now God introduces the guys who are going to be the primary contractors on this job, Bezalel and Oholiab. They're skilled and majorly cool.
- Think about why the Bible bothers to mention these guys. To give them glory? To glorify their houses or tribes? Or maybe they were just hanging around when all of this stuff was going in the book.
Genesis Chapter 32, The Golden Calf
- Spoiler alert: this chapter is where the Israelites screw up big time, and Moses has to bail them out. Here's how it all goes down.
- While Moses was chatting up God on the mountain for forty days, the people were getting antsy. Moses did just sort of wander off into the desert, claiming he knew where he was going. What gives?
