7:1ff After the Tabernacle was set up, anointed, and sanctified, the leaders of the 12 tribes brought gifts and offerings for its use and maintenance. All of the people participated—it was everyone’s Tabernacle.
7:89 Imagine hearing the very voice of God! Moses must have trembled at the sound. Yet we have God’s words recorded for us in the Bible, and we should have no less reverence and awe for them. God sometimes spoke directly to his people to tell them the proper way to live. The Bible records these conversations to give us insights into God’s character. How tragic when we take these very words of God lightly. Like Moses, we have the privilege of talking to God, but God answers us differently—through his written Word and the guidance of his Holy Spirit. To receive this guidance, we need to seek to know God as Moses did.
