Exodus chapter 29

Does God make any promises in this chapter?

• God promised to meet with the Children of Israel at the door of the Tabernacle and sanctify it with His glory.
• God promised to live among the Children of Israel and be their God.

Are there any references to Jesus?

• Aaron and his sons had to have sacrifices made on their behalf because they were sinful individuals. Jesus, the sinless God-man, did not require any sacrifices made for Him before He could assume the office of High Priest
• The bullock offered as a sin offering was a picture of Jesus, our sin offering.
• The ram offered as a burnt offering and the unleavened bread given as a sweet savor unto God was a picture of Jesus, Who because of His lack of sin He was the only acceptable sacrificed offered for us.
• The ram of consecration is a picture of Jesus, the sacred offering given for those who have been set apart for God's service.
• The sin offering was to be made each day. Jesus' atonement was sufficient to cover us each and every day! (Praise the Lord!)

Are there any references to eternal events?

• God promised to dwell among the Children of Israel in the Tabernacle. God promised to dwell among the redeemed on earth, specifically when New Jerusalem, His Capital City, is placed upon the New Earth. Even one name of Jesus, Emanuel, means "God with us." God really will be with us and make his dwelling among us for all eternity.

Does God issue any commands?

• God gave instructions for consecrating the priests for their offices.
• God gave instructions for feeding the priests and their families through the heave offering and the ram of consecration.
• Sin offerings were to be offered every day, including the Sabbath.
