Bible Study for Atheists: Exodus Chapters 39 - 40

[00:00:00] Husband! Yes, wife? Let's read the Bible. But we're atheists. Why would we want to do such a thing?

[00:00:05] Because we live in small-town USA and everyone around us quotes this thing extensively

[00:00:11] and we have no idea how to respond. That's true. Neither of us grew up with religion,

[00:00:16] yet Christianity is playing a huge part in our country's politics. We're not scholars or academics,

[00:00:22] so Sacrilegious Discourse is our first take reaction. This feed houses our reading of the

[00:00:27] book of Exodus. And each subsequent book will get its own separate feed too.

[00:00:32] Why are we separating each book? Not all podcast platforms allow access to older episodes.

[00:00:37] This will ensure our listeners don't lose access to any of our previously released material.

[00:00:42] You can find our most recent episodes on our main channel, Sacrilegious Discourse.

[00:00:46] That's right! Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss a single episode.

[00:00:56] Hey you, welcome to Sacrilegious Discourse. I'm husband. I'm wife.

[00:01:00] And together we're reading the Bible. Starting with Genesis and eventually ending with

[00:01:05] Revelations, we're working through every book and offering our Atheist two cents.

[00:01:10] Or Shekels. Yeah those. We're asking questions and pointing out all the nonsense.

[00:01:15] We aren't academics or scholars. Nope! In fact when it comes to religion

[00:01:19] we really don't know anything at all. What we've learned so far is that God's a dick.

[00:01:25] Oh he really is isn't he? If you're interested in how we reached this startling conclusion

[00:01:31] maybe start from episode one. Otherwise jump in anywhere. It's all good. Yep!

[00:01:48] Husband. Wife. Guess what? Uh what? This is our final episode that covers Exodus.

[00:01:59] I'm almost happy about that. Yes so am I. Because I'm sick of the arc.

[00:02:04] Although yeah I've heard that some of the future ones are boring too. Like when we get to Leviticus

[00:02:10] apparently that's gonna suck. But I'm just excited because we'll have finished two books of the Bible!

[00:02:16] Luckily they have us to get through it. Yeah but- I mean otherwise that's what's

[00:02:20] up. Why do you keep cutting me off? Because I like cutting you off. Oh my god.

[00:02:25] So do you remember what happened last time asshole? It seems like there was more arc

[00:02:31] shit. There was more arc shit. And I can't distinguish anymore what it is because

[00:02:37] there's two goddamn much arc shit. Well there was the one guy was building it and the other guy

[00:02:42] was decorating it. That's right he was embroidering and engraving. Yeah yeah a holy ab was the holy ab.

[00:02:49] Yeah from the Trinidad. Trinidad. The tribe of Dan. Tribe of Dan. And then also

[00:02:56] there was a lot of the word gold and you were a whiny bitch. I mean you know yeah.

[00:03:05] So are you ready to finish this up with Exodus chapters 39 and 40? I am before we get started

[00:03:14] though. I do want to reiterate that we have a website up now. We do I saw it and it looks so

[00:05:31] sorry I'm so excited. And he just can't have it. Oh that's dumb. The making of the priest garments

[00:05:38] this is gonna be so boring and I ain't even mad because I'm just so excited that we're finished.

[00:05:42] It's gonna be done with this shit yeah right. The craftsman made beautiful sacred garments of blue,

[00:05:47] purple and scarlet cloth clothing for Aaron to wear while ministering in the holy place just as the Lord

[00:05:53] had commanded Moses. I thought we already talked about their garments though like I remember something

[00:05:58] about pomegranates and bells and stuff. That was when they were describing what they were they

[00:06:03] weren't describing how and when they made them and who made them. Oh god. Like you know they've

[00:06:08] got to cover this a million times because otherwise we might forget that uh you know a holy ab and

[00:06:15] Bezalel made the fucking garments so but now we know and we know what products to use. We know how

[00:06:27] much people donated slash were taxed slash at gunpoint right knife point whatever the fuck cares right.

[00:06:36] Bezalel made the ephod of finally woven linen and embroidered it with gold. Wait no he did not

[00:06:42] embroider it because that was a holy ab they said a holy ab did the embroidery. I know I know

[00:06:46] they're giving Bezalel some credit that he does not deserve here. I totally agree with you 100%.

[00:06:52] They're always cutting on that tribe of Dan. I know poor tribe of Dan. They always get shorted.

[00:06:57] Right? Okay so anyway Bezalel did not make that and did not embroider it with gold and with

[00:07:05] blue, purple and scarlet thread. He made or really did not make gold thread by hammering out

[00:07:11] or maybe he did this part. Oh there is hammering involved okay. He made gold thread by hammering

[00:07:16] out thin sheets of gold and cutting it into fine strands. Wait you can cut threads? You can cut

[00:07:23] gold into threads? That sounds what? It is very malleable I guess but that like I don't know I'm

[00:07:33] picturing trying to use Play-Doh right and it doesn't work as thread. Yeah no okay sorry I

[00:07:40] just I'm just curious. You know how he did it? No how do you do it? With great skill and care because

[00:07:44] that's what it says right with great skill and care he worked it into the fine linen with the blue

[00:07:49] purple and scarlet thread. I guess if you're gifted with God's abilities to craft. Here's

[00:07:54] what I think. I don't think he actually like put it through a needle and used it to sew.

[00:07:59] I think he just made very very thin tiny strands of gold that he then like braided into

[00:08:07] the threads. Okay you know what I mean? All right like the actual threads were woven and stuff and

[00:08:14] he just like put this around them very carefully. Okay I don't know that's what I imagine. I don't

[00:08:22] really care. I don't either. The e-fog consisted of two pieces front and back joined at the shoulders

[00:08:27] with two shoulder pieces. The decorative sash was made of the same materials finally woven

[00:08:33] linen embroidered with gold and with blue purple and scarlet thread just as the Lord had commanded

[00:08:38] Moses. They mounted the two onyx stones in settings of fine gold filigree. They I wonder if that's a

[00:08:45] holy abode. Yeah I don't know but they already told us about this. The stones were engraved with

[00:08:52] the names of the tribes of Israel just as a seal is engraved. I bet Dan was last. It's just we

[00:08:58] already did this. I know. He fastened these stones on the shoulder pieces of the e-pod as a reminder

[00:09:04] that the priest represents the people of Israel. All this was done just as the Lord had commanded

[00:09:09] Moses two chapters ago. Just keep in mind this is the last of Exodus. We get to start on something

[00:09:15] new next week. Well wait no not next week. No next week is the bonus um that where we quiz

[00:09:21] we get quizzed and um see how well we remember Exodus and we learn a thing. My answer is just

[00:09:29] going to be arc for everything and fine arc what colors were used and scarlet blue and purple. Yeah that

[00:09:37] Bezalel made the chess piece with great skill and care. He did everything. Did he do it with

[00:09:40] great skill and care? He did everything with great skill and care. I didn't know he did it with

[00:09:44] great skill and care. That Bezalel. I missed that part I think. He is one whoopie fruit.

[00:09:50] He made it to match the e-pod using finely woven gold no finely woven linen embroidered with gold

[00:09:55] and with blue purple and scarlet thread. He made the chess piece of a single piece of cloth folded

[00:10:00] to form a pouch nine inches square. That's what she said. You're dumb. They mounted four rows of

[00:10:10] gemstones on it. The first row contained a red carnelian, a pale green peridot and an emerald.

[00:10:17] Okay. The second row contained a turquoise, a blue lapis lazuli and a white moonstone. The third

[00:10:24] row contained an orange jasonth, an agate and a purple amethyst. The fourth row contained a blue

[00:10:31] green barrel, an onyx and a green jasper. All these stones were set in gold filligree. Okay.

[00:10:38] Do you ever wonder we should look up to see if there's ever been like somebody that's actually

[00:10:43] gone out of their way to like recreate this stuff and these garments and stuff? We always say that.

[00:10:47] We say that over and over again. Right, but I mean I'm just curious because like it's like the

[00:10:51] blueprints are right here in the Bible and I'm just curious if there's like literally a physical

[00:10:54] example of this. I told you I already want to order that robe with the pomegranates on it.

[00:10:59] Because I know, I know the pope doesn't wear this stuff. No. I mean he wears something fancy

[00:11:03] but it's not this. He's got that big old tall hat. What do you think that symbolizes?

[00:11:06] I don't know. Fallic symbol? Gross. Everything's a penis joke. Each stone represented one of the

[00:11:14] 12 sons of Israel and the name of that tribe was engraved on it like a seal. To attach the chest

[00:11:20] piece to the ephod they made braided cords of pure gold thread. They also made two settings of

[00:11:26] gold filligree and two gold rings and attached them to the top corners of the chest piece.

[00:11:32] My chest does not have corners. A lot of you know. They tied the two gold cords to the rings on the

[00:11:39] chest piece. Although remember, what were we watching that? We just saw where oh it was the Star Trek

[00:11:45] the original series and all the ladies had pointy titties. Oh yeah. Those ladies had corners.

[00:11:51] Yeah. Their boobs had corners. Yeah they were sharp. They were sharp. You would cut yourself

[00:11:57] on their pointy tits. Okay they tied the other ends of the cords to the gold settings on the

[00:12:03] shoulder pieces of the ephod then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the inside

[00:12:08] edges of the chest piece next to the ephod. Then they made two more gold rings and attached

[00:12:14] them to the front of the ephod below the shoulder pieces just above the knot where

[00:12:18] the decorative sash was fastened to the ephod. Such important information. I know right. Yeah

[00:12:23] they attached the bottom riveted riveted riveted. Yeah they attached the bottom rings of the

[00:12:28] chest piece to the rings on the ephod with blue cords in this way. The chest piece was held securely

[00:12:33] to the ephod above the decorative sash. All this was done just as the lord had commanded who? Moses.

[00:12:40] I can definitely see why this is the most important religion in all of time because you

[00:12:46] know for at least for American society in general that we base our government around

[00:12:51] because it's so such a good and well written book isn't it? The sarcasm is dripping off of you. It is

[00:12:57] really I mean like I'm sweating sarcasm right now. Good grief. Oh speaking of which. What? Oh it's

[00:13:04] rainy. Yeah it just started down pouring wow. That is crazy how loud it is. So if you hear

[00:13:11] rain in the background sorry. Yeah that's a storm sorry. It just started dumping. Yikes.

[00:13:16] I thought it was a truck going by and then it just kept going. Maybe it was God pissing. Oh

[00:13:20] shit. He's like hey fuckers. Why so angry? Bezalel made the robe that is worn with the ephod from a

[00:13:29] single piece of blue woven cloth with an opening for Aaron's head in the middle of it. The opening

[00:13:34] was reinforced with a woven collar so it would not tear. That was nice of them. Yeah they made

[00:13:40] pomegranates. See? Yes. Wait how do you make pomegranates? Oh okay so they made things that

[00:13:47] resembled pomegranates not you don't make pomegranates. Oh okay. Pomegranates are plants that grow. I

[00:13:52] thought they were using actual pomegranates. I thought they were too but here it says they

[00:13:55] made pomegranates of blue purple and scarlet yarn and attached them to the hem of the robe.

[00:14:00] Maybe there's a different meaning for pomegranates? No they made out of yarn

[00:14:05] things that resembled pomegranates. Like it's like if you say they put roses on the dress

[00:14:10] well no they put things that looked like roses. They didn't actually put roses but that's not what

[00:14:16] they said last time. Yeah they said they put pomegranates on them. I would use real ones not

[00:14:20] yarn ones. I mean like that's until now that's what they've been saying. Yeah a little disappointed.

[00:14:25] Right? They also made bells of pure gold and placed them between the pomegranates along

[00:14:29] the hem of the robe with bells and pomegranates alternating all around the hem. See we already

[00:14:34] read this. I know. This robe was to be worn whenever the priest ministered before the Lord

[00:14:39] just as the Lord had commanded Moses. They made tunics for Aaron and his sons from fine linen cloth.

[00:14:44] The turban and the special head coverings were made of fine linen. Wait they wore turbans back

[00:14:49] then? Oh that's what this says. That would really piss off a lot of American people that

[00:14:54] are Christians. Yes it would wouldn't it? Like they wore turbans. They wore turbans mother

[00:14:58] fuckers. I mean get over yourself. That's crazy. Yeah and the turbans and the special head coverings

[00:15:06] special head coverings were made of fine linen and the undergarments were also made of finely

[00:15:11] woven linen. They wore undergarments so that if they went upstairs you couldn't see up their dresses.

[00:15:15] That was very important to them. The sashes were made of finely woven linen and embroidered

[00:15:20] with what colors? Gold. Oh wait not gold. No scarlet blue and purple. Blue purple

[00:15:27] and scarlet thread. Just as the Lord had commanded who? Moses two chapters ago. Oh there goes some Alexa.

[00:15:34] Alexa stop. There she go. We were so good for so long about knowing when the alarm was going to go

[00:15:42] off and not doing or you know sorry everybody but that was that was we need to go to bed now

[00:15:47] but we're gonna finish this podcast don't worry we're good. We're good. I think we can manage.

[00:15:51] We really need to time this better though. Really do. It happens like that was that was

[00:15:54] really piss poor on our part. At least it was at the end of a paragraph. Yeah there's that. There's

[00:15:59] that so we've had rain we've had the Amazon Echo go off what else will we have today? I don't know.

[00:16:05] Finally they made the secret medallion the badge of holiness of pure gold. Wait have they

[00:16:10] talked about this? No I don't recall that. They engraved it like a seal with these words oh my

[00:16:15] God all caps holy to the and then not all caps Lord. Holy to the Lord. Holy to the Lord. Right

[00:16:25] that's how all caps work right you yell yeah I guess that's what they put on there they put holy

[00:16:30] to the Lord. They attached the medallion with a blue cord to Aaron's turban just as the Lord

[00:16:36] had commanded Moses. This sounds very Middle Eastern and that's because guess where they were

[00:16:42] Middle East yeah I know but like this was pre Christ but everybody loves to Americanize Christianity.

[00:16:48] Yeah like that's like a big thing they weren't white imagine it like they're literally wearing

[00:16:53] turbans in the fucking Bible I know and what's really funny is that certain people are like

[00:16:59] I am a Bibleist I do everything by what the Bible says and I'm like but do you though right

[00:17:04] but do you I never saw you wearing a turban my dear wait person. Okay next section the Tabernacle

[00:17:13] articles completed and so at last the Tabernacle was finished the Israelites had done everything

[00:17:20] just as the Lord had commanded Moses and they brought the entire Tabernacle to Moses the

[00:17:25] sacred tent with all its furnishings clasps frames crossbars posts and bases the tent covering

[00:17:31] of tanned well I cannot do this tanned ram skins I don't remember last time you're like sit and

[00:17:39] touch fast I know it's hard when it's just like in a row like I don't know I can't read I can't

[00:17:44] read it good trips you up it does the tent coverings of tanned ram skins and fine goat

[00:17:51] skin leather the inner curtain to shield the Ark the Ark of the Covenant and its carrying poles

[00:17:56] the Ark's cover the place of atonement the table and all its utensils the bread of the presence

[00:18:02] the pure gold lamp stand and its symmetrical lamp cups all its accessories and the olive oil for lighting

[00:18:09] the gold altar the anointing oil and fragrant incense the curtain for the entrance of the

[00:18:14] sacred tent the bronze altar the bronze grating and its carrying poles and utensils

[00:18:19] the wash basin with its stand the curtains for the walls of the courtyard the posts and

[00:18:25] their bases the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard the ropes and tent pegs all the furnishings

[00:18:30] to be used in worship at the tabernacle the beautifully stitched garments for the priest

[00:18:35] to wear while ministering in the holy place the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the

[00:18:39] garments for his sons to wear as they minister as priests and a partridge and a pair tree so is

[00:18:46] that it yeah so it's like a traveling circus for Christians yeah so the people of Israel followed

[00:18:51] all of the Lord's instructions to Moses then Moses inspected all their work when he found it had been

[00:18:56] done just as the Lord had commanded him he blessed them the end it's good because I mean if things

[00:19:01] aren't done quite like they should Moses tends to kill people yeah or no he doesn't get his hands

[00:19:06] dirty he just tells them yeah he'll tell somebody to kill him yeah he just is like hey y'all over

[00:19:10] there kill yourselves like I bet a whole yab and um and uh bezel l or sitting there sweating it

[00:19:16] until he was like they were and they they're the only two that means that like they were in charge of

[00:19:21] all of this I bet a holy ab was really sweating because he hardly gets a mention so like he was

[00:19:25] like he was gonna you know shit rolls downhill right yeah a holy ab was going to get executed

[00:19:29] I kind of feel for that's a little what had just been like banished I kind of feel for a holy ab

[00:19:33] like I feel like maybe like he's a kindred spirit you know I know right yeah I feel like maybe he

[00:19:39] got roped into this and he's like god damn it I don't have a choice I just I gotta do this

[00:19:44] right poor guy all right let's see what happens in exit is chapter 40 sounds good

[00:19:56] I'm seeing it's okay hold on we're laughing because literally my wife picked up the next

[00:20:01] chapter the last chapter of Exodus by the way so yay but she like looked at it and then sighed

[00:20:08] because we don't plan this we don't like we don't look at this ahead of time so she literally

[00:20:12] picks it up in size and I'm like oh god damn it this is gonna suck isn't it yeah because

[00:20:17] the setting up of the tabernacle Jesus I know like that's the title of the next section so I just

[00:20:22] I read it and I was like oh my god like okay Exodus the Ikea chapter yeah that's my wife

[00:20:31] originally pointed out yeah okay we're almost here okay I mean we're here but we're almost there

[00:20:36] yeah we're almost there we're almost done we're so close okay let's get this done yeah then the

[00:20:42] Lord said to Moses set up the tabernacle on the first day of the new year I ain't got a calendar yeah

[00:20:48] place the ark of the covenant inside and install the inner curtain to enclose the

[00:20:53] ark within the most holy place doesn't even tell him how to do this he did he did my god

[00:20:59] what the fuck either moses was really had like written instructions or something didn't he yeah I mean

[00:21:04] they do now at the very least so yeah well I think that these people were very simple I mean

[00:21:10] they obviously didn't have memes so well they had no context for greater understanding of

[00:21:18] more than one thing they were just so simple back then I guess then bring in the table and arrange

[00:21:23] the utensils on it and bring the lamp stand and set up the lamps place the golden sense altar in

[00:21:28] front of the ark of the covenant then hang the curtain at the entrance of the tabernacle

[00:21:33] so let me get this straight put the curtain where the curtain goes got it yeah place the altar

[00:21:38] of burnt offering in front of the tabernacle entrance set the wash basin between the tabernacle

[00:21:43] and the altar and fill it with water then set up the courtyard around the front of the tent and hang

[00:21:48] the curtain for the from the courtyard for the courtyard entrance you know how older people tell

[00:21:53] stories over and over again because they forget that they told you already yeah god is like yeah god

[00:21:58] is he's losing it man like I don't want to be that person and I'm so scared I'm already headed

[00:22:04] that way because sometimes I do tell stories just to hear myself talk I mean isn't that kind of what

[00:22:10] this is about I guess I don't know but I'm like he he literally says the same things over and over

[00:22:16] and over again all the time he's repetitive take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and

[00:22:22] all its furnishings to consecrate them and make them holy anoint the altar of burnt offering

[00:22:27] and its utensils to consecrate them then the altar will become absolutely holy there's that

[00:22:34] absolutely absolutely there's degrees of holiness apparently yeah apparently I thought it was like kind

[00:22:39] of are you pregnant or aren't you are you holy or aren't you yeah but no there's there's definitely

[00:22:43] degrees wow okay next anoint the wash basin with its stand to consecrate them present

[00:22:50] Aaron and his sons at the entrance of the tabernacle and wash them with water why you're

[00:22:54] just gonna splash blood on them dress Aaron with the sacred garments to anoint him consecrating

[00:23:00] him to serve me as a priest then present his sons and dress them in their tunics anoint them as you

[00:23:05] did their father so they may also serve me as priests with their anointing Aaron's descendants

[00:23:09] are set apart for the priesthood forever from generation to generation awesome so what happens

[00:23:17] if that line dies out there's no like backup yeah is there a backup plan

[00:23:24] Christianity just end I'm yawning because I'm so bored yeah no I know I think it's shitty that like

[00:23:32] Moses is the guy but it's his brother Aaron yeah I don't quite understand that I don't either

[00:23:37] and Aaron seems like a you know kind of a he's aloof a bit you know like he's not he's not really

[00:23:41] because I mean he's got that golden idol like he's not really involved in anything he doesn't

[00:23:45] talk to God yeah he's just like he gets to wear the shit he gets to wear the shit and his children

[00:23:50] forever after are like we're good with like even back in Egypt like Moses was kind of running the show

[00:23:56] yeah and then Aaron gets the spoils you know yeah like what's up with that but what's really

[00:24:00] funny I know Moses doesn't really want it but still but what's really funny is that um you

[00:24:05] had never heard of Aaron not being a even slightly religious person or having ever read

[00:24:11] the Bible you had no idea that Aaron was equally as important as Moses no I mean I would have guessed

[00:24:16] it wasn't a Bible name because there's lots of Aaron sure but you didn't know like oh it's Moses's

[00:24:23] brother who also did a lot of that Moses he stuff yeah I know I mean you hear about Moses she never

[00:24:28] heard about Aaron right Moses is the guy like if you don't know Bible stuff you're like who the

[00:24:33] fuck is Aaron he's some Bible guy right no he's actually not just a Bible guy he's actually like

[00:24:38] the Moses guy he but he's not really though but well but I mean it's the two of them

[00:24:45] it's the two of them but like Moses does all this shit and talks to God all the time and then Aaron

[00:24:51] just is well I think what it is is like Moses is supposed to be the the Jesus character that is

[00:24:59] the bridge between the people and God okay you know what I mean and then Aaron is the one who

[00:25:06] is like the Pope be guy that actually like deals with the people got it I mean that's my impression

[00:25:12] so it's both of them hand in hand got it I could be wrong like what the fuck do I know I know

[00:25:18] Bible whatever it's it's weird it is weird Moses proceeded to do everything just as the Lord

[00:25:25] had commanded him so the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month of the second

[00:25:31] year let me read that again the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month of the second

[00:25:38] year the second year yeah wait which second year I don't know what was the first one was the first

[00:25:46] one them coming to the mountain I don't know but like what I'm not understanding we're counting

[00:25:52] years yeah but what when did we start counting years I don't well they've been around Mount Sinai

[00:25:56] for a year so maybe like during then that's the start of what time this year that they're talking

[00:26:04] about right but in in relation to what is really in relation to what yeah I don't know second year

[00:26:10] okay first day of the first month of the second year okay first day of the first month of the

[00:26:15] second year okay I didn't know they did months it doesn't make any sense like literally makes no

[00:26:21] sense it's just like they love parts out yeah like a huge like they talked about the fucking arc

[00:26:26] enough but yeah I don't understand what the time frame but when did it happen fuck knows right

[00:26:32] Moses erected the tabernacle by setting down its bases inserting the frames attaching the crossbars

[00:26:37] and setting up the posts then he spread the coverings over the tabernacle frame and put on

[00:26:41] the protective layers just as the Lord had commanded him he took the stone tablets

[00:26:46] inscribed with the terms of the covenant and placed them inside the ark then he attached

[00:26:50] the carrying poles to the ark and he set the ark's cover the place of atonement on top of it

[00:26:55] now just remember that was a rewrite that he put in the the arc because he broke the first pair

[00:27:00] when yeah I know second draft yeah second draft then he brought the ark of the covenant into

[00:27:04] the tabernacle and hung the inner curtain to shield it from the view from view not the view

[00:27:10] the view like the show like joy bayhar would have you know a fit right okay sorry

[00:27:18] shield it from view just as the Lord had commanded him next Moses placed the table in the tabernacle

[00:27:24] along the north side of the holy place just outside the inner curtain and he's sound like

[00:27:28] he's doing this all by himself yes he said enough this whole I would think all by himself

[00:27:33] he's he's in charge of it so he might as well be right I don't fucking know right and he

[00:27:38] arranged the bread of the presence on the table before the Lord just as the Lord had commanded

[00:27:42] so they could have just said the Lord commanded him to do a whole lot of shit and he did it all

[00:27:48] right no I mean like I think the last half of of exes could have been combined into like one little

[00:27:54] section yeah and I'd have been happy with that like this is so so extra so extra he set the

[00:28:02] lamp stand in the tabernacle across from the table on the south side of the holy place then

[00:28:07] he lit the lamps in the Lord's presence just as the Lord had commanded him he also placed the

[00:28:11] gold incense altar in the tabernacle in the holy place in front of the inner curtain on it he burned

[00:28:17] the fragrant incense just as the Lord had commanded him he hung the curtain at the entrance of the

[00:28:22] tabernacle and he placed the altar of burnt offering near the tabernacle entrance on it

[00:28:28] he offered a burnt offering and a green offering just as the Lord had commanded him

[00:28:33] next Moses placed the wash basin between the tabernacle and the altar he filled it with water so

[00:28:38] the priests could wash themselves wash yourself Moses and Aaron and Aaron's son used some zizzes

[00:28:45] used water from it to wash their hands and feet and probably also their balls whenever they approached

[00:28:51] the altar and entered the tabernacle he didn't even like laugh or anything I'm sorry I'm

[00:28:56] I'm I was thinking of something to say and then it didn't it didn't congeal in my head

[00:29:02] so quickly enough no yeah it was it was gonna be really good and it was gonna be like the most

[00:29:07] hilarious thing that I've ever said on this podcast and then I completely forgot what I was gonna say

[00:29:12] I was wondering because I just said that they're gonna wash their balls yeah I totally I totally

[00:29:17] just like you were like blacked out for a minute you were just like whatever yeah no it was it

[00:29:22] was gonna be good whatever I was gonna say it was gonna be some good shit oh I'm so glad

[00:29:26] that you mentioned what we didn't hear nice yeah well I mean you know I just figured you should know

[00:29:32] what you're missing out on whenever they approached the altar and entered the tabernacle they washed

[00:29:37] themselves just as the Lord had commanded Moses then he hung the curtains forming the courtyard

[00:29:42] around the tabernacle on the altar and he set up the curtain at the entrance of the courtyard

[00:29:46] so at last Moses finished the work awesome you know I got a question though oh what

[00:29:51] it

[00:29:54] like I have one paragraph left but there's this whole elaborate thing where they got a dress

[00:29:58] Aaron and dress his kids and all this other crap right what happens if they do all this stuff

[00:30:02] and they've already washed their stuff and then you got to take a shit I guess that you shouldn't

[00:30:07] do that I don't know okay maybe their constitutions were better back then and they could you know

[00:30:15] hold it I don't know to more appropriate times I'm just saying like that seems like I don't

[00:30:21] whatever who cares I mean that's like the question do bears pee and poo while they're in hibernation

[00:30:29] like you know that question well I asked that once and you know what everybody that commented was

[00:30:34] like you should google it and I'm like I'm like no I'm asking does anybody know before I google it

[00:30:42] right I don't think anybody knows the answer to that no actually researchers this is stuff

[00:30:45] I mean like normal people not researchers but like I was just like it was one of those you know that meme

[00:30:51] with the the dinosaur and he puts his claw under his chin and it's a philosopher raptor or whatever

[00:30:58] and you know he's a philosophy guy yeah yeah it was one of those like hmm I wonder that's pondering

[00:31:05] you know right and the answer is um their system slowed down so there is very little waste

[00:31:12] they they excrete very little waste that's very interesting right yeah it's kind of cool yeah okay

[00:31:19] ready we're about to finish this motherfucking chapter all right I mean not just the chapter

[00:31:24] the book the book of exodus the book of exodus the cloud over the tabernacle oh did god come to view

[00:31:32] the tabernacle in a cloud apparently I mean he likes to be clouds he's so cloudy really

[00:31:37] then the cloud covered the tabernacle and the glory of the lord filled the tabernacle oh my gosh

[00:31:45] is a cloud glorious because I always think of cloud like gray skies like you are my son

[00:31:50] son you know I don't know I mean I've never seen a god cloud before to be for you make me happy

[00:31:56] when skies are gray like but I've you know I've never seen a holy cloud I've never seen a holy

[00:32:03] cloud it's just that clouds don't seem like happiness and joy I did when I was hiking on the mountain

[00:32:09] I really enjoyed being amongst the clouds up there when I flew on an airplane I liked being in the

[00:32:14] clouds and then looking down over the clouds right that was pretty cool too yeah yeah but I wouldn't

[00:32:21] say that was one holy cloud but like when there's clouds on the ground it's pretty much just fog

[00:32:26] and yeah it's kind of annoying yeah and dangerous dangerous you shouldn't drive in fog right okay

[00:32:33] Moses could no longer enter the tabernacle because the cloud had settled down over it and the glory

[00:32:37] of the lord filled the tabernacle you can't walk through a fucking cloud that sounds like pea soup

[00:32:43] not cloud right and wasn't he up there in the cloud when god was over Mount Sinai yeah and he's

[00:32:49] already like he wears a veil over his face because he's seen the glory of god or what the

[00:32:54] fuck ever right now whenever the cloud lifted from the tabernacle the people of Israel would set out

[00:32:59] on their journey following it but if the cloud did not rise they remained where they were until

[00:33:05] it lifted it's so the clouds are like permanently stay over the tabernacle it's red light green light

[00:33:10] when the cloud lifts then they're like quick go and then the cloud comes back down and they're

[00:33:15] like red light stop what the fuck is this shit it's freeze tag I don't I don't I don't know okay

[00:33:22] the cloud of the Lord hovered over the tabernacle during the day and at night fire glowed inside

[00:33:28] the cloud so the whole family of Israel could see it this continued throughout all their journeys the

[00:33:34] end so the tabernacle supposed to be set up where this cloud is is that basically what it

[00:33:40] boils down to and the cloud essentially is is the presence of God yeah or something along

[00:33:46] those lines something along those lines and it's gonna like light fires inside the tabernacle

[00:33:51] and but isn't isn't Aaron and his son supposed to like preach in there and

[00:33:58] shit isn't that supposed to be part of it too I thought that was they go in there and wash

[00:34:01] their balls and and their hands and their feet but it sounded like at the end that they built

[00:34:05] it just for a fucking cloud that's what it sounded like to me too okay I'm just trying to

[00:34:10] be you know like understand what's going on it sounds like it's not just a cloud but a cloud

[00:34:14] that they got to pack up that whole fucking contraption and follow right wherever it goes

[00:34:18] right like oh shit the clouds the clouds moving get the fucking tabernacle and the drapes and the

[00:34:24] fucking the curtains and wash basins and the fucking utensils and the candles and the oils

[00:34:32] we got a hurry it's getting away god damn it I dropped a pomegranate in hell that goddamn cloud

[00:34:37] it's always moving around oh my god okay well we have finished exodus let's hope things get

[00:34:46] better and what's next leviticus leviticus is next yeah oh my god

[00:34:55] and then after leviticus has numbers I don't know what numbers it I think numbers are supposed to be

[00:35:01] pretty decent is it maybe all right exit well anyway exodus leviticus it doesn't really

[00:35:07] fucking matter we're reading the bible from beginning to end we got to get through it one

[00:35:10] way or the other so yeah you know you'll just hear a lot of like exasperation on my end because

[00:35:17] holy shit yeah I need a story or two I can't I can't deal with all this crap this is kill

[00:35:23] like they need to stop talking about the same goddamn thing over and over again but apparently

[00:35:27] they can because they did and they do and and I don't know exactly what leviticus says but it's

[00:35:34] a lot of big ads it's a lot of big ads from what I thought that's what I thought so like

[00:35:38] it's like maybe an entire book of big ads possibly yeah so we'll have to find a way to make it fun

[00:35:45] maybe maybe we should read ahead a little bit and if it's an entire book of big ads maybe we

[00:35:52] should just like read it but then like speed up the speed and do it all in one sitting oh

[00:35:58] that'd be fun I mean I'm just saying like maybe we should not subject our people

[00:36:03] that are listening to our people to an entire book of of a fucking baguettes I don't know we'll see

[00:36:11] all right well we have time to figure it out yeah we need to figure that shit out before we

[00:36:15] just spend like three months reading fucking names yeah because that sounds like I might go crazy

[00:36:22] I'm just saying well we will come up with something and we've got a couple weeks to work

[00:36:27] on that because next week is our bonus episode because we are officially done with exodus
