Episode 23 - ’Stop Giving!’: Israel’s Generosity in the Wilderness

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode, I discuss the story of Moses and the Israelites building the tabernacle while on their way to the Promised Land.

EPISODE NOTES

Today's podcast is a bit unusual. It comes from an unlikely biblical source. Why is that, you ask? Well, this reading is usually ignored by most preachers and completely kept in the dark. 

However, I think it's the perfect subject to discuss in this week's episode, and so, here we are: a reading of Exodus 35:1 through Exodus 36:7.

This passage tells the story of Moses and the Israelites building the tabernacle while on the road to the Promised Land.

Boring, you might think. But, as you must have learned already, there is always an exciting story (or explanation) behind every tale I discuss in this podcast.

So, how does this story go? And why do I think it’s so compelling? 

I answer these questions in this week's episode of The Bible You Thought You Knew, so tune in now!
