Laws

God is setting up all the laws for Israel! How cool is that God is rising a great nation out from the ashes, like literally. He commands Moses to create its laws... Temples, customs everything!!

² “Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd, ³ and do not show favoritism to a poor person in a lawsuit.

Arh, this is one that we sometimes still have problems with, blindly following the crowd arh. Follow the crowd because following is convenience. God warns us not to do so, because it is dangerous and can pervert justice. 

It talks about a huge variety of things, from the smallest of the details and to the greatest of things. God covered everything!! If anyone of us really need to start a nation, this is the guide book! haha! 

I am awed by the amount of blood that was sacrificed to God. 2 lambs everyday and on the consecration week 7 bulls and 3 bulls. Its like so many animals! And there were so many splashing of the animal's blood! Personally i find it a little disgusting, but if i was there and then God commanded me, i would do it. 

I found a picture that shows how the ephod looks like, i think this is reasonably accurate. (Credits to  http://therakisrant.wordpress.com )
