Day 135: Dedication Offerings and Lampstand Instructions - Immerse Bible Reading Experience

Welcome to Day 135 of Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience. In this episode, we explore the events on the day Moses set up the tabernacle, highlighting the anointing and dedication of the tabernacle and its furnishings, and the offerings brought by the leaders of Israel. Each tribal leader presents silver platters, basins filled with grain offerings, gold containers of incense, and various animals for burnt, sin, and peace offerings over a 12-day period. The Lord instructs Moses to distribute oxen and wagons to the Levites for transporting the tabernacle and specifies how Aaron should arrange the seven lamps on the lampstand to shine light forward. Moses follows the exact design shown by the Lord for the construction of the lampstand. Join us as we delve into these detailed rituals and offerings, reflecting on the significance and obedience shown by the leaders and Moses.

QUICK START GUIDE
3 ways to get the most out of your experience

1. Use Immerse: Beginnings instead of your regular chapter and verse Bible. This special reader’s edition restores the Bible to its natural simplicity and beauty by removing chapter and verse numbers and other historical additions. Letters look like letters, songs look like songs, and the original literary structures are visible in each book.
2. Commit to making this a community experience. Immerse is designed for groups to encounter large portions of the Bible together
   for 8 weeks–more like a book club, less like a Bible study. By meeting every week in small groups and discussing what you read in open,
   honest conversations, you and your community can come together to be transformed through an authentic experience with the Scriptures.
3. Aim to understand the big story. Read through “The Stories and the Story” (p. 483) to see how the books of the Bible work together to tell God’s story of his creation’s restoration. As you read through Immerse: Beginnings, rather than ask, “How do I fit God into my busy life?” begin asking, “How can I join in God’s great plan by living out my part in his story?”
