Wikipedia, states that “The Tabernacle ("residence" or "dwelling place"), according to the Hebrew Bible, was the portable earthly dwelling place for the Shekinah from the time of the Exodus from Egypt through the conquering of the land of Canaan.” In the Tabernacle, we find God dwelling among His chosen people.

The Rules of Oppression For this assignment, I was asked to create an essay demonstrating my knowledge from the semester, by elaborating on the topics discussed in class on philosophers of morality. The philosopher that maximized my attention was Friedrich Nietzsche.

The question that was on the minds of the Israelite people as Exodus 11 drew to a conclusion was simple, yet carried many implications; how would they avoid the consequences when the angel of the Lord carries out the recently delivered tenth plague. The tenth plague, or the Plague of the Firstborn, would soon be carried out against the people of Israel. A plague that would see all first born, both of man and animal, killed throughout the night. The reasons to celebrate the original Passover become

The two major themes of Genesis 12-50 are “be fruitful and multiply” and “fill the earth.” These two themes are first stated in Genesis 1:28, but recur many times throughout Genesis, especially with Abraham, his son Isaac, and Isaac’s son Jacob. One challenge Abraham faces in regards to the blessing of progeny is his wife’s, Sarah’s, barrenness. This barrenness is a fact of her existence. (Brown, 309) At first Sarah gives Abraham one of her slaves, Hagar, in order for him to have a child. (Gen.

Daniel 9: Prophecy and Prayer The book of Daniel is considered one of the most important books of the Bible, primarily because of the prophecies within it. Amongst these prophecies, Daniel chapter nine is one of the most prominent. Within the chapter is the well-known seventy-week prophecy.

Escape Through The Red Sea Exodus 14: 10-20 10 As Pharaoh drew near, the Israelites looked back, and there were the Egyptians advancing on them.

relationships with His people throughout the Old Testament. Another word to describe the relationship between God and his people is covenant. The word covenant goes into the details of the relationship.

MOSES AND THE TEN PLAGUES In the story of Moses and the Ten Plagues which stretches from Exodus 7-12, God begins with pure lies. First, God says to Moses and the elders of Israel to say to the king of Egypt, “The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us and now let us go, we beseech you, three days’ journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God” (3:18).
