Exodus 33:7: “Now Moses would take the tent and pitch it outside the camp a good distance from the camp and he called it the tent of meeting and it came about that everyone who sought the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp.” Verse 11: “Thus the
Exodus 20:18: “And all the people were seeing the thunder voices and the torches and the voice of the shofar and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood at a distance.” This verse presents a very obvious question, how could people see the thundering voices? Many translations will
Exodus 20:3 “Thou shalt have no other (another) gods before me.” A man came to a rabbi and asked if the rabbi could teach him the deep mysteries of God. The rabbi asked the man a question. Two burglars entered a house through a chimney. Upon emerging from the chimney one burglar had a
Exodus 40:35: “And Moses could not enter the Tent of Meeting, for the cloud rested (shakhan) upon it , and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.” Moses could not enter the Tent of Meeting because of the Shekhinah glory. The Talmud and other Jewish literature are filled with references to the Shekhinah glory.
Proverbs 26:4 “Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.” Practically every modern translation will render the Hebrew word kasal as fool.

Exodus 17:3: “But the people thirsted there for water and they grumbled (worried) against Moses and said: Why, now, have you brought us up from Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?” Matthew 6:25-26 “Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your
Exodus 16:7: “And in the morning, then you shall see the glory of the Lord; for he that hears the murmurings against the Lord and what are we that you murmur against us?” “You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because the thorns have roses.” Ziggy During John F. Kennedy’s
Exodus 30:37-38: “And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the Lord. Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall be cut off from his people.” Can you dig this? You get cut off from
Exodus 23:19: “The first of the first fruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God, Thou shalt not seethe a yearling in his mother’s milk.” The word fruit is thrown around a lot. “By their fruits you shall known them…” We have the “fruits of the Spirit,” and the vine that
