Exodus 12
The Israelites must kill a sheep and eat it, they will celebrate God’s Passover, they will put the blood at the door entrance so it will be a sign not to kill the firstborn who in inside the house. For seven days the Israelites will eat unleavened bread. Those who eat leavened bread will be killed. It will be the festival of Unleavened Bread. Then God strikes the Egyptians and finally Pharaoh sends the Israelites away.

Exodus 16
Then the Israelites move to another place in the wilderness and the Israelites start to complain against Moses and Aaron because they have nothing to eat. So God brings bread from the heavens. But they must take only what they need daily and the sixth day they must take the double quantity. Bread in the morning and meat in the evening (quail and dew). But the Israelites don’t listen, they keep more and in the morning it stinks. So the seventh day they would rest because it was Sabbath. And they call the bread “manna”. And the Israelites eat the manna for 40 years.

Exodus 18
Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law and Moses’ sons and his wife come to Moses in the wilderness. And Moses tells Jethro everything from the time he left him to go back to Egypt and all the hardships and how God saves them. On the next day, Moses sits down to judge the Israelites from morning until evening. But Jethro tells him it is not good because it is too much work. He tells him to select capable men fearing God who should judge the people so Moses can concentrate on the most difficult cases. Thus, it will be easier for Moses and everybody will be satisfied. After that, Jethro goes back to his land.

Exodus 21
God keeps speaking. A Hebrew slave can only serve for six years then he is free again and he must go with his wife and children. If a man strikes another one and he dies or kills someone or kidnaps someone or curse his father or mother then he must die. Then we are told of compensation when someone is injured but doesn’t die. God’s Law is precise with many details.

Exodus 22
We are told about compensation in case of stealing or starting a fire or an animal which dies or seducing a virgin. A sorceress must die, same for someone having intercourse with an animal, same for someone making a sacrifice to a false god. Foreign residents mustn’t been mistreated, same for a widow or a fatherless child. There mustn’t be moneylender. The Israelites must give their firstborn to God. They must not curse God or any chieftain among them. They mustn’t eat any animal killed by a wild animal. So God was organizing every aspect of the Israelites’ lives. Nothing was left without control. When we read the Israelites’ history in the Bible, we understand perfectly. Animal wildlife is well organized but with men it’s not the case, they have brains but they can’t prevent themselves to go to any direction, that’ s why we are nowhere, thinking of a plan B instead of taking of our earth, always looking for pipe dreams instead of making things right.

Exodus 23
The Israelites must speak the truth and not pervert justice and show impartiality and help people even if they are bad. They must cultivate their land for six years but not the seventh year so the poor and the wild animals may eat. They must work six days and the seventh they must rest. It must be so for animals and slaves and foreign residents. They must do as God tells them and not follow other Gods. And we know they did the contrary and paid the price. They must celebrate three festivals a year. They must bring the best of their harvest to God. If they follow God he will protect them from their enemies. They must not only go away from other gods they must also destroy everything in relation with false gods. And people will fear them because of God. And they will possess the promised land.

Exodus 26
More information concerning the tabernacle and its tent. Every detail is mentioned. Thus we see that God is a God of order, organizing everything, there is no place for disorder. And we are supposed to be made at the image of God but we are just an imitation. When human beings get back to perfection, will they be able to really look like him? Only those who will be able to live at this time will be able to know it! But there will be a long way to go before reaching such a condition! Our imperfection is so boring!

Exodus 29
Here is the sanctification of Aaron and his sons as priests of God and once again everything is well organized with many details. And there is no room for improvisation. As usual God appears as a god of order. And it is really impressive as it is so different from what human beings do. What a privilege to work for such a creator who is the origin of perfection and how boring it is to work for human beings. There will be so much to learn from him in the future in connection with his Kingdom.

Exodus 30
God gives all the details to make an altar as a place for burning incense. Aaron will burnt perfumed incense on it each morning and not anything else, only authorized incense. When there is a census on the sons of Israel they must give a ransom for their lives so that no plague may be brought upon them as a contribution to God, the same amount for the rich or the poor. They will make a copper basin so Aaron and his sons will wash their hands and their feet there before their service so that they do not die. Then Moses will anoint the tent of meeting and the ark of testimony and all the religious utensils with a holy anointing oil. This holy anointing oil will only be for religious service not for anything else otherwise people will die. People should read a bit more the Old Testament to really know who is God and to take him seriously and to be able to do according to God’s will if they want to please him. It is not a game or like going to the restaurant. People can’t do whatever they want but what God wants! We can remember Job and Daniel and Samuel to follow their examples and we can also remember the kings of Judah and Israel who are examples not to follow. There is a difference between being warm or cold or lukewarm! It is only possible to be warm if we want to please God! The Israelites were mostly cold or lukewarm and they paid the price for such a condition! When we read the Bible we know the conditions! It is a personal choice, no one else to blame!

Exodus 32
Moses doesn’t come back from mount Sinai. So the Israelites ask Aaron to make a god for them so he asks for gold to make a golden calf. And the Israelites call the golden calf the god that led them up out of Egypt. What a people! The Israelites have always been equal to them that is unfaithful and right at the beginning! Is it possible to be worse? I doubt it! And aarin is definitely afraid of them! And gos is furious and tells Moses everything. God calls them obstinate! And he wants to exterminate them straight away and makes a great nation from Moses. So Moses calms God down and tells him about what the Egyptians will say about him. And he tells God to remember Abraham and Isaac and Israel; So Moses goes down with the two tablets of the Testimony. Moses is furious when he sees the Israelites dancing and the golden calf. And Moses breaks the two tablets written by God. And he destroys the golden calf and reduces it into powder. And he puts it into water and makes the Israelites drink it. And he turns to Aaron and tells him about what he did and Aaron says the Israelites are responsible. And Moses ask them to choose their camp and the Levites choose God’s camp. And Moses tells them to kill people and they kill 3,000 people. So Moses goes back to God and asks him for forgiveness. If god doesn’t want to forgive the Israelites he asks God to wipe him out of his book. And God strikes the Israelites. Moses is just an incredible man: he calmed down God while he was in such a anger after what the Israelites had done. And he didn’t fear them! He reminds me of Job who tells sincerelyGod about his feelings and his pain!
