Today's reading was really boring! It was basically all of the details for how God's dwelling was to be built? Why did God need a dwelling, anyway? And why does Exodus repeat itself? I swear, I read the details of the dwelling like 3 times in to past 2 days!
A couple more questions while I'm at it:
1. Why does God only speak to Moses?
2. Why does God refer to Himself in the third person?
3. How come if the people looked at God, they would die? Was He like really really ugly or something?
I also noticed that, once again, God is shown to be very impulsive and lack self-control. When the Isrealites worshipped a gold calf, God wanted to destroy them (or something like that). But MOSES HAS TO TELL GOD TO THINK TWICE! Thank goodness God can at least listen!
