Exodus 30: God's Design: Incense Altar & Bronze Basin

The Rev. Brandt Hoffman, pastor of Christ Lutheran Church and School in Coos Bay, OR, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Exodus 30.

God gives Moses detailed instructions for the construction of the altar of incense, which will go inside the tabernacle; the bronze basin just outside the tent; and rules concerning incense and anointing oil. It’s also in this section that God commands a census tax—atonement money, as it is written—of a half shekel to be contributed as an offering.

It’s the true story of God reaching down into history and, through an unlikely prophet, redeeming his chosen people from slavery. It’s the story of Exodus, but it’s also the story of us all. How through Christ, God has liberated us from sin, death, and the Devil. Don’t miss this chapter-by-chapter study of the Book of Exodus on Thy Strong Word.
