Yesterday, it was all about the very specific details of the altar. Today, there’s an entire chapter on the garments, and if you get it wrong, you will surely die. the next chapter is the details of how and when to sacrifice, and what to do with the blood: tip of the right ear, tip of the right thumb, and tip of the right big toe. This is getting pretty crazy. I feel like we’re getting into Scientology territory.

In fact, reading these two chapters is like reading about an obsessive-compulsive child. I can just imagine the tantrums that The Lord must throw when he doesn’t get his way exactly. Actually, I don’t need to imagine. Pillar of salt. Rain of fire. Worldwide flood.

Tomorrow: Exodus 30-32
