The Third and Fourth Days for the Offerings of Dedication

​The Third and Fourth Days for the Offerings of Dedication

On the third day, Eliab, son of Helon, leader of the tribe of Zebulun, presented his offering. 

His offering consisted of a silver platter, weighing 3¼ pounds, and a silver basin, weighing 1¾ pounds (as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel). 

These were both filled with grain offerings, of choice flour, moistened with olive oil. 

He also brought a gold container, weighing four ounces, which was filled with incense. 

He brought a young bull, a ram, and a one-year-old male lamb, for a burnt offering, …and a male goat, for a sin offering. 

For a peace offering, he brought two bulls, five rams, five male goats, and five one-year-old male lambs. 

This was the offering brought, by Eliab, son of Helon. 

On the fourth day Elizur, son of Shedeur, leader of the tribe of Reuben, presented his offering. 

His offering consisted of a silver platter, weighing 3¼ pounds, and a silver basin, weighing 1¾ pounds (as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel). 

These were both filled with grain offerings, of choice flour, moistened with olive oil. 

He also brought a gold container, weighing four ounces, which was filled with incense. 

He brought a young bull, a ram, and a one-year-old male lamb, for a burnt offering, and a male goat, for a sin offering. 

For a peace offering, he brought two bulls, five rams, five male goats, and five one-year-old male lambs. 

This was the offering brought, by Elizur, son of Shedeur.

1122 - Job Asks God How He Has Sinned

Job Asks God How He Has Sinned “O God, grant me these two things, …and then I will be able to face you. Remove Your heavy hand from me, and don’t terrify me with Your awesome presence. Now summon me, and I will answer! Or let me speak to You, and You reply. Tell me, what have I done wrong? Show me my rebellion, and my sin. Why do You turn away from me? Why do you treat me as Your enemy? Would You terrify a leaf blown by the wind? Would You chase dry straw? “You write bitter accusations against me, and bring up all the sins, of my youth. You put my feet in stocks. You examine all my paths. You trace all my footprints. I waste away like rotting wood, like a moth-eaten coat.   “How frail is humanity! How short is life, how full of trouble! We blossom like a flower, and then wither. Like a passing shadow, we quickly disappear. Must You keep an eye on such a frail creature, and demand an accounting from me? Who can bring purity …out of an impure person? No one! You have decided the leng...

1251 - Psalm 102 (part-1)

Psalm 102 (part-1) A prayer of one overwhelmed with trouble, pouring out problems before the Lord. Lord, hear my prayer! Listen to my plea! Don’t turn away from me, in my time of distress. Bend down to listen, and answer me quickly when I call to you. For my days disappear like smoke, and my bones burn like red-hot coals. My heart is sick, withered like grass, and I have lost my appetite. Because of my groaning, I am reduced to skin and bones. I am like an owl in the desert, like a little owl in a far-off wilderness. I lie awake, lonely as a solitary bird on the roof. My enemies taunt me day after day. They mock and curse me. I eat ashes for food. My tears run down into my drink, because of your anger and wrath. For you have picked me up and thrown me out. My life passes as swiftly as the evening shadows. I am withering away like grass. But you, O Lord, will sit on your throne forever. Your fame will endure to every generation. You will arise and have mercy on Jerusalem*—and now is the...

1206 - Psalm 52 and 53

Psalm 52 and 53 Psalm 52 These are the directions for the choir director:  This is a psalm of David, from the time Doeg, the Edomite, said to Saul,  “David has gone to see Ahimelech.” Why do you boast about your crimes, great warrior? Don’t you realize God’s justice continues forever? All day long, you plot destruction. Your tongue cuts like a sharp razor; …you are an expert at telling lies. You love evil, more than good… and lies, more than truth. Interlude is You love to destroy others with your words, …you liar! But God will strike you down, once and for all. He will pull you from your home and uproot you from the land of the living. Interlude The righteous will see it and be amazed. They will laugh and say, “Look at what happens to mighty warriors, ….when they do not trust in God. They trust their wealth, instead of God, and they grow more and more bold in their wickedness.” But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God. I will always trust in God’s unfailing l...
