🎺 Exodus 29

Exodus 29 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, ““This is the thing that you shall do to them to make them holy, to minister to me in the priest’s office: take one young bull and two rams without defect,” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “You shall put all of this in Aaron’s hands, and in his sons’ hands, and shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.” Exodus 29 opens with these words: ““This is the thing that you shall do to them to make them holy, to minister to me in the priest’s office: take one young bull and two rams…” The line to keep is Exodus 29:45: “I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.” Carry the word “dwell” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Exodus 29:45: “I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Exodus 29? Then try this: Read “I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
