Exodus 39 opens with these words: “Of the blue, purple, and scarlet, they made finely worked garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for…” The line to keep is Exodus 39:6: “They worked the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel.” Carry the word “worked” from that verse into the rest of the day.
Exodus 39 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Of the blue, purple, and scarlet, they made finely worked garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as Yahweh commanded Moses.” 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, “He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.” Exodus 39 opens with these words: “Of the blue, purple, and scarlet, they made finely worked garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for…” The line to keep is Exodus 39:6: “They worked the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel.” Carry the word “worked” from that verse into the rest of the day.
The line worth learning out loud is Exodus 39:6: “They worked the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.
What happens first in Exodus 39? Then try this: Read “They worked the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet,…” once more.
