Exodus: Over 13 Million Dollars Worth

Building the tabernacle and all the pieces were pricey and extravagant. Apparently, according to all the materials gathered by the israelites, the sum of everything they offered added up to a whopping 13 million dollars plus, but where did all the wealth and money come from? If you remember from a while back, when they escaped from Egypt, the egyptians had given them everything they had, scared that another plague would fall upon them.

Over thirteen million dollars? Thats insane. But it was all put towards building the tabernacle, the alter, the basin, as well as the courtyard. The tabernacle was always a place of holy worship, and the fact that so much was given towards it really proves how extravagant worship is meant to be.

Just as well Jesus was anointed at Bethany in Matthew 26:6-13, the woman used her expensive perfume and poured it on Jesus' head. That is true extravagant worship, and he deserves it.

Are we worshipping God so extravagantly?

Exalt the Lord our God    and worship at his footstool;    he is holy.
