Status Updates From ESV Scripture Journal: Exodus

it’s so good

Chapter 9

I now better understand why the last handful of chapters were skipped: they are sorta redundant. Mostly Moses being given instructions by God. Where these last chapters are describe those instructions having been enacted. That makes good enough sense.

And thus I finish Exodus, finally. Will probably work through Leviticus rather quickly again, not least to avoid repetitive tedium lol

I see why my reading guide skipped over chapters 21-23 & 25-30; it was all the real technical law stuff and then the details for the Tabernacle and ark of the covenant basically

I forgot that Exodus had any of the mindnumbing stuff in it to be honest. I do remember Leviticus and Numbers being a lot though.

Study Guide I'm working with called for chapters 19-20, 24, and 31-34 specifically today, which gets me around 60% through. (I'll get to the skipped chapters in my own time either later today or tomorrow.)

Centralized around the 10 commandments and the introduction of the holiness of the Sabbath, there's a lot to read into here, and I recall also makes for lots of tedious details elsewise haha.
