Exodus 24 - Offerings Made To Yahweh - Dr. Michael Heiser

Exodus 24 is the culmination of the Sinai scene that began in Exodus 19. The first eight verses detail the covenant ratification ceremony. Burnt offerings and, significantly, peace offerings of fellowship, are sacrificed by the Israelites to certify their relationship with Yahweh and role as a kingdom of priests in his service. The ceremony is unusual in comparison with other Israelite rituals because of the way the blood is handled, how it is applied to the people, and the role of the 12 pillars (standing stones) that were part of the ritual. This episode of the podcast (Part 1 of Exodus 24) discusses the covenant ceremony, its meaning, and its implications leading up to the communal meal with Yahweh (vv. 9-11) that will be the focus of Part 2. In part two of the podcast we look at the interpretive difficulties and implications of beholding the God of Israel and celebrating his presence with a meal. How can anyone see God and live? Does this meal with God have precedent? Does it foreshadow any New Testament events and themes? https://nakedbiblepodcast.com https://drmsh.com #michaelheiser #exodus #divinecouncil #biblestudy #nakedbiblepodcast ---------------- Help Support Us: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/VQEK7RM7WZYV6 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SeatForJesus Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aseatforjesus X: https://x.com/ASeatForJesus
