From Beginning to EndSample

This chapter is repetitive as the leader from each tribe of Israel brings a similar gift for the dedication of their new place of worship, which happens to be an elaborate tent. It’s a tent so it can move with the people as they are travelling.

Why would so much detail be provided in such an unvarying way? Perhaps it’s because God was pleased with each and every gift. If you give regularly to your church, it may not feel like God notices. This week’s offering looks like last week’s and next week will be the same, but God is worshipped and appreciates them all.
