Over the last few weeks my Bible in a Year readings have taken me from Exodus to Leviticus where the people of Israel make and sanctify the Tabernacle - not the most interesting of readings. Suddenly I got a feeling that something I was reading didn't add up but it has taken me a while to work out what.
In Exodus we have the Israelites complaining that they don't have anything to eat and, when God gives them manna that they don't have any meat. God does hear their prayer and sends the a flock of quails but, we are told, for the rest of the 40 years they were in the wilderness they only ate manna. Fast forward to Leviticus and God instructs Moses to build the Tabernacle and to consecrate bot it and Aaron and his sons as priests. How does he consecrate them? By sacrificing bulls and lambs! As I said in the Title "Where Did They Come From?"
