Today we hear of Bezalel making the outside articles for worship, like the altar for burnt offerings. There is a listing of materials used, and then we hear of the making of the priests' clothes— all according to how Moses was instructed by God. And
Moses inspects everything and blesses the people. The stage is set for the start of worship according to God's instructions.
Psalm 8 is quoted in Hebrews 1 and frequently misunderstood. “Son of man” does not refer to Jesus in this Psalm, and the NLT is correct in not using that term
here. (Try clicking the green verse numbers in the attached PDF if you would like to see commentary support for my statements.) This is a psalm of praise for the awesomeness of God, expressing amazement at the place of mankind in God's creation.
Today we hear of Jesus healing a favorite slave of a Roman officer and the raising of a widow's son from death. We break into the story where Jesus is speaking about John the Baptist.
