The Lord God Himself

This was the dedication of the altar, in the day when it was anointed, by the princes of Israel: twelve chargers of silver, twelve silver bowls, twelve spoons of gold: Each charger of silver weighing an hundred and thirty shekels, each bowl seventy: all the silver vessels weighed two thousand and four hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: The golden spoons were twelve, full of incense, weighing ten shekels apiece, after the shekel of the sanctuary: all the gold of the spoons was an hundred and twenty shekels. All the oxen for the burnt offering were twelve bullocks, the rams twelve, the lambs of the first year twelve, with their meat offering: and the kids of the goats for sin offering twelve. And all the oxen for the sacrifice of the peace offerings were twenty and four bullocks, the rams sixty, the he goats sixty, the lambs of the first year sixty. This was the dedication of the altar, after that it was anointed. And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and he spake unto him.-Numbers 7:84-89***When Moses was upon Mount Sinai with the Lord God for 40 days and nights, the Lord God described and showed to Moses everything for making the tabernacle, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord and the mercy seat, and the other sacred items necessary for the priests to use in worshiping and offering sacrifices to the Lord God. The Lord God told Moses the names of those he had chosen and given the wisdom necessary to make the sacred items, and the Lord God told Moses to ask for offerings and skillful volunteers from among the Israelites. The Israelites made and brought so many items to the workers that the workers spoke to Moses and Moses told the Israelites not to make any more items for the workers. After the tabernacle, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the other items were set in place and anointed, leaders from the Israelite tribes brought an offering of carts and oxen, which were given to the Levites, Israelites from the tribe of Levi, for use at the tabernacle. For the altar dedication, each leader was to bring another offering, according to the command of the Lord God. When Moses went into the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, sometime after the dedication offerings were received, Moses heard the voice of the Lord God. Forty years after Moses and his older brother Aaron led the Israelites, and those with them, away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur, Aaron died and was buried upon Mount Hor, and Moses went upon Mount Nebo. The Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. Over 1,300 years after Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus 1:1-10:20, Numbers 1:1-7:89, 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

Reference Scriptures:
And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.-Exodus 25:21-22
