Offerings Without the Beg and Plead

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass, And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood, Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense, Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate. And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.-Exodus 25:1-9***When Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) was living in southern Mesopotamia, in Ur, the Lord God told Abraham to leave his country and kin and come into the land he would be shown. Abraham, his wife Sarah (Sarai), their father Terah, and nephew Lot left Mesopotamia and lived in Haran, in northern Mesopotamia, until 205-year-old Terah died. When Abraham, Sarah, and Lot were living in Canaan, the Lord God told Abraham he would give Canaan to Abraham's descendants and Abraham. Years thereafter, before any of Abraham's sons were conceived, Abraham was in a deep sleep and the Lord God told Abraham that Abraham's descendants would be afflicted in a foreign nation. The Lord God told Abraham that the descendants would come away from the nation with an abundance of valuable goods and live in Canaan. When Abraham was 86 years old, Ishmael was born to Abraham and Hagar, Sarah's maidservant. When Abraham was 100 years old, Isaac was born to Abraham and 90-year-old Sarah. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that after 127-year-old Sarah died, Abraham buried her body in a cave in Canaan. Three years after Sarah's death, 40-year-old Isaac married Rebekah, Abraham and Sarah's grandniece. When Isaac was 60 years old, fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel) were born to Isaac and Rebekah. Decades thereafter, Jacob was married to Rebekah's nieces Leah and Rachel, the daughters of Rebekah's brother Laban the Syrian (Aramean.) Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and daughter Dinah were born to Jacob and Leah. Dan and Naphtali were born to Jacob and Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant. Gad and Asher were born to Jacob and Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. Joseph and Benjamin were born to Jacob and Rachel. When Jacob was 130 years old, he moved with his family from Canaan to Egypt, the country wherein Joseph was second-in-command. After 147-year-old Jacob died in Egypt, his children buried his body in the cave in Canaan. Sometime after Joseph and his siblings were dead, their descendants the Israelites (Hebrews) were enslaved in Egypt. Miriam and her younger brothers Aaron and Moses were born into the tribe of Levi. When Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83, the Lord God sent them to speak to the Israelite elders and to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and bring the Israelites to the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants.  After the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague upon Pharaoh and Egypt, Pharaoh and the Egyptians wanted the Israelites to hurry and get out of Egypt. The Egyptians gave the Israelites a vast amount of valuable goods, and Moses and Aaron led the Israelites, and those with them, away from Egypt, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur. In the desert wilderness of Sinai, near the region of Mount Sinai, the Israelites freely gave the items requested, and Moses had to tell them not to bring more items. Thus, the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the mercy seat, and the table for the showbread and the gold items, and the lampstand and olive oil, and the tabernacle with the Most Holy Place and the veil, and the covering and walls of the tabernacle, and the altar of burnt offering, and the altar of incense and the holy incense, and the court of the tabernacle, and the laver, and the holy anointing oil, and the garments for Aaron and his sons the priests were made according to all that the Lord God described and showed to Moses when Moses was with the Lord God upon Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights. During the 40-year journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Miriam died and was buried in Kadesh, in the desert wilderness of Zin. Upon Mount Hor, 123-year-old Aaron died and was buried. When Moses went upon Mount Nebo, the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor, was from the tribe of Ephraim, descended from Joseph and his wife Asenath, and Joseph and Asenath's 2nd born son Ephraim, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own son. Joshua led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the Promised Land. Over 1,300 years after 110-year-old 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 Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 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, 6:1-8:4
