Reading for July 25th

Read Exodus 24.1-18
In 24.1-18: the Lord, Moses and the people formally enter into a covenant relationship.
In verse 1: Nadab and Abihu are two sons of Aaron who serve as priests (see 6.23).
In verses 6-8: The altar represents God's presence (v. 6).
Sprinkling blood on the altar and then the people signifies their binding together in relationship.
The book of the covenant is presumably some form of the laws and commandments in chs. 20-23.
In verse 9: On Nadab and Abihu, see comment on v. 1.
In verse 14: Hur is a leader from the Israelite tribe of Judah (17.10; 31.2).
