“God’s peace is incomprehensible”========================

Do you remember that there was an inner room in the Tabernacle where Moses put the Ark and where God came in a cloud above the mercy seat? That room was the most holy part of the Tabernacle; it was called the Holy of Holies. The Lord told Moses that no one but Aaron, the High Priest, could ever go there only once every year, very carefully.

Before going he bathed thoroughly, He took off his splendid High Priest’s robe and put on plainer clothing of pure white linen, for he must go in Humbly before the Lord. Before going in, he offered up sacrifices for his own sins and for the sins of all the people. He took the blood of those sacrifices with him into this most holy place and sprinkled it with his finger on the mercy seat and in front of it; there Aaron prayed that the Lord would forgive him and all the people.

What did it mean when the High Priest did these things? He was showing what the Savior{Jesus} would do for all who trust in Him. For the High Priest went into the most holy place on earth to pray for the people; the Savior [Jesus] after He was crucified, went up to Heaven to pray for us. The High Priest asked God to forgive the people because animals had been sacrificed for them. The Savior asks God to forgive us because he died for us. Aaron is dead and cannot ask God to forgive us, but the Savior is alive in Heaven and is there every day asking God to forgive us.

On the day when Aaron went into the most holy place the people were not allowed to work, but spent the time thinking about their sins and being very, very sorry for them. Anyone who did not do this was punished; for that day was the most solemn day of all the year. It was called the day of Atonement.

God said that when the people of Israel arrived in the Promise Land and went out into their fields to cut their grain and bring it into their barns, they must never bring quite all of it, but must leave a little. And when the grapes became ripe, they must not pick every grape, but must leave some for the poor who had no fields or vineyards of their own. The poor could come and gather what was left.

The Lord told the people of Israel never to steal or lie to each other. And when a man had been working for them, they should not tell him to wait a while to be paid; they should pay him right away.

If a person is deaf, people must not talk against him just because he couldn’t hear them; if he was blind, they must not put things in his way to make him stumble and fall. If anyone knew something bad about someone else, he must not go and tell everyone about it; he must not be a gossip.

And the Israelis were not to hate each other, but to love each other. If one of them saw another doing wrong, he must tell him or her kindly not to do it anymore. Then he might repent of his or her sin.

When people from other country’s came to live among them, the Israelis were not to treat them unjustly nor steal their things. They must be as kind to them and love them as much as though they had always lived with them and were their own people.

The nations living in the Promised Land of Canaan where the Israelis were going worshipped a huge idol named Molech.

This idol with the face of a calf, was made of bronze and was hollow, so that a fire could be lighted inside of it like a furnace. After it was heated very hot, those wicked people would put their little children into the idols arms and there the babies burned to death; the people beat drums while the babies were burning, to keep from hearing their screams. They burned their children in this way because they thought it pleased the idol; they called it giving their children to Molech.

God told Moses to kill any of the Israelis who gave their children to Molech. If the people refused to kill a man who did that, pretending not to know what he had done, God said that He Himself would punish the people for not punishing that man.
