89. God speaks to Moses from the mercy seat














He offered
This phrase indicates an act of worship and devotion. The Hebrew root for "offered" is "qarab," which means to bring near or present. In the context of the Israelites, offerings were a way to draw near to God, symbolizing a heart of obedience and reverence. This act of offering is a reminder of the importance of giving to God as an expression of gratitude and acknowledgment of His sovereignty.

one silver dish
The silver dish represents wealth and value. Silver, in biblical times, was a precious metal often associated with redemption and purification. The dish's use in offerings signifies the offering of something valuable to God, reflecting the giver's heart and the desire to honor God with the best they have.

weighing a hundred and thirty shekels
The specific weight of the dish underscores the precision and care in the offerings made to God. The shekel was a standard unit of weight in ancient Israel, and its mention here highlights the importance of giving according to God's standards, not man's. It reminds believers of the need for integrity and exactness in their spiritual commitments.

and one silver bowl
Similar to the silver dish, the silver bowl also signifies value and dedication. The bowl, used in the context of offerings, symbolizes the vessel of one's life being offered to God. It is a call for believers to present themselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God.

weighing seventy shekels
Again, the specific weight emphasizes the importance of precision in offerings. The number seventy often symbolizes completeness or perfection in the Bible, suggesting that the offering is whole and complete, lacking nothing. It encourages believers to give fully and wholeheartedly to God.

both according to the sanctuary shekel
This phrase indicates that the offerings were measured by the standard of the sanctuary, which was the divine standard. It serves as a reminder that our offerings and lives should be measured by God's standards, not the world's. It calls for a life aligned with God's holiness and righteousness.

each filled with fine flour mixed with oil
Fine flour and oil were common elements in grain offerings, symbolizing sustenance and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The fine flour represents the purity and refinement of one's life, while the oil signifies the presence and work of the Holy Spirit. Together, they point to a life that is both pure and Spirit-filled, offered to God in service and worship.

as a grain offering
The grain offering was a voluntary act of worship, expressing thanksgiving and dedication to God. It was a way for the Israelites to acknowledge God's provision and blessings. For believers today, it is a call to live lives of gratitude, continually offering thanks and praise to God for His goodness and faithfulness.
