Day 114: Detailed Instructions for Priestly Garments and Ordination - Immerse Bible Reading Experience

In today's episode of 'Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience,' we delve into Day 114, which focuses on intricate instructions for the making of sacred garments for Aaron and his sons, who are to serve as priests. These garments include a chest piece, an ephod, a robe, a patterned tunic, a turban, and a sash, all made with fine linen, gold thread, and blue, purple, and scarlet threads. The script provides detailed guidelines on materials and craftsmanship, including the use of onyx stones engraved with the names of the tribes of Israel. Additionally, the episode outlines the ordination ceremony, including the sacrifice of a young bull and two rams, the anointing with oil, and the burning of specific parts of the offerings. These steps consecrate Aaron and his sons for their priestly duties. Join us as we explore the significance of these rituals and how they set the foundation for the priesthood in Israel.

QUICK START GUIDE
3 ways to get the most out of your experience

1. Use Immerse: Beginnings instead of your regular chapter and verse Bible. This special reader’s edition restores the Bible to its natural simplicity and beauty by removing chapter and verse numbers and other historical additions. Letters look like letters, songs look like songs, and the original literary structures are visible in each book.
2. Commit to making this a community experience. Immerse is designed for groups to encounter large portions of the Bible together
   for 8 weeks–more like a book club, less like a Bible study. By meeting every week in small groups and discussing what you read in open,
   honest conversations, you and your community can come together to be transformed through an authentic experience with the Scriptures.
3. Aim to understand the big story. Read through “The Stories and the Story” (p. 483) to see how the books of the Bible work together to tell God’s story of his creation’s restoration. As you read through Immerse: Beginnings, rather than ask, “How do I fit God into my busy life?” begin asking, “How can I join in God’s great plan by living out my part in his story?”
