Bible Study for Atheists: Exodus Chapters 35 - 36

Husband and Wife cover

Exodus chapter 35:

Regulations for the Sabbath / Israel to Bring an Offering / The Tabernacle Articles / The People Bring the Offering / The Call of Bezaleel and Aholiab;

and

Exodus chapter 36:

Moses Restrains the People from Bringing Gifts / The Making of the Tabernacle.

We question how much gold the people had left to donate after that whole golden calf debacle; how moved they actually were to make donations when the penalty was probably death; whether too many donations is a bad thing; why people always gotta be mowing their lawns; and how to get our hands on a pair of some dope- Satan kicks.

In Exodus chapters 35 and 36, we read about the construction of the Tabernacle, a portable sanctuary that the Israelites would use to worship God during their journey in the wilderness. The Bible describes in detail the materials and measurements that were used for the Tabernacle, as well as the specific tasks that were assigned to different groups of people.

From an atheist perspective, these chapters can be interpreted as a reflection of the ancient Israelites' beliefs and practices. The Tabernacle was a physical representation of their faith in God, and the detailed instructions for its construction suggest that it was an important part of their religious life. However, there is no evidence to suggest that the Tabernacle actually existed, and it is likely that these chapters are simply a literary account of the Israelites' beliefs.

The Bible is a collection of ancient texts that has been interpreted in many different ways over the centuries. There is no one definitive interpretation of Exodus chapters 35 and 36, and atheists are free to interpret them however they see fit. Some atheists may view these chapters as a historical record of the Israelites' beliefs and practices, while others may see them as a work of fiction or mythology. Ultimately, the meaning of these chapters is up to the individual reader to decide.

• The Bible is not a reliable historical document. There is no archaeological evidence to support the existence of the Tabernacle, and the events described in these chapters may have been exaggerated or fabricated.
• The Bible is a product of its time. The beliefs and practices described in these chapters reflect the ancient Israelites' understanding of the world, which was very different from our own.
• The Bible is open to interpretation. There is no one right way to understand these chapters, and atheists are free to interpret them however they see fit.
