Moses builds the temple: The last chapters of Exodus.

One short observation on the end of Exodus: The nature of the offerings the Israelites gave in order to build the temple. Firstly, the were voluntary (Exodus 35: 5 - 9) and secondly they were told to stop giving when there was enough to finish the task (Exodus 36: 6 - 7). I had a quiet chuckle wondering when I had last heard of a church that asked people to stop giving!

Next stop: Leviticus. Oh boy.
