→ Watch on YouTube → Detailed Show Notes → Timestamps: (00:00) A brief overview of these chapters.(06:04) The Lord covenants to make Israel a peculiar treasure, a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. Time, pressure, and heat create jewels.(14:07) The cultural context of Exodus 19.15. Our doctrine is that intimacy and having children is holy and good within the bonds of marriage.(15:08) The greatness of the glory of God requires transfiguration for individuals to enter into his presence.(17:14) D&C 84 adds that Moses was preparing Israel for temple covenants to bring them into the presence of God.(20:13) The Lord reveals the Ten Commandments.(28:34) Rhymes to easily remember the Ten Commandments.(33:37) An example of a modern day set of Ten Commandments.(52:06) Additions to The Ten Commandments are found in chapters 21-23, The Covenant Code. There are conflicting messages in the Bible about slavery.(59:26) The Israelites accept the covenant and ratify it. The Joseph Smith Translation clarifies the ambiguity in the Bible about whether or not God can be seen.(1:02:55) As we are willing to receive light, we will receive more light.(1:07:32) The Tabernacle is planned. Elder Bednar encourages us to discuss the temple more often.(1:13:49) Symbols of Christ in The Tabernacle portray our journey back to our Heavenly Home.(1:19:56) Artisans furnish The Tabernacle. The Lord doesn’t give a commandment without preparing a way for it to be accomplished. The talents we posses are part of God’s divine plan.(1:23:46)The Sabbath Day is observed. We need to rest and be refreshed. (1:24:49) Aaron makes a golden calf for Israel to worship while Moses is on the mountain. The Levites enact violence against the apostates.(1:32:59) When the Kingdom of Israel splits around 921 BC, Jeroboam constructs golden calves in Dan and Bethel. The story of the golden calf may be a message to Israel casting Jeroboam as an apostate king, perhaps portraying a theological rift after the schism in Israel.(1:34:46) The bull (calf) was a symbol for God in the ancient Near East and represents strength and might. It may also be a representation of the pedestal or footstool of God.(1:37:38) The stone tablets are broken and the Israelites are given a lesser law. This may also help us see the Book of Mormon in a new light.(1:48:21) Moses represents the Savior Jesus Christ as he offers a prayer pleading for the Israelites. → For more of Bryce Dunford’s podcast classes, click here. → Enroll in Institute → YouTube → Apple Podcasts → Spotify → Amazon Music → Facebook The post Ep 368 | Exodus 19-20; 24; 31-34, Come Follow Me 2026 (April 20-26) appeared first on LDS Scripture Teachings.
