H. P. Mansfield Bible Notes — Leviticus 1. Verse-by-verse study of the burnt offering from herd, flock, or birds; the offerer’s identification with the animal; blood, atonement, washing, and the offering’s complete ascent to Yahweh.
H. P. Mansfield Bible Notes — Exodus 40. Verse-by-verse study of the tabernacle erected on the appointed day, its furnishings set in order, the priests washed and anointed, and the cloud and glory filling the dwelling. The completed sanctuary becomes the centre of Israel’s life and divine guidance.
H. P. Mansfield Bible Notes — Exodus 39. Verse-by-verse study of the completed priestly garments, ephod and breastplate, bells and pomegranates, the inscription “Holiness to Yahweh,” and Moses’ inspection and blessing of the finished work.
H. P. Mansfield Bible Notes — Exodus 38. Verse-by-verse study of the altar of burnt offering, laver made from the women’s mirrors, court, and careful accounting of the tabernacle metals. The chapter joins willing generosity with transparent stewardship.
H. P. Mansfield Bible Notes — Exodus 37. Verse-by-verse study of the ark, kapporeth and cherubim, table and vessels, golden lampstand, incense altar, holy oil and incense. The repeated construction follows the revealed pattern without alteration.
H. P. Mansfield Bible Notes — Exodus 36. Verse-by-verse study of the skilled workers, abundant freewill offerings, the tabernacle curtains and coverings, boards and bars, veil, and entrance screen. The chapter shows the revealed pattern being carried out faithfully in practice.
Sabbath before work • willing hearts • freewill gifts • skilled women and men • Bezalel and Oholiab
The covenant renewed • Yahweh proclaims His Name • mercy and righteousness • exclusive worship • restored feasts • Moses’ shining face
The threatened absence • the Tent outside the camp • Moses speaks face to face • “Shew me thy glory” • goodness, grace and mercy
The golden calf • the broken tablets • Aaron’s failure • Moses’ intercession • “Who is on Yahweh’s side?”
Exodus 32 interrupts the sanctuary revelation with deliberate irony. While Moses receives Yahweh’s pattern and the tablets on the mountain, Israel below demands a visible deity and constructs worship according to its own desire. The chapter contrasts Aaron’s self-protection with Moses’ repeated intercession. The attached English Word document contains the complete verse-by-verse study.
