the laver and dressed in their priestly attire. Moses anointed them with oil, and they were ordained by God's power to be prie sts. This meant that th eir following generations were also to be priests. Everything was put in order. Bread was placed on th e table in the holy place. The seven lamps were lighted. Sweet incense was burned on the golden altar. A burnt offering and a meat offering were made at the large altar. (Exodus 40:17-33.) T he Israelites were accustomed to seeing the cloud move down from above Mt . Sinai and hover over the tent where Moses went to ta lk to God. Thi s time it moved down towa rd the middle of their camps, appea ring so close and large that some of the peop le fled to their tents. T hose who stayed to wat ch noticed that the cloud had a beautiful, sparkling Quality that exude d the feeling of vibrant life. Whi le awed millions watched, it floated down over the tabernacle. Moses, Aaron and his sons were still inside when t he luminous vap or settled down to impart a sensation of peace and energy Moses had experienced before . Rays of multicolored light moved through the vapor, becoming so intense the humans had to back out of the tabernacle to leave it to God to occupy.
CHA PTE R THIRTY-TWO THE LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD "GOD will allow you to ente r completely into His ta bernacle service only after you have spent seven days and nights in your dut ies at the door," Moses told Aaron and his sons. "Do exactly as you have been told, or you may have to pay with your lives." (Leviticus 8:1.4, 31-36.) A week lat er the elders were told to bring offerings for th e first services in use of the altar. All th e people were also told to be present. After the first carcasses were placed on the alta r, Moses, Aaron and his sons went out to stand before the people while Moses infor med the crowd that God was pleased with the offerings. A Fire from Israel's God Suddenly a hissing bolt of fire shot out of the tabernacle, arched upward enough to be seen from out side the curta ined fence, and struck the altar! The offering there was quickly consumed by an energy more like lightning th an ordinary flames . This close display of God's power so startled the people t hat th ey fell forward in awe. (Leviticus 9:22-24.) "T his is God's holy fire," Moses told Aaron. "Your sons should never allow it to die." (Leviticus 6:13.) "Twice a day live coals should be taken from th e altar and carrie d in a censer to the holy place to be sprinkled with incense at the golden alta r." (Exodus 30:1-9.) From th en on th e tabern acle was in constant use. Early each morning Aaron's sons came to carry out their preparation du ties. Then animals were slaught ered, dr essed an d offered for all Israel. T his was done again in the afternoo n, so that an offering was always on the alta r. (Levit icus 6:9, 12-13.) The unbl emished animals used for burnt offerings ty pified the Messiah who would later come to die for the sins of t he people instead of the people having to die.
