exodus

 

chapter 25

So the war mongers are sitting around waiting for the next slaughter or another bunch of rules and the Lord Moses, high priest dictator of the huge Hebrew army, makes a request for gold, silver and a whole list of other precious products. To step up the luxury pace of Moses and his buddies.

“Make Me a fuckin’ sanctuary and a nice box so we can carry the rules around. You peasant slaves.”

Vs. 2: Tell the Israelite people to bring Me gifts; EQ.

Vs. 3: gold, sliver, and copper; blue, purple, and crimson yarns, fine linen, goats’ hair, tanned ram skins, and acadia wood; 6. Oil for lighting, spices for the anointing … EQ.

The list goes on.

Vs. 8: And let them make Me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them. EQ.

Vs. 10: They shall make an ark of acacia wood, … EQ.

Details can be found in the original if one cares to build it. A cubit is about half a meter.

Gold on everything.

Vs. 11: Overlay it with pure gold – overlay it inside and out – EQ.

Vs. 12: Cast four gold rings. EQ.

Vs. 13: poles … overlay them with gold; EQ.

Vs. 17: a cover of pure gold EQ.

Vs. 18: Make two cherubim of gold – EQ.

Symbols of angels, baby ones with duck wings, hammered out in Gold. Sounds much like what was forbidden not but a few chapters ago.

Vs. 23: … a table … 24. Overlay it with pure gold, and make a gold molding around it. EQ.

Vs. 26: Make four gold rings for it, EQ.

Vs. 28: … with gold EQ.

Vs. 29: … make them with pure gold. EQ.

Vs. 30: to be before Me always. EQ.

Vs. 31: You shall make a lamp stand of pure gold. EQ.

Vs 38: … fire pans of pure gold. EQ.

When we run out of Gold, we’ll plunder another City State.

Every Tyrant that presents himself as a liberator becomes a greedy demented dictator. Gold fever. The most destructive of all diseases.


chapter 26

vs. 1: As for the tabernacle. EQ.

Moses liked little angels stitched into his tent walls. And his tent was to be a grand event among the millions of Israelites with their modest tents.

Vs. 1: make these of fine twisted linen, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns. EQ.

For the walls: cloth about 14 meters by 2 meters.

Vs. 5: Five of the clothes shall be joined together. EQ.

Check original for details. About 10 by 10 meters, walls 14 meters high and the tent roof up from there. The ceiling with goats’ hair.

Vs. 14: And make for the tent a covering of tanned ram skins, and a covering of dolphin skins above. EQ.

That ain’t dolphin like what we get in our tuna nets. They don’t live in the desert.

Vs. 29: Overlay the planks with gold, and make their rings of gold, as holders for the bars, and overlay the bars with gold. EQ.

Vs. 33: so that the curtain shall serve you as a partition between the Holy and the Holy of Holies. EQ.

To be fair, for the Lord Moses, dictator over millions, the tent, though filled with gold and fine material, was not a palace. Just a really nice tent to show he was the Lord Moses. Lord of the wandering army of genocide and plunder soldiers and their families. And their slaves.

The future belonged to the greatest army. What now, mother killers.


chapter 27

I, your narrator, am convinced that most of the primates that hold this book for holy have spent very little time reading the bloody book. I find it embarrassing that my fellow humans are sold so easily an obvious brutal lie about a time in history, like now, where treacherous war rules the lives of all.

Living forever in terror of each other because megalomaniac War Lords want it so.

After we build the ark box and tabernacle, we build our War Lord inbred bastard a fuckin’ alter to go with it.

Vs. 1: You shall make the alter … EQ.

This is about two and a half square meters of adacia wood covered in copper. Copper to take the heat of the continual fire.

Vs. 2: Make its horns on four corners, EQ.

Again, images the Lord had forbidden. Cattle idolatry. The worship of cows.

Vs. 9: You shall make the enclosure of the Tabernacle: EQ.

This is 100 by 50 cubits. So about 50 by 25 meters. A garden bower for roasting meat on the copper alter.

Burnt offerings are not just religious ritual. They also feed the priest class. We’ll get to them straight away.

And when it’s built, the War Lords will need olive oil burning forever to honor them and their demented, infantile, murderous lies.

Have I offended anyone yet.

Moron.
