In Exodus, God gave His people instructions on how to establish a holy priesthood too, a priesthood which would be an image, a shadow, of an even greater one to come. Today on Rooted Daily we look at the priesthood of the Old Testament and how it pointed forward to the priests of today.

Exodus 25:8 God commands Moses, “L et them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” That is the fourth commandment. God set apart the seventh day of the week as a day devoted to rest and a sign of the covenant given on Mt. Sinai.
