A remembering of God taking Israel out of Egypt, there are 2 the main one and another one a month later if you were defiled by a dead body.
What is the Shehkinah? Why do we watch the Shehkinah?
It is the Cload by day and fire by night the represents the pressence of God. When it rests we stay and when it rises we go.
Activity - Spirit Lead
Kids are scattered all over the house and with their eyes closed they are lead from where they are to the tabernacle.
What are the Two trumpets? What are they for?
They are two trumpets of Silver. They are to be blown for four reasons, to assemble the congregation, to assemble the princes, to alarm and move the people, in the days of your gladness, holy days, and the beginnings of your months.
Activity Sound of the Trumpets
People divided up all around Tabernacle according to their tribes. Choose a few to be elders. When two shofars are blown all come to door of Tabernacle. When one is blown only the princes gather. When a alarm is blown the east parts go, then on the second alarm the south and so on.
Who complained about the food? Who complained about Moshe? What was the result?
The children of Israel, Miryam and Aharon, some of the children of Israel complained about only having Manna so God gave them quails but it was a curse to them and they died, Miryam and Aharon complained about Moshe and God made Miryam a leper for seven days. This teaches us we should not complain.
