This week we read Parasha Ki Tisa, Exodus 30:11-34:35, which opens with the discussion of the half shekel offering to be made to the Tabernacle for every male aged 20 and over. This offering is a type of atonement and was the same value given no matter how rich or poor someone may be, representative of all Israel being equal.
We then see the description of the basin for the priesthood to wash their hands and feet during their ministry service in the Tabernacle. This is followed by the detailed description of the holy anointing oil that would be used in the Mishkan and is not to be used for any circumstances outside the Tabernacle/Temple.
Exouds 31 leads us to the discussion of Bezalel and Oholiab who have specific gifts and skills which would be used in the building of the Mishkan and who are filled with the Ruach HaKodesh to serve the Lord in this role. Next we see a discussion of the mitzvah for all Israel to be Shomer Shabbat and it is from this passage that we get the liturgical prayer V’Shamru. The chapter is closed out with HaShem giving Moses the Luchot HaEdut, the Tablets of the Testimony which contained the Asheret HaDibrot written by the very finger of HaShem.
In chapter 23 we see Israel complain that Moses was on the mountain too long and they have no clue if he is still alive or not. So they convince Aaron to build them the Egel HaZahav, Golden Calf, to be their god and an altar to sacrifice to it and then they begin to worship the idol in a very terrible scene of debauchery. Adonai tells Moses to go down and deal with these people that Moses brought out of Egypt because they have turn aside from the ways of God and turned to idolatry. Adonai says he wants to wipe them all out start fresh with making a nation from Moses, and Moses’ immediate reaction to to intercede for Israel before the Lord, even before he has actually scene how bad they have fallen.
Then he comes down the mountain and this horrendous scene before him. He smashes the Tablets out of anger and disappointment then he burns the Golden Calf in fire and grinds it to powder, spreads it across the sea, and makes Israel drink it. He asks Aaron how in the world he let all this happen and he gives a bogus excuse… 3000 of Israel die that day because of the sin of the Egel HaZahav…
In chapter 33 we see more of Moses interceding for Israel, more so this time because Adonai has said he will let Israel live but that He cannot allow His Shechinah to go with them. So Moses beseeches the Lord to not just send an angel to lead Israel but that the Presence of the Lord continue to lead Israel because it is the Presence of the Living God that differentiates Israel from all the other nations of the earth. He then begs to see the Glory of God and is hidden in the cleft of the rock and allowed to see Adonai’s back in passing.
Chapter 34 opens with Moses being instructed to carve two new tablets like the first for the rewriting of the Covenant upon them to replace the ones Moses destroyed when he saw the Egel HaZahav. Then we see the 13 Attributes of God described. Parasha Ki Tisa is closed out with a series of mitzvot reminding Israel to remain faithful to Hashem alone, including reiteration of the command to be Shomer Shabbat, of keeping Pesach and Shavuot, and then we read of Moses’ face radiating from the Shechinah whenever he came down from the Mountain again and would come and go from the Tent of Meeting.

Parasha Ki Tisa
1 Then Adonai spoke to Moses saying,
2 “See, I have called by name Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, understanding and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,
4 to make ingenious designs, to forge with gold, silver and bronze,
5 as well as cutting stones for setting and carving wood, to work in all manner of craftsmanship.
6 Also look, I Myself have appointed with him Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. Within the hearts of all who are wise-hearted I have placed skill, so that they may make everything that I have commanded you:
7 the Tent of Meeting, the Ark of the Testimony, the atonement cover that is to be on it, all the furnishings of the Tabernacle,
8 the table and its utensils, the menorah of pure gold with all of its utensils, the altar of incense,
9 the altar of burnt offering with all of its utensils, the basin and its stand,
10 the woven garments, the holy garments for Aaron the kohen, the garments for his sons to minister as kohanim,
11 the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place. They are to make them just as how I commanded you.”

After this we see the account of the Egel HaZahav (golden calf) before Israel ever gets around to building the Tabernacle…
34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of Adonai filled the Tabernacle.
35 Moses was unable to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud resided there and the glory of Adonai filled the Tabernacle.
36 Now whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tabernacle, Bnei-Yisrael went onward, throughout all their journeys.
37 But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not move out until the day that it was.
38 For the cloud of Adonai was on the Tabernacle by day and a fire was there by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.

4 Now while staying with them, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father promised—which, He said, “you heard from Me.
5 For John immersed with water, but you will be immersed in the Ruach ha-Kodesh not many days from now.”
6 So when they gathered together, they asked Him, “Lord, are You restoring the kingdom to Israel at this time?”
7 He said to them, “It is not your place to know the times or seasons which the Father has placed under His own control.
8 But you will receive power when the Ruach ha-Kodesh has come upon you; and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and through all Judah, and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

1 When the day of Shavuot had come, they were all together in one place.
2 Suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 And tongues like fire spreading out appeared to them and settled on each one of them.
4 They were all filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh and began to speak in other tongues as the Ruach enabled them to speak out.
Parasha Ki Tisa
In after the outpouring of the Ruach Peter preaches to the crowd who witnessed the events in Jerusalem
He quotes from Joel 2:28-32…
Which says
17 ‘And it shall be in the last days,’ says God, ‘that I will pour out My Ruach on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My slaves, male and female, I will pour out My Ruach in those days, and they shall prophesy.
21 And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of Adonai shall be saved.’

37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the rest of the emissaries, “Fellow brethren, what shall we do?”
38 Peter said to them, “Repent, and let each of you be immersed in the name of Messiah Yeshua for the removal of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
39 For the promise is for you and your children, and for all who are far away—as many as Adonai our God calls to Himself.”
40 With many other words he warned them and kept urging them, saying, “Save yourselves from this twisted generation!”
41 So those who received his message were immersed, and that day about three thousand souls were added.
Acts 2 closes with the believing community gathering regularly to hear the Sh’lichim teach, to fellowship, breaking bread, and in prayer, continuing day by day in one mind and one accord.
And daily there were those being added to their number that were being saved and being filled with the Ruach

4 As you come to Him, a living stone rejected by men but chosen by God and precious,
5 you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house—a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Messiah Yeshua.
Parasha Ki Tisa
19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household.
20 You have been built on the foundation made up of the emissaries and prophets, with Messiah Yeshua Himself being the cornerstone.
21 In Him the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple for the Lord.
22 In Him, you also are being built together into God’s dwelling place in the Ruach.
