- No One Can See God and Live… Except These 74 Guys

This week, we're finally reading a chapter verse by verse, and Exodus 24 does not make it easy: in just 18 verses, Moses climbs a mountain, wanders off to write everything down and splash the people with blood, climbs again, and somehow keeps finding more mountain.

Along the way, seventy-four people look straight at the God of Israel (feet, sapphire pavement, and all) nine chapters before God insists no one can see him and live, and the seams between the chapter's multiple sources start showing.

Then, we lay out the timeline behind all those terms Dan M keeps throwing around, like "Late Bronze," "Iron Age," and "post-exilic," starting with the Bronze Age collapse and the moment a people called Israel first shows up in the record.
