Exodus Books 13-40

These pages are extremely repetitive. I'm sorry to say that I could not enjoy the reading in the least bit. 4 cubits for this and 10 cubits for that. I understand the fact that God was precise in his instruction but, what sort of message is delivered here? What sort of lesson can be drawn from simple instructions and measurements.
The important parts, however, are really interesting. The fact that the Jews are basically given their laws in the middle of the desert is interesting. All the punishments and laws that would later be part of Israel are shown in these chapters. Additionally, it is incredible that a lot of these things have lasted until today. I still do the Passover feast, I know people who do literally NOTHING on Saturdays because of Shabbat, and the 10 commandments are still used today as well.
