I think the exact same verse in the NT that you (bosk1) are referring to emphasizes melody in music (I can't recall the verse).
Even if it does...this doesn't.
I'm acting on the assumption that you can interpret some passages in light of others.

But why these?  Since what you are arguing simply isn't the point of the story?

You appear to be inventing connections where there are none.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I understand it's not the primary point of the story, but it's an interesting connection that makes you think.  When you look at what the whole Bible has to say about music, this verse shouldn't be discarded.

Yes it should, because this passage isn't saying anything about music.  It's saying something about idolatry.

Primarily yeah.  But music is involved.  From this passage we can glean the truth that music can be used for evil purposes.

From this passage we can glean the truth that music is an essential part of worship.  But worship should be reserved for God alone.

But the passage has NOTHING to do with what are the proper KINDS of music.

Hymns have more "rhythm" than all modern worship songs, although that really doesn't make any sense as ALL songs have rhythm. Besides, they wouldn't have been singing hymns then as the Psalms weren't written until years later and modern hymns as we know them today weren't written until at least the 1700's.

Back to the daily reading...

In today's selection, we get Moses speaking further with the Lord, and his request to see the Lord's glory, with the Lord acquiescing to a back view.  We then get the new tablets of the covenant, and more instruction from God, and the radiant face of Moses.  We then get more Sabbath regulations, and then an account of willing workers and artisans performing the tasks which had been laid out by the Lord.

And in today's reading, 36-38, we get still more detail about the Tabernacle etc.

BTW, whereas much of Exodus has seen the various documents of J, E, and P really interwoven by the Redactor (with a heavy dose of E), this entire ending section of the book is entirely P (which makes sense).

Exodus is almost done!  But Leviticus awaits...

yeah, me too.  I'll probably be a little behind until we hit the really short chapters in...uh...Psalms.  :|

Read about 30 chapters today.  About halfway through Exodus.  Almost caught up.  But for some reason Exodus is a much faster and interesting read than Genesis (at least up until Sinai).
