Exodus 35–40; Leviticus 1; 4; 16; 19

Overview

The Lord commanded the Israelites to build a portable tabernacle, or temple, in the wilderness. As part of their worship in the tabernacle, the Israelites performed animal sacrifices. Both the tabernacle and the ordinance of sacrifice symbolically taught about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

Prepare to teach

The following information provides you with ideas of what you may need to prepare in advance for each lesson.

Exodus 25; 35–40

Lesson purpose: To help students feel an increased desire to worship the Lord in His temple.

Student preparation: Consider inviting students to use the Gospel Library or temples.ChurchofJesusChrist.org to find pictures of temples or videos related to the temple. Ask students to think about how they feel about the Lord’s temple. Invite them to consider how modern-day temples help them remember Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

Videos: “The Tabernacle” (7:18); “Welcome to the Washington D.C. Temple” (11:46)
Content to display: Using tape or string, re-create on the classroom floor the diagram of the ancient tabernacle from the handout in the lesson

Leviticus, Part 1

Lesson purpose: To help students feel gratitude for Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice.

Student preparation: Invite students to ponder advice they would give someone who is struggling to understand what Jesus Christ has done for them. You could also invite students to ask a family member or friend what advice they would give.

Leviticus, Part 2

Lesson purpose: To help students recognize sacrifices they can make to become more like Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

Student preparation: Invite students to do something that they feel would be a good sacrifice for the Lord. Some examples might include paying tithing or fast offerings, sacrificing time to help someone in need, or sacrificing a few extra minutes of sleep to study the scriptures. Invite students to reflect on how this sacrifice affects their relationship with the Lord.

Assess Your Learning 3

Lesson purpose: To help students reflect on the goals they have set and the growth they have experienced during their recent study of the Old Testament.

Student preparation: Invite students to come ready to share what they have learned or ways they have grown spiritually as they have studied the Old Testament this year. You might suggest that they review their study journals or notes in their scriptures to help them notice their growth and learning.
