Let’s open Exodus with excitement; it’s time to go on a journey. As you turn to the 6th chapter, and that’s where we’re going to begin this evening, I want you to think about the backside of the desert, Moses. Imagine him, after 40 years of herding goats and sheep. Now I’ve never raised sheep, but I did raise goats. Goats smell terribly.
They, politely speaking, don’t take showers, and they really smell awful. People who raise these animals smell like them after being around them so much. The Middle Eastern shepherd, actually at the sheepfold’s doorway, would sleep there so that no one could come in or go out without him knowing. The rustling would wake him up.
So, if you sleep with them in their sheepfold, you smell like them. I can imagine the backside of the desert, Moses, who for 40 years herded these animals around, lived with them, raised a family, and wore that garment they had to wear because it’s freezing cold there. No clouds in the desert, so the heat just goes right up. It’s very cold at night and very hot during the day. Their clothes smelled like sheep and sweat because he sweated during the day and froze at night, and slept with the sheep
