Exodus 40:2–7, Set up the tabernacle. YHVH’s instructions to Moses to set up the furnishings in the tabernacle followed a particular order. Moses first started in the holy of holies, then proceeded to the table of show bread, then moved across to the menorah, then over to the altar of incense, and then down to the altar of sacrifice within the tabernacle’s courtyard, and then up to the bronze laver. The outline of Moses’ movements make a triangle on a cross with the base of the triangle forming the cross arm of the cross. The base of cross corresponds to the altar of sacrifice, while apex of the triangle corresponds to the altar of incense and the top of the cross, which extends past the apex of the triangle is where the testimony in the holy of holies is.
Would anyone care to posit their opinion on the spiritual significance of this geometric pattern?
Thank you Shabbat Shalom!
Very cool! I never saw the “arrow” before pointing to the Holy of Holies. I see the base being the blood of Yeshua (altar) washing away our sins (laver) which leads us to partake of a life with Yeshua as our bread of life, light of the world and His set apart spirit living in us or baptism of the Holy Spirit (incense) so we can hit the mark of loving our Abba Father and entering into His blessings. Thank you for this!
You have beautifully connected the dots! May YHVH be praised for his wonderful plan of salvation that he has laid out for us in his tabernacle!
