It took about a year to build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hebrew Names for the Tabernacle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><em>Mishkan<\/em><\/strong> means<em> \u201c<\/em>tabernacle, dwelling or habitation<em>.\u201d Mishkan<\/em> is from the root word <em>shakan<\/em> meaning \u201cto dwell, abide, settle down, reside, tabernacle.\u201dThe word <em>shechinah <\/em>derives from <em>shakan<\/em> and refers to the manifest light or presence of YHVH among his people(Exod 25:8\u20139).<\/li><li><em><b>Ohel<\/b><\/em> <strong>\u202c<\/strong>(as in <em>tent of the congregation\/meeting<\/em>) means \u201ca nomad\u2019s tent, dwelling, home, habitation\u201d(Exod 29:42).<\/li><li><strong><em>Miqdash<\/em><\/strong> means<em> \u201c<\/em>sacred place, sanctuary, holy place\u201dand is from the primitive root <em>qadash<\/em> and means \u201cto consecrate, sanctify, prepare, dedicate, be hallowed or set apart, be separate or holy\u201d (Exod 25:8).<\/li><li><strong><em>Kodesh<\/em><\/strong> or<em> the sanctuary<\/em> because it was set-apart ( or <em>kadosh<\/em>) to Elohim (Exod 30:13).<\/li><li><em><strong>Ohel haeduth<\/strong><\/em> means &#8220;the tabernacle or tent of the testimony or witness&#8221;<em> <\/em>since it contained the ark of the covenant housing the Torah-law given to Moses, which was an abiding witness of Israel\u2019s covenant with YHVH (Num 9:15).<\/li><li><strong><em>Mishkan<\/em><\/strong><em> <strong>haeduth<\/strong> <\/em>means \u201ctabernacle of the testimony\u201d (Num 10:11).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Examples of YHVH Tabernacling With His People<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The children of Israel have just left Egypt and are now trekking through the wilderness en route to the Promised Land. Within a couple of months, YHVH gives them their first assignment. In Exodus 25, he tells them to build a tabernacle. Why? He says to Moses, \u201cAnd let them make me a sanctuary that <strong>I may dwell among them<\/strong>\u201d (Exod 25:8). From the beginning of time, in the Garden of Eden, Elohim has wanted to \u201chang out\u201d with man. Elohim\u2019s desire to dwell or tabernacle with man is a theme that runs from Genesis to Revelation. We see this idea repeated in the Testimony of Yeshua (the New Testament).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><\/strong><strong>John 1:14<\/strong>,<em><strong> <\/strong><\/em>\u201cAnd the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.\u201d The word <em>dwelt <\/em>(Gr. <em>skenoo<\/em>) means \u201ctent or tabernacle<em>.<\/em>\u201d The Greek word <em>skenoo <\/em>most likely derives from the Hebrew word <em>shakan<\/em> meaning \u201cto dwell, abide, settle down, reside, tabernacle\u201dand is the root word for <em>mishkan<\/em>, which is the main name for the Tabernacle of Moses.<\/p><p><strong>Luke 2:7<\/strong>, The baby Yeshua was laid in a \u201cmanger.\u201d This may have been a <em>sukkah<\/em> or tabernacle, which is the flimsy little hut that Israelites build during the biblical feast of Sukkot or Tabernacles as commanded in the Torah (Lev 23:33\u201343)<em>. <\/em>We see the connection between manger and <em>sukkot <\/em>in Genesis 33:17 where Jacob built booths (or tabernacles; Heb. <em>succot or sukkot<\/em>, sing. <em>sukkah<\/em>) for his livestock showing us that the Hebrew word <em>sukkot<\/em> can also mean \u201clivestock barn or manger\u201d as well as a temporary habitation where Israelites dwell during the biblically commanded festival of <em>Sukkot<\/em>. This raises the possibility that Yeshua was born in a festival <em>sukkah<\/em> during the feast of <em>Sukkot<\/em>\u200a\u2014\u200anot just an animal barn. The LXX Greek word for <em>sukkot<\/em> in Gen 33:17 is <em>skenas <\/em>meaning \u201chabitation, dwelling or tabernacle\u201d and is the same word used in John 1:14 and Revelation 21:1\u20133 in reference to Yeshua tabernacling with his people. Putting all the pieces together, Yeshua was likely born in a <em>sukkah<\/em>-manger most probably on the Feast of <em>Sukkot<\/em> with a human <em>sukkah<\/em> (or body, of which the physical <em>sukkah<\/em> during Sukkot is a metaphorical picture) in order to redeem man from sin, so that Yeshua might tabernacle with redeemed men forever in the New Jerusalem.What an amazing Truth picture is presented before us when we put all the pieces of the puzzle together!<\/p><p><strong>Revelation 21:1\u20133<\/strong>, \u201cNow I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from Elohim, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, \u2018Behold, the tabernacle of Elohim is with men, and He will <strong>tabernacle<\/strong> with them, and they shall be His people. Elohim Himself will be with them and be their Elohim.\u2019\u201d The word <em>tabernacle<\/em> in verse three is <em>skenoo <\/em>in the Greek, the same word used in John 1:14.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Examples of YHVH\u2019s People Tabernacling With Him<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>talithe <\/em>(also <em>talit<\/em>) or prayer shawlworn by Jewish men is an examples of YHVH\u2019s people tabernacling with him. The word <em>tal-ithe<\/em> means \u201clittle tent<em>.\u201d <\/em>Each Hebrew man has his own little tabernacle, tent or prayer closet to pull over his head whenever he wants to tabernacle or commune with his Elohim. When a talit is spread out with one\u2019s arms it resembles a bird with wings. This represents YHVH\u2019s \u201cwings\u201d forming a protective shield or brooding over his people. Such a place becomes a place of refuge (Ps 91:1,4). The Spirit of Elohim brooded over the waters of the earth at creation (Gen 1:2). Yeshua spoke of his desire for Jerusalem as a mother hen spreads out its wings and gathers together its young (Matt 23:37). In ancient Mideast culture, a man would cast his outer garment over his wife-to-be as an act of claiming her for marriage. In Ezekiel 16:8, YHVH spread is \u201cwings\u201d (Heb. <em>kanaph<\/em> meaning \u201cedge, extremity, wings, bird\u2019s feathered wings\u201d) over his bride, Israel, to cover her nakedness. The Jewish wedding canopy or <em>chuppah<\/em> represents this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Constructing the Tabernacle\u200a\u2014\u200aAll Israel Was Involved<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All Israel contributed to the building of the tabernacle (Exod 25:1\u20137), yet YHVH chose two Israelite artisans, Bezalel and Aholiab (Exod 31:1\u20136), filled them with the Spirit of Elohim \u201cin wisdom, understanding, knowledge and in all manner of workmanship\u2026\u201d This teaches us that the work of YHVH is a joint effort of the entire body of YHVH-Yeshua, but that YHVH will endow certain individuals with unique gifts of the Spirit in order to accomplish his specific plans and purposes (Eph 2:22; 4:11; Rom 12:4\u20138; 1\u2009Cor 12 and 14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Israelite Encampment Around the Tabernacle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Israelites camped around the tabernacle (Num 2:1\u201334). On the east side were Judah, Issachar and Zebulun; on the South side were Reuben, Simeon and Gad; on the west side were Ephraim, Manasseh and Benjamin; and on the north side were Dan, Asher and Naphtali. According to the numbers of the fighting men given in Numbers 2, we see that the encampment of Israelites around the tabernacle formed a perfect Paleo-Hebrew letter <em>tav, <\/em>which looks like a cross or our small letter <em>t<\/em>. This is amazing when added to the fact that everything in and around the tabernacle pointed to Yeshua the Messiah, to his redemptive work on the cross and the steps of each person must take to be reconciled to Elohim and eventually to inherit eternal life. Moreover, the Levites camped around the tabernacle forming a protective perimeter between the Israelites and the tabernacle itself (Num 1:53), even as Yeshua provided the five-fold ministry of apostle, prophet, evangelist, shepherd or pastor and teacher to surround the church, to edify the body of Yeshua and to bring them into the unity of the faith (Eph 4:11).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#6000a3\" class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A Quick Tour of the Tabernacle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/tabernacle-diagram.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20075\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/tabernacle-diagram.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/tabernacle-diagram-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/tabernacle-diagram-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Altar of the Red Heifer (Num 19:1\u201311)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See the article toward the end of this teaching on the red heifer where we discuss how it relates to Yeshua\u2019s death at the cross. It is necessary for each saint to visit this altar representing the cross, which was located just outside the tabernacle, before being allowed into the tabernacle as the writer of Hebrews informs us (Heb 13:12\u201313).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Outer Curtain (Exod 27:9\u201319)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tabernacle\u2019s outer court was approximately 150 feet long by 75 feet wide (or 11,250 square feet, which is about one-fourth of an acre) in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The curtains of the outer court (Exod 27:9\u201319) were made of fine white linen and was seven-and-a-half feet tall. The linen curtains speak of robes of righteousness the bride of Yeshua will wear on her wedding day (Rev 19:8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sixty pillars supported the outer curtain. They were set in heavy bronze (or brass) bases topped by silver capitals. These pillars represent redeemed humanity wearing robes of righteousness. Wood symbolizes humanity, while bronze symbolizes judgment against man because of sin, and silver represents redemption or Elohim\u2019s ransom price for man\u2019s sin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Door to the Tabernacle (Exod 27:16\u201317)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The door of the outer court curtain contained three colors woven into white linen fabric: blue, purple, crimson, and white. These four colors speak of different attributes of Yeshua, whom Scripture likens to the door of salvation (John 10:1\u201318). These four colors combine to form a full picture of Yeshua, the Redeemer and Savior of Israel. Only through him can man come to the Father, have salvation, eternal life and inhabit the glorious New Jerusalem pictured by the glory cloud over the Holy of holies in the tabernacle. The four colors also correspond to the four faces of the living beings around the throne of Elohim (Ezek 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crimson symbolizes the human aspects of Yeshua, for red is the color of man and red clay from which YHVH created man (<em>adam<\/em>). Some Bible commentators believe this points to the Gospel of Mark, which reveals the nature of Yeshua at the <em>pashat <\/em>(the simpleor plain level) of biblical understanding. Some see this as corresponding to the ox cherubim and the tribe of Ephraim, which had on its banner an ox. According to Hebrew roots commentator and linguistic scholar James Trimm, \u201cMark presents the Messiah as the servant (the servant who purifies the Goyim in Isa 52:13, 15) the \u201cmy servant the Branch\u201d of Zech 3:8 who is symbolized by the face of the Ox in Ezekiel 1 (the Ox being a servant, a beast of burden). Mark does not begin with an account of the birth of Messiah as do Matthew and Luke because, unlike the birth of a King, the birth of a servant is unimportant, all that is important is his work as a servant which begins with his immersion by [John]. Thus Mark\u2019s simplified account omits any account of Yeshua\u2019s birth or preexistence and centers on his work as a servant who purifies the [people of the nations].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White symbolizes the righteousness of Yeshua. Some Bible commentators believe this points to the Gospel of Luke which reveals the nature of Yeshua at the <em>remez<\/em> (the hint) level of biblical understanding. Some see this as corresponding to the man cherubim and the tribe of Reuben, which had on its banner an man. Trimm writes that, \u201cLuke wrote a more detailed account for the high priest Theophilus (a Sadducee). The Sadducees were rationalists and sticklers for details. Luke presents Yeshua as the \u201cSon of Man\u201d and as \u201cthe man whose name is the Branch\u201d (Zech 6:12) who is presented as a high priest and is symbolized by the face of the man in Ezekiel 1. Luke wants to remind by <em>remez<\/em> (by implication) the high priest Theophilus about the redemption of the filthy high priest Joshua (Zech 6) and its prophetic foreshadowing of a \u2018man\u2019 who is a Messianic \u201cPriest\u201d and who can purify even a high priest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Purple symbolizes the regal or kingly aspects of Yeshua. Some Bible commentators believe this points to the Gospel of Matthew, which reveals the nature of Yeshua at the <em>drash<\/em> (the allegorical or homiletical) level of biblical understanding. Some see this as corresponding to the lion cherubim and the tribe of Judah, which had on its banner an lion. Trimm writes, \u201cMatthew presents his account of Yeshua\u2019s life as a Midrash to the Pharisees, as a continuing story tied to various passages from the Tanakh (for example Matt 2:13\u201315 presents an allegorical understanding of Hos 11:1). As a <em>drash<\/em> level account Matthew also includes a number of parables in his account. Matthew presents Messiah as the King Messiah, the Branch of David (Jer 23:5-6 and Is. 11:1f) symbolized by the face of the lion in Ezekiel 1.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blue symbolizes the heavenly of divine aspects of Yeshua. Some Bible commentators believe this points to the Gospel of John, which reveals the nature of Yeshua at the <em>sod<\/em> (the mystical) level of biblical understanding. Some see this as corresponding to the eagle cherubim and the tribe of Dan, which had on its banner an eagle. According to Trimm, \u201c[John] addresses the mystical Essene sect and concerns himself with mystical topics like light, life, truth, the way and the Word. [John] includes many <em>sod<\/em> interpretations in his account. For example [John] 1:1 presents a <em>sod<\/em> understanding of Genesis 1:1. [John] 3:14; 8:28 and 12:32 present a <em>sod<\/em> understanding of Numbers 21:9 etc.\u201d (all of Trimm\u2019s references are from the internet site: http:\/\/www.jios.org\/The%20Synoptic%20Solution_jt.html)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Altar of Sacrifice (Exod 27:1\u20138)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just inside the door of the tabernacle was the altar of sacrifice. It was made of acacia wood overlaid with bronze, which is a shadow picture of Yeshua bearing the judgment for men\u2019s sins on the cross. The blood of the sacrifice was poured out on the ground at the base of the altar picturing Yeshua shedding his blood at the cross. Two lambs were offered at the altar morning and evening (Exod 29:38\u201342). This pictures our need to come humbly before our Father in heaven morning and evening in prayerful devotion as living sacrifices to confess our sins, to praise and thank him (Ps 51:16\u201317; Heb 13:15; 1\u2009John 1:7\u20139).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Bronze Laver (Exod 30:17\u201321)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The large bronze basin was fabricated from the mirrors the Israelite women donated (Exod 38:8). Perhaps James had this idea in view when he speaks of being a doer of the Word of Elohim, not just a hearer, for a hearer and not a doer is like one who sees himself in the spiritual mirror of Elohim\u2019s Word and forgetting what he looks like does not allow the Word to transform him (Jas 1:22\u201325). We know that water is a poetic metaphor for YHVH\u2019s Word (Eph 5:26; Tit 3:5; Heb 10:22; Deut 32:2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the laver, the priests were to wash their hands and feet before going into the tabernacle so that they would not die. The hands and feet represent the entire body since they are the highest and lowest parts of the body. They also represent our direction and our action\u200a\u2014\u200aeverywhere we go and all that we do\u200a\u2014\u200amust be pure before ministering before YHVH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From the Outer Court to the Inner Sanctuary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the outer court, the theme was washing, judgment and death, while in the inner sanctuary the theme was light, food and fragrance. This represents steps of maturity in the believer\u2019s life and progression in one\u2019s spiritual focus. Some believers never leave the outer, for their spiritual lives never evidence the deeper values of praise, worship and abiding in YHVH characterized by the service in the sanctuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Boards of the Sanctuary (Exod 26:15\u201330)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The walls of the tabernacle were constructed of vertical boards (20 on a side and 6 on the back) and were made of acacia wood covered in gold held sitting in silver bases. The boards were held upright by five horizontal acacia wood bars also overlaid in gold that ran the length of the walls. The boards standing tall speak of YHVH\u2019s upright saints (Yeshurun\u200a\u2014\u200aanother name for Israel, see Deut 32:15; 33:5; 33:26; Isa 44:2) who are called to be the temple of YHVH (1\u2009Cor 3:16; 6:19; 2\u2009Cor 6:16) and who will also be pillars in YHVH\u2019s eternal New Jerusalem temple (Rev 3:12). Wood overlaid with gold in silver bases speaks of redeemed humanity with the divine nature of Yeshua. It also speaks of the two-fold nature of Yeshua who was both human and divine. The five wooden bars speak of the five-fold ministry of apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds and teachers for the edifying or building up and perfecting of the saints\u200a\u2014\u200athe body of Yeshua (Eph 4:11\u201313). Five can also speak of the five books of YHVH\u2019s Torah\u200a\u2014his instructions in righteousness, which shows believers how to walk uprightly before YHVH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Door of the Sanctuary (Exod 26:36\u201337)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This door had the same colors as the door to the outer courtyard (blue, crimson, white and purple) and was also woven of fine linen. The door was the same size in area, though it was a different dimension than the first door, for it was taller and narrower. This teaches us that the view of Yeshua becomes higher, and the way to the holiest place becomes narrower and the requirements become more stringent as one draws closer in proximity to YHVH\u2019s glorious presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Five wooden pillars covered in gold supported by bronze bases held the curtains up. Again, the wood-covered gold speaks of the righteousness of the saints. Bronze speaks of Elohim\u2019s judgment and five can speak of both the five books of YHVH\u2019s Torah as well as the five-fold ministry the purpose of which is to ground YHVH\u2019s people in his Torah-instructions in righteousness. In so doing, the Saints will become like Yeshua, who was the physical embodiment of the Torah\u200a\u2014\u200aor YHVH\u2019s Torah-Word made flesh (the Living Torah, John 1:1,14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Menorah (Exod 25:31\u201339)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The menorah was beaten out of a solid ingot of pure gold and stood on the left side of the holy place inside the tabernacle. It was the only light in the holy place. The menorah had seven branches with three on either side of a central stem. Each branch had three decorative cups, a knob and a flower resembling that of an almond flower. The cups were called lamps and each was filled with the purest olive oil and contained a wick that was lit. The menorah was lit each day, and each of the six outer lamps were designed so that when lit its flame pointed toward the central stem. The menorah had tools\u200a\u2014\u200atongs and spoons\u200a\u2014\u200ato tend the wick. These implements were used to clean and to prepare the lamps and to remove the previous day\u2019s ashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The menorah is a picture of Yeshua, the Tree of Life, who likened himself to a vine and his followers to branches\u201d (John 15:1\u20137). It also pictures the idea that the saints are members of the body of Yeshua (1\u2009Cor 12:12) and are established in him (2\u2009Cor 1:21). His followers are connected to him, draw sustenance from him, and the spiritual light of their lives point toward him in all that they do. Believers are to be \u201con fire\u201d for doing the work of Yeshua. The Spirit of Elohim directed by the Torah\u200a\u2014\u200aboth pictured by the olive oil\u200a\u2014\u200afuels that fire. On the Day of Pentecost, the believers in the upper room received fire of YHVH\u2019s Spirit and had his Torah-law written in their hearts. Through the empowerment of the Spirit\u200a\u2014\u200aboth the fruits and the gifts\u200a\u2014\u200athe saints were able take the light of the gospel out to the world. The significance of the menorah in the believer\u2019s life is evidenced by the fact that Scripture reveals that it (not the cross) is the actual symbol for assembly of believers in Yeshua (Rev 1:12,20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a further discussion on the special olive oil that was used in the menorah and its spiritual significance, please read the article toward the end of this work on the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Table of Showbread (Exod 25:23\u201330)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the right side of the tabernacle opposite the menorah was the table of showbread. It was constructed of acacia wood overlaid in gold, which speaks of the two-fold nature of Messiah\u200a\u2014\u200aboth human and divine, with a crown of gold, which pictures Yeshua\u2019s being the head of the body of believers. On the table were placed twelve loaves of bread representing the twelve tribes of Israel in communion with each other and YHVH. These loaves were replaced with fresh loaves every Sabbath (Lev 25:5\u20139). These loaves represent the whole house of Israel fellowshipping around Yeshua, the Bread of Life. The showbread is also called the bread of presence, for the term <em>showbread<\/em> in the Hebrew literally means the bread that is \u201cin front of, before or in the face of\u201d Elohim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Golden Incense Altar (Exod 30:1\u201310)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The golden incense altar was constructed of acacia wood covered in gold and was situated in front of the veil leading into the holy of holies (the most set-apart place) halfway between the menorah and the table of showbread. Like the table of showbread, it had a golden crown around the top of it, which points to Yeshua being the head of the body of believers. The priest burned incense on the altar twice daily, in the morning and the evening. Scripture reveals that incense represents the prayers of the saints rising up to heaven before the throne of Elohim (Ps 141:2; Rev 5:8), which in the tabernacle is pictured by the mercy seat in the most set-apart place or oracle (Heb. <em>d\u2019veer<\/em>). The altar of incense was a place of deep prayer, praise, worship and intercession and speaks directly to the intimate twice daily prayer life and devotions of the born-again believer before the throne of the Father in heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Veil (Exod 26:31\u201337)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The veil or <em>parochet<\/em> divided between the holy or set-apart place and the holy of holies or most set-apart place. It was woven of fine linen of the same four colors as were the previous two curtains\u200a\u2014\u200ablue, crimson, purple and white, except this veil had cherubim embroidered into it. The most set-apart place is a picture of returning to the Garden of Eden, which had cherubim guarding its entrance (Gen 3:24), except this time it is the New Jerusalem in the New Heaven and New Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was this same veil that was rent from top to bottom in the second temple in Jerusalem at the time of Yeshua\u2019s crucifixion (Matt 27:51). The writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews teaches a correlation between the tearing of Yeshua\u2019s flesh on the cross and the tearing of the veil, and that this event opened the way for believers to be able to enter into the most set-apart place and to come boldly before the throne of Elohim through the shed blood of Yeshua (Heb 10:19\u201322 cp. 4:14\u201316).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Most Set-Apart Place<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was the small inner-most room of the tabernacle, which contained the ark of the covenant over which the pillar of fire or glory cloud rested. Only the high priest was allowed in the most set-apart place, and only then once a year on the Day of Atonement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Ark of the Covenant (Exod 25:10\u201322)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ark of the covenant was a small box of acacia wood overlaid in gold, which contained the golden pot of manna, Aaron\u2019s rod that budded and the two tablets of stone containing the ten statements of Elohim\u200a\u2014\u200acommonly called the Ten Commandments. Against the ark was leaned a scroll of the complete Torah (Deut 31:26).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Covering the ark was a golden cap called the mercy seat or <em>kapporet <\/em>and is related to the word <em>kippur<\/em> as in <em>Yom Kippur<\/em>, the Day of Atonement<em>. <\/em>Both share a common Hebrew root, which is the word <em>kapar <\/em>(<em>Strong\u2019s <\/em>G3722), which according to the <em>Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament <\/em>(<em>TWOT <\/em>1023)means \u201cto make an atonement, make reconciliation, purge\u201d) and the mercy seat\u200a\u2014\u200athe golden \u201clid\u201d covering the ark of the covenant located in the D\u2019veer (i.e., the inner shrine of the Tabernacle of Moses)\u00ad\u200a\u2014\u200awhich in Hebrew is the word <em>kapporet <\/em>was \u201cthe place of atonement or the place where atonement was made.\u201d The <em>TWOT <\/em>defines what happened at the <em>kapporet <\/em>as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was from the\u2026mercy seat that [YHVH] promised to meet with the men [of Israel] (Num\u202f7:89). The word, however, is not related to mercy and of course was not a seat. The word is derived from the root \u2018to atone.\u2019 The Greek equivalent in the LXX is usually <em>hilasterion<\/em>, \u201cplace or object of propitiation,\u201d a word which is applied to [Messiah] in Rom 3:25. The translation \u2018mercy seat\u2019 does not sufficiently express the fact that the lid of the ark was the place where the blood was sprinkled on the day of atonement. \u2018Place of atonement\u2019 would perhaps be more expressive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mercy seat covering the ark that contained the Torah is a vivid symbolic picture of YHVH\u2019s mercy triumphing over his judgment (Jas 2:13). We all deserve death for violating his commandments, for the wages of sin is death (Rom 6:23) and sin is the violation of YHVH\u2019s Torah commands (1 John 3:4). However. Yet when we repent of our sins and place our faith in Yeshua\u2019s atoning death on the cross as payment for those sins, YHVH forgives us and grants us his merciful grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everything in, on and around the ark pointed to Yeshua. Inside the ark was the golden pot of manna, which points to Yeshua who the bread of life\u200a\u2014\u200athe Word of Elohim made flesh. Aaron\u2019s rod that budded speaks of Yeshua\u2019s role as the ultimate high priest due to his atoning and life-giving work at the cross. The two stone tablets and the Torah scroll speak of the Yeshua who was the Word of Elohim from the foundation of the world (John 1:1,14), and whose words or instructions in righteousness the saints are instructed to follow (John 14:15; 1\u2009John 2:3\u20136; Rev 12:17; 14:12).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overshadowing the mercy seat were two golden cherubim with outstretched wings. This is a picture of YHVH\u2019s throne in heaven, which is surrounded by cherubim and other living creatures that sing his praises and minister to him (Rev 4).<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'The Tabernacle of Moses: Fast Facts &amp; a Quick Tour',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2022\/02\/04\/the-tabernacle-of-moses-fast-facts-a-quick-tour\/',contentID: 'post-20072',suggestTags: '',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fast Facts About the Tabernacle of Moses The tabernacle (Heb. mishkan)was constructed circa 1450 b.c. at the foot of Mount Sinai.
