We have examined the Tabernacle, its setting, its internal design, and furniture. Yahweh continued to give Moses instructions with details about the dress, duties, and consecration of the High Priest and priests. You can find those instructions in Exodus 28-29. And in Exodus 31 Yahweh points out the men called to create all of the pieces and design the artistic … Continue reading Wrapping Up the Tabernacle Series

The Final Coverings for the Tabernacle
We are considering the final pieces of the Tabernacle. We’ve investigated the two curtains draped over the Tabernacle, and now we will examine the two coverings. Exodus 26:14 “You shall also make a covering of ram skins dyed red for the tent, and a covering of badger skins above that. Let’s begin with the word covering. Covering: … Continue reading The Final Coverings for the Tabernacle
The Goats’ Hair Curtains over the Tabernacle
The next set of curtains over the Tabernacle after the white linen ones are the goats’ hair curtains. This second layer of curtains is often referred to as the tent. He made curtains of goats’ hair for the tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains. Exodus 36:14 Here is the full set of instructions: “You shall … Continue reading The Goats’ Hair Curtains over the Tabernacle
The Linen Curtain Ceiling of the Tabernacle
The Tabernacle had a framework with walls and two rooms. But it did not have beams or any type of permanent roof. Our Creator extraordinaire also gave Moses instructions for unique curtains and coverings. We will focus on the first curtain now and the other curtain and coverings later. (Note that we do not have … Continue reading The Linen Curtain Ceiling of the Tabernacle
The Veil Entrance to the Holy of Holies
Last time we considered the Door to the Holy Place. Today we are going to go into the Holy Place and consider the veil or vail depending on which version of the Bible you are reading. New Testament writers called it the vail. Like the door, the veil was woven with the same multicolored threads … Continue reading The Veil Entrance to the Holy of Holies
The Tabernacle Door – The Entrance for Priests Only
No one knows what the door looked like but these are the colors that were woven along with white. Every house needs an entry door and God’s House was no exception. The Tabernacle Door speaks volumes about Yeshua and us. Let’s get started. And thou shalt make a hanging for the door of the tent, … Continue reading The Tabernacle Door – The Entrance for Priests Only
The Framework – Part 3 – The Bars, the Rings, and the Gold
Today, we are going to complete our study about the framework of the Tabernacle. For the past two weeks, we’ve investigated the boards and the sockets. It’s been surprising to see how Yahweh included Yeshua in each piece. We’ve learned how small pieces of wood called tenons secured the boards in the sockets. Today, the … Continue reading The Framework – Part 3 – The Bars, the Rings, and the Gold
The Framework – Part 2 – The Sockets
There is a treasure in this key piece of the Tabernacle. The word tenon that we investigated last time was Strong’s number 3027, יָדוֹת in Hebrew. We uncovered the meaning of the letters. The (Yod) right hand of God’s power allowed or opened the (Dallet) Door for all impoverished men of the earth to enter … Continue reading The Framework – Part 2 – The Sockets
The Tabernacle Framework – Part 1 – The Boards and Tenons
I have a confession to make as we begin this exploration. After investigating the priceless furniture in the Tabernacle, I was not excited about this part of the instructions. But Holy Spirit prompted me to look deeper. He wanted me to see the Hebrew meaning of the letters in the materials used. Some words we … Continue reading The Tabernacle Framework – Part 1 – The Boards and Tenons
The Altar of Incense – Part 3 – The Incense and the Day of Atonement
Our Creator God, Elohim, loves color, fragrance, and variety. Like any artist, He has particular choices about the supplies He uses. We considered the dimensions and materials used to build the Altar of Incense. And in our last meeting, we covered who was appointed to tend the altar and when. Now, we will investigate the … Continue reading The Altar of Incense – Part 3 – The Incense and the Day of Atonement
