Exodus Chapters 26 and 27

 

Last week we covered the Ark of the Covenant, The table for showbread, and the golden lampstand.

 

Today we will read the instructions on making the two-parted Tabernacle tent itself, along with the Courtyard it will be within, as well as Altar for burnt offering that will be within the courtyard outside the Tabernacle.

 

The Curtains of the Tabernacle                                                                     26:1-14

 

Help me out: what is selvedge?

 

The Boards and Sockets of The Tabernacle                                      26:15-30

The Inner and Outer Veils of the Tabernacle                                   26:31-35

 

Verse 31 tells us that it would need to be woven with an artistic design of cherubim, showing God’s heart for BEAUTY and aesthetics!

 

28:1-2

 

Why was the Holy of Holies separated from the Holy Place?

 

Hebrews 9:1-15

 

The Bronze Altar of The Tabernacle                                                 27:1-8

 

John 1:29                     Revelation 13:8

 

The Court of The Tabernacle                                                             27:9-19

 

If I calculate right the Courtyard would be 11,250 Square Feet, approximately HALF of a half of a football field!

 

The oil for the lamp                                                                           27:20-21

 

Pure oil of pressed olives- the lamp will burn continually in the tabernacle of meeting, outside the veil containing the Testimony- Aaron and his sons will tend it 24/7- it will be a FOREVER statute
