Exodus
Chapter 25
1
And Jehovah/God spoke unto Moses, saying,
2
Speak unto the children of Israel,
that
they bring me an offering:
of
every man that gives it willingly
with
his heart/'right lobe' {positive volition}
you
shall take my offering.
3
And this is the offering which you shall take of them:
gold,
and silver, and brass, 4
and
blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and
fine linen, and goats' hair, 5
and
rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins,
and
acacia/Shittim wood, 6
oil
for the light, spices for anointing oil,
and
for sweet incense, 7
onyx
stones, and stones to be set in the ephod,
and
in the breastplate.
8
And let them make Me a sanctuary;
that
I may dwell among them.
9
According to all who I show you,
after
the pattern of the tabernacle,
and
the pattern of all the instruments thereof,
even
so shall you make it.
{Ark
of the Covenant}
10
And they shall make an ark of acacia/Shittim wood:
two
cubits and a half shall be the length thereof,
and
a cubit and a half the breadth thereof,
and
a cubit and a half the height thereof.
{Note: The wood represents the humanity of Jesus Christ.}
11
And you shall overlay it with pure gold,
within
and without shall you overlay it,
and
shall make upon it a crown of gold round about.
{Note: The overlay of gold represents the Deity of Jesus Christ. So the Ark represents the Hypostatic Union of both 100% pure deity with 100% pure humanity in one Unique Person of the Universe.}
12
And you shall cast four rings of gold for it,
and
put them in the four corners thereof;
and
two rings shall be in the one side of it,
and
two rings in the other side of it.
13
And you shall make staves of acacia/Shittim wood,
and
overlay them with gold.
14
And you shall put the staves into the rings
by
the sides of the ark,
that
the ark may be borne with them.
15
The staves shall be in the rings of the ark:
they
shall not be taken from it.
16
And you shall put into the Ark
the
testimony which I shall give you all.
17
And you shall make a Mercy seat of pure gold:
two
cubits and a half shall be the length thereof,
and
a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
{Note: The Mercy seat is where the Shekinah Glory sits in the Holy of Holies when the presence of the Lord is present.}
18
And you shall make two cherubim of gold,
of
beaten work shall you make them,
in
the two ends of the mercy seat.
{Note: Until the Seraphim rank of six wing angels, the rank of four wings was the highest rank of angel - they were called cherubs or with the Hebrew plural ending cherubim.}
19
And make one cherub on the one end,
and
the other cherub on the other end:
even
of the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim
on
the two ends thereof.
{Note: The two cherubs represent the Righteousness and Justice of God.}
20
And the cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high,
covering
the mercy seat with their wings,
and
their faces shall look one to another;
toward
the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be.
21
And you shall put the mercy seat above upon the Ark;
and
in the Ark you shall put the testimony
that
I shall give you all.
22
And there I will meet with you,
and
I will commune with you from above the mercy seat,
from
between the two cherubim
which
are upon the Ark of the testimony,
of
all things which I will give you in commandment
unto
the children of Israel.
23
You shall also make a table
of
Acacia/Shittim wood {from Acacias trees}:
two
cubits shall be the length thereof,
and
a cubit the breadth thereof,
and
a cubit and a half the height thereof.
24
And you shall overlay it with pure gold,
and
make thereto a crown of gold round about.
25
And you shall make unto it a border
of
an hand breadth round about,
and
you shall make a golden crown
to
the border thereof round about.
26
And you shall make for it four rings of gold,
and
put the rings in the four corners
that
are on the four feet thereof.
27
Over against the border shall the rings be
for
places of the staves to bear the table.
28
And you shall make the staves of acacia/Shittim wood,
and
overlay them with gold,
that
the table may be borne with them.
29
And you shall make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof,
and
covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal:
of
pure gold shall you make them.
30
And you shall set upon the table
shewbread
before Me always.
31
And you shall make a candlestick of pure gold:
of
beaten work shall the candlestick be made:
his
shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops,
and
his flowers, shall be of the same.
32
And six branches shall come out of the sides of it;
three
branches of the candlestick out of the one side,
and
three branches of the candlestick out of the other side.
33
Three bowls made like unto almonds,
with
a knop and a flower in one branch;
and
three bowls made like almonds in the other branch,
with
a knop and a flower:
so
in the six branches that come out of the candlestick.
34
And in the candlestick shall be four bowls
made
like unto almonds,
with
their knops and their flowers.
35
And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same,
and
a knop under two branches of the same,
and
a knop under two branches of the same,
according
to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick.
36
Their knops and their branches shall be of the same:
all
it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
37
And you shall make the seven lamps thereof:
and
they shall light the lamps thereof,
that
they may give light over against it.
38
And the tongs thereof,
and
the snuff-dishes thereof,
shall
be of pure gold.
39 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.
40
And look that you make them after their pattern,
which
was showed you in the Mount.
