The next step in the tasks set before Moses is the construction of the tabernacle - made of 10 curtains of finely twisted linen, purple and scarlet yarn, with angels worked into them made by skilled craftsmen. Each curtain was to be about 42' long and 6' wide. There will be 11 curtains of goat hair over the tabernacle. The frames would be made of acacia wood - 15' long and 2.25' wide. The south side will have 20 frames with 40 silver bases. The west end will have 6 frames and the details for the crossbars are also laid out. This tabernacle will have distinctive sections separated by curtains where they are degrees of holiness that ultimately will hold the ark of the Testimony which is the Most Holy Place.
It is tough to visualize this albeit construct this even if you were an architect.Still a shepherd was place with this awesome task and the tabernacle would ultimately be replaced by the temple that Solomon would build. What made it more interesting is that during the 40 days that Moses would spend on the mountaintop, he recorded all of this by himself. Still he is truly a remarkable man.
Things are muddling along and already I am ready for the weekend. Today is the day that should never be but still happens once every 4 years and on Presidential elections. I feel that I truly get my money's worth out of my apartment for this month's rent as opposed to the last 4 years, ha!
Prayers still continue for my peeps.
Praise for today: You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. Ps 16: 11
