Overview

God's Determination to Dwell with His People

The whole arc of Scripture is a story of God's nearness to His people. He walked with Adam and Eve in Eden, was banished from human presence by sin, and yet promises in Revelation 21:21 to tabernacle with us forever. The wilderness tabernacle is a vital chapter in that story—God's gracious provision of a way to dwell among a sinful people without their being consumed by His holiness. Because man cannot make himself holy enough to stand before God, God Himself bridges the impasse. Even the 430 years between Jacob's family entering Egypt and the exodus remind us that God's timing is not ours, but His promise to dwell with us never fails.

A Caution About Symbolism

Scripture itself uses signs and symbols, but always to point us beyond themselves to Christ. Circumcision, given to Abraham as a covenant sign in Genesis 17:1-10, finds its fulfillment in the spiritual circumcision and baptism we have in Jesus, as Paul teaches in Colossians 2:10-12. The danger is to become so absorbed in what a symbol might mean that we worship the symbol rather than the Savior to whom it points. Let every detail of the tabernacle drive us toward Christ, His atonement, and His victory over sin and death.

A Willing People and a Providing God

In Exodus 25:3-7 and again in Exodus 35:4-9, the Lord calls for offerings of gold, silver, and bronze; blue, purple, and crimson yarns; fine linen, goats' hair, ram skins, fine leather, acacia wood, oil, spices, and precious stones. The repetition is not filler—it underscores the seriousness of obedience and the importance of this dwelling place. The response is staggering: in Exodus 36:1-7, the people give so freely that Moses must restrain them. And where did former slaves obtain such wealth? From the Lord Himself. According to Exodus 11:1-3 and Exodus 12:33-36, God gave Israel favor in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they plundered Egypt without lifting a sword. The same stiff-necked people who built a golden calf now give generously—evidence that God Himself births willing hearts.

What the Materials Teach Us

The materials are both practical and full of meaning. Gold, silver, and copper (also rendered bronze or brass) are noble metals—resistant to corrosion, malleable, valuable. They speak of God's unchanging nature: He does not tarnish, does not corrode, does not relent in His holiness. Gold is the only metal mentioned before the fall in Genesis 2:10-12 and the last metal named in the restored creation of Revelation 21:21—a thread of purity stretching from beginning to end. Silver, used throughout Scripture for monetary exchange, hints at the cost of redemption (Judas's thirty pieces purchased the blood that truly redeems us). Copper appears only in the outer court, where the judgment of sin takes place, never in the Most Holy Place. Acacia wood, dense and decay-resistant, was suited for a mobile sanctuary. Fine linen speaks of righteousness and purity, goat hair provided breathable, water-resistant covering, and ram skins—first seen as God's covering for Adam and Eve—point to atonement through sacrifice.

Pastoral Takeaway

God orchestrated every detail: the materials, the means of obtaining them, the willing hearts to give, the skilled hands to build. He still does. Just as He prepared a dwelling for Israel in the wilderness, He prepares us as His dwelling now and prepares us for the day we will dwell with Him forever. Our calling is the same as Israel's: to receive His grace, give freely, obey carefully, and fix our eyes not on the symbols themselves but on the Christ to whom they all point.

Transcript

Okay, let's go ahead and open in prayer. 3s

Lord, we thank you so much. 7s

We thank you for having gone to your people, 9s

the Israelites, to dwell amongst them. 12s

And we thank you that you then have promised to dwell 14s

amongst us today through your Son, Jesus Christ, 20s

and in the fellowship that we have in him through you. 23s

Lord, we ask that as we continue to move forward 27s

toward the day when we will be in your presence eternally, 30s

that you would guide us, that you would guard us, 35s

and that you would keep us strong in the faith 38s

that you have so graciously given to us. 41s

Lord, we ask that you would teach us by your spirit 44s

of yourself, that we would know you and know your word better. 47s

Lord, we lift all of this to you in the name of Jesus. 53s

Amen. 57s

Okay, so just a quick recap from last week, 58s

we know that I just turned my mic off. 63s

That's not going to be helpful. 66s

We know that God created man with the intent 67s

to dwell amongst him. 70s

He walked in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve. 72s

Then Adam and Eve sinned and they were banished 75s

from God's presence. 79s

God intends to dwell fully in the presence 82s

amongst his people again for all eternity. 85s

We read that in Revelation. 87s

So we begin in Genesis with God walking, 90s

dwelling amongst Adam and Eve. 92s

And then we end in Revelation with the promise 95s

that he will once again tabernacle with us, 97s

or dwell with us, or we will dwell with him. 100s

In the meantime, God had established a way 104s

for a way for himself to dwell amongst his people. 108s

And that was beginning with the tabernacle. 114s

And you'll recall what we talked about last week 118s

that though he had relationship 121s

with specific people in Genesis, 124s

he was not dwelling amongst his people. 128s

Then we get to Moses. 131s

And really, this comes down to the holiness of God. 133s

And with the holiness of God, 140s

it's so other than what any of us have ever experienced 145s

or will experience until we are in his presence 149s

in the fullness of time. 153s

But we know bottom line that man with sinful nature 156s

cannot be in the presence of holy God. 162s

His holiness shines to our unworthiness. 167s

And so when man sinned, God's holiness didn't change. 174s

God remained unchanging, unchangeable. 181s

He remained holy. 184s

And so being in the presence of God then, 186s

that ability was taken away from man 189s

because it was dangerous for sinful man 192s

to be in the presence of the all holy and mighty Lord. 198s

So something had to give if there was going to be 202s

a relationship between God and his people. 206s

There was this holiness impasse 210s

because man was not holy. 212s

God cannot not be holy. 214s

So something had to give and God can't give 216s

as far as he can't relent in his holiness. 221s

He will always be holy. 224s

But man, the question then becomes 227s

what can man offer or what can man do 230s

to make him or herself mankind holy enough 233s

to be in the presence of the Lord. 239s

And we know we can do absolutely nothing to bridge that gap. 242s

There's nothing that we can do to make ourselves 248s

holy enough to match God's holiness. 251s

But God Himself, God Himself can and does. 256s

He let the people live, we read through Genesis, 264s

He let the people live for a long time 268s

without His presence dwelling amongst them. 272s

I thought this was really interesting, considering time. 277s

And when we read Scripture, especially the Old Testament, 282s

it just seems like, wow, that was just a real quick flash of time. 285s

But you can go for 400 years in one chapter. 289s

So or from one chapter to the next. 294s

So what we find is that from when Joseph 296s

and his family, Jacob, all of Israel moved into Egypt 300s

during that time of famine until Moses brings them out, 305s

there's about 430 years. 310s

That is a long time for God to not be dwelling amongst his people. 312s

That is a really, really long time. 320s

But we remember that time is not to us what it is to God, 323s

or vice versa, God does not see time how we see time. 327s

So he knows in his perfect timing when he will come to dwell 333s

amongst his people. 337s

And so he sends Moses delivers them out of slavery 339s

and establishes his own dwelling with them. 344s

Now we are going to talk today a lot about symbolism 349s

that we find in the materials that are used to construct 354s

the tabernacle. 361s

I do want to point out that there can be a danger in symbolism. 364s

When we focus solely on symbolism, 370s

then we run the risk of getting so involved 374s

that we're worshiping the symbol, 377s

we're worshiping what it could mean instead of what it does mean. 380s

So we don't want to find meaning in anything other than 385s

what points us to Christ, what points us to his atonement, 393s

his saving us. 399s

We have the victory over sin and death in him alone. 402s

However, there is also a reality to the symbolism that we have. 407s

So a great example is circumcision. 413s

Circumcision is a sign of the covenant with God. 416s

If we go to Genesis 17, 420s

Genesis 17, that's the first book in your Bible, 423s

the 17th chapter. 428s

And we read just beginning in verse 1, 437s

when Abraham was 99 years old, 439s

the Lord appeared to Abram, or sorry, 442s

when Abram was 99 years old, 444s

the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, 446s

I am God Almighty, walk before me and be blameless, 448s

and I will make my covenant between me and you, 451s

and will make you exceedingly numerous. 454s

Then Abram fell on his face and God said to him, 457s

as for me, this is my covenant with you, 460s

you shall be the ancestor of a multitude of nations, 462s

and then let's jump down to 9, verse 9, in chapter 17. 466s

God said to Abraham, his name has been changed now. 470s

As for you, you shall keep my covenant, 474s

you and your offspring after you throughout their generations. 477s

This is my covenant, which you shall keep between me and you 480s

and your offspring after you. 484s

Every male among you shall be circumcised. 485s

So he gave them circumcision as a sign of the covenant 489s

that he was making with Abraham, that he was making with his people. 494s

Then if we go to the New Testament in collagens, 500s

collagens chapter 2. 504s

So if you go to the New Testament, 510s

you're going to pass the Gospels and then the book of Acts, 513s

Romans, first and second Corinthians, 518s

then Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, 520s

then you'll find yourself at collagens, collagens 2, verses 10 through 12. 525s

And you have come to the fullness in him, 533s

who is the head of every ruler and authority. 536s

In him also, you were circumcised, he's talking about Jesus, 538s

Paul is talking about Jesus. 542s

You were circumcised with a spiritual circumcision 543s

by putting off the body of the flesh in the circumcision of Christ 546s

when you were buried with him in baptism. 550s

You were also raised with him through faith in the power of God 552s

who raised him from the dead. 557s

So we see that the sign of circumcision, 559s

we look to what that is in Christ and in our baptisms, 563s

it is a sign of being his people. 570s

So symbolism, it is in Scripture, 574s

but we cannot only rest in symbolism. 578s

Does that make sense where there could be a danger there? 584s

Okay, so I know, I always just love to give you the warnings, 587s

but I think it is important to know what bounds we need to keep ourselves in 593s

within God's Word. 599s

Really, we know anything that is pointing us to Christ, 601s

we can be pointed, 604s

but where we're ending up in focus is Christ. 607s

Where we're ending up is what Christ has done for us. 610s

So let's open up to Exodus chapter 25. 613s

So Genesis is the first book in your Bible, 618s

you're going to open it up to that second book, which is Exodus. 620s

Exodus 25, did any of you read 25 through 40 of Exodus? 624s

Okay, started. 629s

Okay, that's all good. 631s

Every week, every day, you have the opportunity to read Exodus 25 through 40. 635s

And more, I highly encourage, I really invite you to read lots and lots and lots of Scripture. 642s

Okay, so we are going to start in with the materials that were needed for the tabernacle. 648s

In Exodus 25, we come to verses three through seven, 655s

where God says, this is the offering that you shall receive from them, 660s

that is the Israelite people, gold, silver, and bronze, blue, purple, and crimson yarns, 665s

and fine linen, goats hair, tanned, ram skins, fine leather, akasha wood, oil for the lamps, 671s

spices for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense, 678s

onnix stones and gems to be set in the ephod and for the breast piece. 682s

Okay. 687s

So God commands that the people would participate in the gathering and the constructing of the tabernacle, 688s

according to His exact directions. 695s

So the command to gather and the offering and the skills of the laborers then is repeated 698s

if we go to Exodus 35. 704s

It's very interesting, as we said last week, that all of the details are given once 708s

and then they're repeated, and there's not a lot of summing up, 715s

which really calls or should highlight our attention to the importance of this, 721s

and the importance of the Israelite people really obeying what they have been commanded to do by God. 727s

So then we have a command in Exodus 35, verse beginning in verse four, 735s

Moses said to all the congregation of the Israelites, 742s

this is the thing that the Lord has commanded, 746s

take from among you an offering to the Lord, let whoever is of a generous heart bring the Lord's offering, 749s

gold, silver, and bronze, blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and fine linen, 755s

goats hair, tanned, ram skins, and fine leather. 761s

Akasha wood, oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense, 764s

and onic stones and gems to be set in the ephod, and the breastpiece, 769s

all who are skillful among you shall come and make all that the Lord has commanded. 774s

Okay, so he repeats the list, and he says, 779s

whoever has heart, whoever has heart to give these things, 785s

these are the things that are needed. 792s

And so then we go over to verses 20 through 29, 795s

and we read in 35, 20 through 29, we read where the people are bringing this, 802s

and this, and this, and again it goes through the list, 807s

and how the Israelite people are coming to the skilled laborers, 810s

and they're bringing all of these items, and they're giving, and they're giving, and they're giving. 816s

And then we get to Exodus 36, and beginning in verse 1, 821s

where Bezelel and Aholiab, and every skillful one, to whom the Lord has given skill and understanding, 829s

to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary, 836s

shall work in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded. 839s

Moses then called Bezelel and Aholiab, and every skillful one, to whom the Lord had given skill, 843s

everyone whose heart was stirred to come to do the work, 849s

and they received from Moses all the free will offerings that the Israelites had brought for the doing, 853s

for doing the work on the sanctuary. 859s

They still kept bringing him free will offerings every morning, 861s

so that all the artisans who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, 866s

each from the task being performed and said to Moses, 871s

the people are bringing much more than enough for doing the work that the Lord has commanded us to do. 873s

So Moses gave command, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp. 881s

No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary, 885s

so the people were restrained from bringing for what they had already brought, 890s

was more than enough to do all the work. 896s

They gave, and they gave, and they gave, can you imagine, 902s

giving so much that we would come and say, oh, just no more, no more, they gave so much that the artisans, 907s

the skilled laborers, they had too much, what a joyous gift. 920s

Now keep in mind, this is after this same Israelite people had constructed the golden calf. 926s

This is those same stiff-necked people that had been complaining, why are we out of Egypt? 934s

We would have been so better off just to be left in slavery, 941s

so they've not been completely open and loving-hearted toward God at all times, 945s

and yet now they have been commanded with a free will offering, with their heart to give. 952s

And if you have not been in service yet, look forward to today's sermon, 962s

really God births that giving in the people, and they give and give and give. 968s

So now you think, okay, so the Israelites are flooding the workers with all of this gold, 977s

all of these stones, all of these precious minerals, 987s

and they had just come out of bondage. 992s

They had just come out of slavery, and they're giving more than what is even, 997s

can be even necessary or handled. 1004s

Where did they get all of this stuff? 1008s

Where did they get all of this stuff? 1013s

Wow, I'm so glad you asked, because we have an answer. 1015s

If you turn back to chapter 11 in Exodus, chapter, what do you say? 1019s

They're those people. 1029s

Sister, where are all those people? 1030s

Okay, so chapter 11 verses 1 through 3, and this is when Moses is still going to Pharaoh saying, 1034s

you've got to let us go, and the plagues are coming down, so there's going to be a warning of the final plague, 1045s

verse 1 in chapter 11, the Lord said to Moses, I will bring one more plague upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt. 1051s

Afterwards, he will let you go from here. 1059s

Indeed, when he lets you go, he will drive you away. 1062s

Tell the people that every man is to ask his neighbor, and every woman is to ask her neighbor for object of silver and gold. 1065s

The Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. 1074s

Moreover, Moses himself was a man of great importance in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's officials, and in the sight of the people. 1078s

Now let's go over to chapter 12, verses, so this is what the Lord has commanded Moses to tell the people. 1087s

Chapter 12 verses 33 through 36. 1096s

The Egyptians urged the people to hasten their departure, so this is after that final plague where the first born in all of Egypt has been killed. 1100s

And the Egyptians urged the people to hasten their departure from the land, for they said, we shall all be dead. 1112s

So the people took their dough before it was leavened with their kneading bowls wrapped up in their cloaks on their shoulders. 1118s

The Israelites had done, as Moses told them, they had asked the Egyptians for jewelry of silver and gold and for clothing, and the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians so that they let them have what they asked. 1124s

And so they plundered the Egyptians. 1138s

They had more than enough materials for the dwelling place of God in their presence. 1145s

They plundered Egypt without shedding a drop of blood themselves. 1156s

Without having to destroy Egypt themselves, it was all God. 1166s

It was all God. God gave them favor in the sight of the Egyptians. 1176s

God established his people. God established his dwelling place amongst the people. 1186s

It was all God. It was all his doing, and it continued to be his doing. 1196s

So now we're going to look at the significance of these materials, because we read them over and over again. 1206s

So is there purpose to them? Some of them, yes, some of them, there is really a practical purpose more than anything. 1216s

So we're going to start with the gold silver and copper. 1224s

That copper, it can be copper, brass, bronze, it's translated as those, but it's the same metal. 1230s

So if your Bible says bronze, if it says copper, it's the same metal. 1241s

We're talking about gold, silver, and copper. 1249s

They're the first three on the list of seven metals of antiquity. 1252s

And they're the first three that have been discovered or that were discovered from a human perspective. 1258s

Those are the first three metals that were discovered. 1266s

Now we're going to get into a little bit of chemistry. 1271s

We're not going to go deep because not a chemist. 1274s

But all three are known as group 11 elements, and they appear to gather vertically on the periodic table of elements. 1276s

So they're all close together on the periodic table, and they're understood to be transition metals that form this bridge between the two sides of the periodic table. 1289s

Does that make sense, chemists? 1303s

Awesome. Okay, not a chemist, but it makes sense. 1305s

Excellent. 1310s

This is where we start to get really interesting, I think, that gold, silver, and copper are the only ones that really qualify as genuine noble metals based on their structure. 1312s

They're resistant to corrosion and they're resistant to oxidation. 1326s

Silver and copper can tarnish, but that's just a surface thing. 1331s

It does not penetrate through the metal. 1337s

So it's just a reactive coating on the surface. 1342s

So the tabernacle then, the metals used in the tabernacle are really metals that are connected with unchanging or unchangeable. 1346s

And we know that God is unchanging and unchangeable. 1359s

The three metals are also known for their antimicrobial features that resist bacteria and resist viruses. 1365s

So this was a really interesting commentary that pointed out that when Moses destroyed the golden calf, he was told to burn it, to ground it into powder, 1376s

and then put the powder in water and have the Israelites drink it. 1387s

So you think about the cleansing that we have in God and through God. 1393s

And he cleanses us and these, the Israelite people, after that ridiculous, and there is no good word for it, but that completely stiff-necked building of the golden calf that they turned from him so quickly. 1398s

And then they were drinking their idol. 1417s

They were drinking that golden calf ground down, but the material gold has beneficial cleansing properties to it. 1422s

All three of those metals can be stretched into a thin wire. They're malleable. 1433s

I like the commentary that said, you know, when we are in contact with God, we are changed. We are malleable. In his or by his word, he changes us. 1438s

All three conduct heat and electricity. Gold, silver and copper are referred to as the royal family in the world of metals because they're considered currency metals. 1453s

They're considered currency metals, so they have value. 1467s

I thought this was very interesting. Gold, if we turn to Genesis chapter 2, gold is the only metal that's mentioned before the fall. 1473s

And it stands alone as the last metal discussed in the Bible during the restoration of all things in the heavenly cities. 1485s

So let's go to Genesis chapter 2 verses 10 through 12. So this is before the fall. 1493s

A river flows out of Eden to water the garden and from there it divides and becomes four branches. 1500s

The name of the first is Pishon. It is the one that flows out of the whole land of Havala where there is gold and the gold of that land is good. 1506s

So we have gold mentioned in Genesis and then we go to Revelation and that's the final book in your Bible, the last book. 1516s

So if you go to the very end and you find the glossary, the words, then you go back a little bit and you'll find Revelation. 1527s

Revelation 21, 21. 1538s

And the 12 gates are 12 pearls and each of the gates is a single pearl and the street of the city is pure gold transparent as glass. 1545s

So we have gold that is pure beginning in Genesis before the fall and we have gold that is pure at the end or for eternity in Revelation. 1557s

So we see a lot of that bridging from Genesis to Revelation through that metal. 1576s

Gold is set apart from the others. It does not tarnish. It can be scratched. 1586s

It does not tarnish but it can also be soft. 1595s

It remains unchanged throughout time, throughout exposure which we know that God remains unchanged through all time, no matter what we try to throw at Him. 1599s

He remains unchanged, unchangeable, untarnished and that is the faith that He calls us to. He calls us to a pure faith in Him. 1615s

So now let's talk about the Acacia Wood. 1631s

So the Acacia Wood or the Acacia Trees would have been one of the only types of trees that was growing in the wilderness at that time or in that region. 1636s

It's very dense. It's extremely strong. Think about how often this is a mobile tabernacle. This is a mobile arc. 1647s

They are moving it as God tells them and so he leads them to build it out of a strong and dense wood. It's resistant to decay. 1657s

So God is setting up his tabernacle to be lasting for the time that he needs it to be lasting. 1673s

Which when we take that step back and see that he's called the Israelites people to do this, to construct this. 1682s

But he's made sure they had the materials. He's made sure that they have the instructions of how to make it. 1691s

He is conducting all of it. He is behind the scenes in front of the scenes. He is the scene. He is making all of this happen for the Israelites people. 1700s

And yet they still are stiff-necked. 1712s

So they use the Acacia Wood for practical purposes there. 1717s

Okay. Let's go back for a moment to the metals. This is very interesting. 1728s

What I love studying about this is that all of these little insightful commentaries of theologians who have studied this in depth and one of them pointed out that how much silver is used in communicating monetary exchange in Scripture. 1736s

And of course, that immediately brings to mind Judas. What did he betray Christ for? Silver. 30 pieces of silver. 1760s

Silver really is undergirding that cost of redemption for us. 1776s

So not that, again, not that we are focusing on the symbol of silver, but it's an interesting consideration to think that this metal that is used is of monetary purpose. 1787s

So we have the purity of the gold. We have the untarnishing gold. And then we have this silver that is used in value exchanges. 1805s

It's a redemption. And our redemption was sold for 30 pieces of that silver. And we know that we are not redeemed by the silver. 1817s

We are redeemed for the blood that was bought for that silver. So then we have copper or bronze brass. 1829s

There's no copper. And next week we're going to actually lay out the tabernacle and where things are situated. 1838s

No copper is found in the holy place or the holy of holies. In the holiest place of all holies, there is no copper. 1847s

It's only in the outer court where judgment of sin is happening. Where judgment of sin is occurring. 1857s

So one theologian equates the copper with judgment. 1865s

Hold on a second here. We're going to go with a little bit more. 1872s

Then we have the linens. The linens. We've got the fine linens which is going to be white, which shows us purity, which shows us righteousness. 1878s

It's very interesting that first layer of fabric that linens is concealing and protecting the sacred spaces of the tabernacle. 1889s

It's also used as the material for the priestly garments, who were the the Levitical priesthood that was who served at the tabernacle, also symbolizing that righteousness and purity. 1898s

Also this first layer of linen is going to be a very, very nice contrast. That light linen contrasted with those woven fibers of blue and purple and crimson or scarlet. 1915s

That layer of goat hair, that's the first or the second of the four layers, the first layer of an animal based covering. 1935s

Very interesting is that this is a standard textile that's used. 1946s

But the practical purpose of it is that the way that the hair is, it allows for breathing rooms. 1952s

So if there's a breeze, the breeze moves through it. But then when it rains, it expands the hair fibers so that it becomes water resistant. 1960s

So that water doesn't get through. So we've got the fine linens. We've got the beautiful fabric or the beautiful woven fabrics on top. 1970s

Then we've got this protective layer of mohair that really serves to let air come in, but also protect when it is raining. 1978s

It has a, it's anti-fungal. There you go. Anti-fungal. Always something new to learn. 1992s

Then we have, well, second here. Then we have the ram skin. That's the first of the two skin covering. 2002s

So we've got the linen. We've got the hair. Then we have the ram skin. The first time that we see ram skin is after the fall when Adam and Eve are hiding. 2011s

And they've sewn together some fig leaves. God provides covering for them. And he uses the skin of an animal. 2023s

Also, we remember that the goat is the offering of atonement. The ram is an offering of atonement, which we'll get to that too. 2034s

The last skin covering, this is very interesting. There's a lot of discussion on what leather it is. 2046s

And I've never, never read this before until I've started diving in now in this study. It may be porpoise skin. 2056s

I've never heard that. So I'm going to see if I can find more on that. But even in the Septuagint, it says it could be this, this, this, this, and porpoise is one of them. 2069s

This leather is served to transport. So you transport, I mean, think of how often they're moving the tabernacle and they need to be able to transport everything. 2084s

So this is, this is used in transporting its, its versatile, its waterproof, it is salt waterproof. So there's a lot of practical purpose in that as well. 2094s

Next week, if there's anything with the materials, like we didn't get into the, the priestly fabrics or, or stones yet, 2110s

we'll finish those while we do. This is a blank page right now. Next week, we're going to have the tabernacle on here. 2120s

I think it's helpful to see the visual layout of how things are. So next week, we're going to continue with that. And then the following week, we will talk about sacrifice. 2127s

Woo! So, okay. Thank you. 2139s

You 2150s
