Exodus: 25:1-27:19
Reading #5 - Exodus 26:31–37
My Thoughts:
Today we learn about the veil between the Holy of Holies and the Holy Place. It is the veil that only the high priest can go through, once a year. It covers the room that contains the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be very special and the “work of a skillful workman (verse 31)”. And again there are cherubim weaved in it. I find it curious that the Ark has two cherubim and the veil has more cherubim. I believe Hashem is in the presence of many angels in His heavenly Kingdom and wants to recognize their continual presence in the Tabernacle. He is familiar with having them around Him in the Kingdom and wants the same on the earth. What do you think?
Challenge:
How about doing a quick study on angels? Go to Chabbad.org and read this very interesting article called: ANGELS. And if you have time maybe just “google” angels online. Or go to your Bible and look up angel verses. We know they are real and a very part of Hashem’s Kingdom. So, it is important to know more about Hashem!
Reading #5 - Exodus 26:31–37
26:31 “You shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. It shall be the work of a skillful workman. 32 You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, on four sockets of silver. 33 You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring the ark of the covenant in there within the veil. The veil shall separate the holy place from the most holy for you. 34 You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the covenant in the most holy place. 35 You shall set the table outside the veil, and the lamp stand opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south. You shall put the table on the north side.
36 “You shall make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer. 37 You shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold. Their hooks shall be of gold. You shall cast five sockets of bronze for them.
