THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TABERNACLE

1 And hwhy spoke to Moses, to say, 2 Speak to the Sons of Israel, and they shall take for Me a Heave Offering (Raise Offering): from ta every man which impels (volunteers, wills) himself his heart, you shall take ta-My Heave Offering (Raise Offering). 3 And this is the Heave Offering (Raise Offering) which you shall take from with them; gold, and the silver, and copper, 4 and blue, and purple, and crimson (red) worm [(worm of crimson (red))], and linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), and kid goats, 5 and skins of rams with red, and skins of clean animals, (kosher animals, antelopes, dugongs, ?badgers?), and shittim (acacia) trees (wood) [shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood], 6 oil for the light, spices for the Oil of Anointing, and for the Incense of Sweetnesses (Aromas), 7 stones of onyx, and stones of settings (fillings) for the Ephod and for the Breast Pocket. 8 And they shall do (make) for Me a Sanctuary; and I will tabernacle in their midst. 9 According to [(as)] all which I am showing (revealing) you ta the Building Pattern of the Tabernacle and ta the Building Pattern of all of his Vessels, and so you shall do (make).

Looking at the word HEAVE OFFERING (RAISE OFFERING)

The Hebrew word for Heave Offering (Raise Offering) is "t'roo-mah"- Tav, Resh, Vav, Mem, Heh (
hmwrt). It is from Strong's Concordance number 8641, and its definition

(The second form used in Deu_12:11); from H7311; a present (as offered up), especially in sacrifice or as tribute: - gift, heave offering ([shoulder]), oblation, offered (-ing).

from 7311 "room" (
mwr), and its definition

A primitive root; to be high actively to rise or raise (in various applications, literally or figuratively): - bring up, exalt (self), extol, give, go up, haughty, heave (up), (be, lift up on, make on, set up on, too) high (-er, one), hold up, levy, lift (-er) up, (be) lofty, (X a-) loud, mount up, offer (up), + presumptuously, (be) promote (-ion), proud, set up, tall (-er), take (away, off, up), breed worms.

This is an act to "lift" the Name of 
hwhy through this offering to make the Tabernacle for Him to dwell with the Israelites.

Each of these items required to make the Tabernacle have symbolic meanings:

Gold: Kingdom, Eternal, Perfection
Silver: Redemption
Copper: Man, Judgment, Suffering-
(source: maranathalife.com)
Blue: Heaven
Purple: Royalty
Red: Blood, Atonement, Sacrifice
Crimson worm: Blood, Atonement, Sacrifice
Fine linen: Righteousness
(source: maranathalife.com)
Goat's Hair: Prophecy (source: maranathalife.com) [also could be purity]
Ram's Skins: Sacrificial (source: maranathalife.com)
Skins of Clean Animals, (Kosher Animals, Antelopes, Dugongs, ?Badgers?): Sacrificial (source: maranathalife.com)
Shittim Wood: Humanity, also could be Scourging and Piercing and Lashing- to be explained later
Oil: Spirit
Spices/Incense: Worship (source: maranathalife.com)/Prayers of the Saints
Onyx Stone/Stones: Purity
Fifty: The Jubilee Year/hwhy's Fifty Year Cycle

Also, it says in verse two of this week's Torah portion passage that the men are to give generously to their hearts desire. This is an act of giving to 
hwhy. As the Christian song is commonly sang, "freely you have received, freely give".

Focusing on the shittim wood mentioned in verse five of this week's Torah portion passage

Looking at the word SHITTIM (ACACIA)

The Hebrew word for shittim (acacia) is "shee-teem"- Shin, Tet, Yod, Mem Sophit (
Myjs). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7848, and its definition

Feminine of a derivative (the second form being only in the plural, meaning the sticks of wood) from the same as H7850; the acacia (from its scourging thorns): - shittah, shittim. See also H1029.

from 7850 "shoh-teyt" (
jjs), and its definition

Active participle of an otherwise unused root meaning (properly to pierce; but only as a denominative from H7752) to flog; a goad: - scourge.

from 7752 "shote" (
jws), and its definiton

From H7751; a lash (literally or figuratively): - scourge, whip.

from 7751 "shoot" (
jws), and its definition

A primitive root; properly to push forth; (but used only figuratively) to lash, that is, (the sea with oars) to row; by implication to travel: - go (about, through, to and fro), mariner, rower, run to and fro.

Shittim is an act of "scourging" and "whipping" and "lashing".

This is what Wikipedia says regarding the Shittim Tree:

Shittah tree (Hebrew: שטה) or the plural "shittim" was used in the Tanakh to refer to trees belonging to the genus Vachellia and the genus Faidherbia. Faidherbia albida, Vachellia seyal, Vachellia tortilis, and Vachellia gerrardii can be found growing wild in the Sinai desert and the Jordan valley.

In the Exodus, the ancient Israelites were commanded to use shittah wood to make various parts of the Tabernacle and of the Ark of the Covenant. This was most likely the Acacia seyal.

"The wild acacia (Vachellia nilotica), under the name of sunt, everywhere represents the seneh, or senna, of the burning bush. A slightly different form of the tree, equally common under the name of seyal, is the ancient shittah, or, as more usually expressed in the plural form, the shittim, of which the Tabernacle was made."

This is an image of a Shittim (Acacia) Tree in Engedi taken many years ago



This is a picture example of what Shittim (Acacia) wood looks like




Indirectly related, though the Hebrew word shittim is not in this scripture, shittim wood is symbolic and is relevent to this passage, which is noted in the book of the prophet Isaiah

Isaiah 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of Elohim, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

This was a prophecy regarding Yeshua, the Messiah, who was "scourged" and "whipped" and "lashed" for us and our sins, so that we can have an eternal relationship with our Heavenly Father by the sacrifice Yeshua paid for us. Thank You, Yeshua. Also it could have been the very tree species that the Roman soldiers used the branches to make a crown for Yeshua.

By the way, how did they get the shittim wood in a wilderness? The only possibility could be that that shittim wood existed in the wilderness during their day.

Looking at the following words:

SANCTUARY

The Hebrew word for Sanctuary is "Meek-dahsh"- Mem, Kuph, Dalet, Shin (
sdqm). It is from Strong's Concordance number 4720, and its definition

From H6942; a consecrated thing or place, especially a palace, sanctuary (whether of Jehovah or of idols) or asylum: - chapel, hallowed part, holy place, sanctuary.

from 6942 "kah-dash" (
sdq), and its definition

A primitive root; to be (causatively make, pronounce or observe as) clean (ceremonially or morally): - appoint, bid, consecrate, dedicate, defile, hallow, (be, keep) holy (-er, place), keep, prepare, proclaim, purify, sanctify (-ied one, self), X wholly.


TABERNACLE

The Hebrew word for Tabernacle is "Meesh-kahn"- Mem, Shin, Kaph, Mem Sophit (
Nksm). It is from Strong's Concordance number 4908, and its definition

From H7931; a residence (including a shepherd’s hut, the lair of animals, figuratively the grave; also the Temple); specifically the Tabernacle (properly its wooden walls): - dwelleth, dwelling (place), habitation, tabernacle, tent.

from 7931 "shah-khan" (
Nks), and its definition

A primitive root (apparently akin (by transmutation) to H7901 through the idea of lodging; compare H5531 and H7925); to reside or permanently stay (literally or figuratively): - abide, continue, (cause to, make to) dwell (-er), have habitation, inhabit, lay, place, (cause to) remain, rest, set (up).

Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb Ministries, Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries and other Messianic/Hebraic Roots teachers noted that we are Yeshua's Tabernacle, or Temple, which is noted by the apostle Paul in his letter to the assembly in Corinth

1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have of hwhy, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify hwhy in your body, and in your spirit, which are hwhy's.



Verses ten through sixteen

THE ARK OF THE TESTIMONY (WITNESS)

10 And they shall do (make) an Ark of trees (wood) of shittim (acacia) [shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood]: two and the half cubits shall be his length, and a cubit and the half shall be his width, and a cubit and the half shall be his height. 11 And you shall overlay (sheet over) him of pure gold, you shall overlay (sheet over) him from housingward (inside) and from outside, and you shall do (make) upon him a Crown (Chaplet, Wreath) of gold all around. 12 And you shall mold (cast, molten, pour out) for him four Rings of gold, and you shall give upon (over) his four corners (tapped corners, two-fold areas); and two Rings shall be upon (over) his one rib (side), and two Rings shall be upon (over) his second rib (side). 13 And you shall do (make) Poles of trees (wood) of shittim (acacia) [shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood], and you shall overlay (sheet over) them of gold. 14 And you shall enter ta-the Poles in the Rings upon (over) the ribs (sides) of ta-the Ark, to carry (bear, lift up) the Ark on them. 15 The Poles, they shall be in the Rings of the Ark: they shall not be removed [(not depart)] from him. 16 And you shall give to the Ark ta the Testimony (Witness) which I shall give to you.

THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE ARK OF THE TESTIMONY

Gold: Kingdom, Eternal, Perfection

Shittim Wood: Humanity, Scourging, Piercing, Lashing

GENDER:
Ark:
FEMALE
Crown: MALE
Rings: FEMALE
Poles: MALE

According to Wikipedia, a Biblical cubit was eigteen inches.
The Ark in U.S. measurements is 3 feet 9 inches long and 2 feet 3 inches wide and high. This was also called the Ark of the Covenant with the two cherubims on both sides, which is noted by the prophet Samuel in his book

1 Samuel 4:4 And the People sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence ta the Ark of the Covenant of hwhy of Armies (Hosts), which dwelleth between the Cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the Ark of the Covenant of The Elohim. 

The four rings on the four corners is symbolized for the four corners of the earth.

The Ark is symbolized by the Man, Yeshua, being covered with His Eternalness, symbolized by the gold.

In verse sixteen of this week's Torah portion passage, it is related to our word of our testimonies in our walk and relationship with Yeshua, which is noted by the apostle John, in the book of Revelation

Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in Heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the Kingdom of our Elohim, and the power of his Messiah: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our Elohim day and night. 11 And they overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

The Hebrew word for Ark is "Ah-rohn"- Aleph, Resh, Vav, Nun Sophit and Aleph, Resh, Nun Sohpit (
Nwra, Nra). It is from Strong's Concordance number 727, and its definition

Verses seventeen through twenty-one

THE MERCY SEAT

17 And you shall do (make) a Mercy Seat (an Atoning Seat) of pure gold: two and the half cubits [(two cubits and the half)] shall be her length, and a cubit and the half shall be her width. 18 And you shall do (make) two Cherubims of gold, you shall do (make) them of beaten work (hammered work) from the two ends (edges) of the Mercy Seat (Atoning Seat). 19 And do (make) one Cherub from this end (edge), and one Cherub from this end (edge): you shall do (make) ta-the Cherubims upon his two ends (edges) from the Mercy Seat (Atoning Seat) [(from the Mercy Seat (Atoning Seat) upon his two ends (edges))]. 20 And the Cherubims, they shall be spreading (spreading out) their wings by from above, protecting (screening, hedging, defending) among their Wings over (upon) the Mercy Seat (Atoning Seat), and their faces shall be a man to his brother; the faces of the Cherubims, they shall be to the Mercy Seat (Atoning Seat). 21 And you shall give ta-the Mercy Seat (Atoning Seat) upon (over) the Ark from by above (upon); and you shall give ta-the Testimony (Witness) to the Ark which I shall give to you.

THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS FOR THE MERCY SEAT

Gold: Kingdom, Eternal, Perfection

Cherubim: The Two Houses of Israel

GENDER:
Mercy Seat:
FEMALE
Cherubims: MALE

The Mercy Seat in U.S. measurements is 3 feet 9 inches long and 2 feet 3 inches wide.

Because
hwhy's Mercy Seat is pure gold, it symbolizes that His Mercy is "eternal", and King David witnesses to that in the book of the Psalms, many times. But this is one of the chapters which King David noted it more than once

 Psalms 118:1 O give thanks unto hwhy; for He is Good: because His Mercy endureth for ever.

Psalms 118:2 Let Israel now say, that His Mercy endureth for ever.

Psalms 118:3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that His Mercy endureth for ever.

Psalms 118:4 Let them now that fear 
hwhy say, that His Mercy endureth for ever.

Psalms 118:29 O give thanks unto 
hwhy; for He is Good: for His Mercy endureth for ever.


Mercy was also noted in various passages in the Brith Khadashah (the New Covenant)

Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain Mercy.

1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the Elohim and Father of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, which according to His Abundant Mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Yeshua, the Messiah, from the dead,

Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the Love of hwhy, looking for the Mercy of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, unto Eternal Life.

Verse twenty in the Hebrew text of this week's Torah portion passage reveals that the two cherubs are "brothers", which is the Hebrew "akh"- Aleph, Khet (
xa), and they are to "face" each other, and to not bow down. It doesn't say whether they are to bend down or to stand up, neither does it say how tall the cherubim are to supposed to be. It is probable that it is the latter but not at least five feet tall. Otherwise, if they bend down, they would be taking up more space on the cover of the Mercy Seat.

It is my humble but strong opinion, the two cherubim brothers are representations of Two Houses of Israel, consisting the Ten Northern Tribes and the Two Southern Tribes.

Based on Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries notion that in verse twenty of this week's Torah portion passage the Hebrew word for each is "eesh" (
sya) which also means "man". One can also translate this part of the verse as "a man towards his brother". You will see this type of issue occur later on in this week's Torah portion.

Also, in verse twenty of this week's Torah portion passage, it says that the cherubs' wings are to spread above and cover the Mercy Seat. That means their wings are to be big enough to cover roughly the ark's 2 1/2 cubits of her length and 1 1/2 cubits of her width, not little wings going straight across or standing up or one wing down and one wing across. These wings covering over the Mercy Seat symbolizes that 
hwhy's Mercy "covers" us and our sins.

!!!hwhy Kl dbk




Verse twenty two

22 And I will appoint to you there, and I will speak at you from upon (over) the Mercy Seat (Atoning Seat), from between the two Cherubims which are upon (over) the Ark of the Testimony (Witness), ta all which I shall command you to the Sons of Israel.

There is no mention to how hwhy will reveal Himself between the two cherubim. In a physical means, I don't think that hwhy is going to be sitting down on the cover of the Ark with His legs over the side. One possiblity could be that He stands up between the two cherubim. That it why the cherubim's wings are up and over, so that hwhy would be able to stand up. But another possibility, which is a more likely one, is that His Presence exists between the two cherubim.

Though not perfect, this is an example image of the Ark of the Covenant with the Mercy Seat. According to Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries, the Poles are to be located on the sides of the Ark, behind the backs of the cherubims going in an East-West direction. It doesn't show it here.

Ark Of The Covenant And Mercy Seat


This image shows the Poles in the direction according to Mark Biltz

Ark Of The Covenant

If one thinks of it, the Poles are not located on the length side of the Ark, parallel to the cherubim facing each other (facing in a north-south direction based on the Tabernacle's location), in which the Entrance is facing east, but they are on the width end, located behind the back of the cherubim along an east-west direction. hwhy's Presence is on the Ark of the Covenant facing east, and the Ark is located in the Tabernacle facing length ways in the north-south direction, so that hwhy's Presence would "face" the eastern direction toward the Tent's Entrance in order to see Moses and the High Priest as they approach Him when they enter into the Tent. When the Levites carry the Poles as they journey in the wilderness, especially during battles, it is natural for the Poles to be located in a front to back position. If the Poles were located in the length's direction, showing the width of the Ark facing forward and backward, based on its position, hwhy would be facing "sideways", and not seeing what is ahead of the Camp. Whereas the Poles, positioned on the width of the Ark would naturally make hwhy see ahead of the Camp, "facing forward". Otherwise, hwhy would not know what is going on ahead of the Camp if He was looking sideways, if the Ark's width side was facing ahead, and hwhy would be asking Moses, "What's going on ahead of us? I can't see, because I'm facing sideways on this Ark". This argument proves that Mark Biltz's premise is correct. Thank you Mark.



Verses twenty three through twenty eight

THE TABLE OF THE BREAD OF FACES

23 You shall do (make) a Table of trees (wood) shittim (acacia) [shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood]: two cubits shall be his length, and a cubit shall be his width, and a cubit and the half shall be his height. 24 And you shall overlay (sheet over) him of pure gold, and you shall do (make) for him a Crown (Chaplet, Wreath) of gold all around. 25 And you shall do (make) for him a enclosement (shut in form, stronghold) of a hand width (a hand span) all around, and you shall do (make) a Crown (Chaplet, Wreath) of gold to his enclosement (shut in form, stronghold) all around. 26 And you shall do (make) for him four Rings of gold, and you shall give ta-the Rings upon (over) the four mouths (corners) which are for his four feet. 27 By associating (being along with, societizing, huddling together) the enclosements (shut in forms, stronghold), the Rings, they shall be for housings for the Poles to carry (bear, lift up) ta-the Table. 28 And you shall do (make) ta-the Poles of trees (wood) of shittim (acacia) [shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood], and you shall overlay (sheet over) them of gold, and ta-the Table shall be carried (borne, lifted up) on them.

THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE TABLE OF THE BREAD OF FACES

Gold: Kingdom, Eternal, Perfection

Shittim Wood: Humanity, Scourging, Piercing, Lashing
Four Rings: Four Corners of the World
Two Poles: The Cross


GENDER:
Table of the Bread of Faces:
 MALE

Crown: MALE
Rings: FEMALE
Poles: MALE

The Bread of Faces in U.S. measurements is 3 feet long, 1 1/2 wide and 2 feet 3 inches high.


The Table is to have a Crown, or a wreath border, meaning the crowns, or wreaths, and they are representations of the dual crownship of Yeshua being King of the Heavens and the Earth.

Historically, in relation to the Bread of the Faces, King David, though by right was not to partake of the Bread of the Faces, was given the bread by the Priests, which is noted in the book of the prophet Samuel

1 Samuel 21:1 Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech, the Priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee? 2 And David said unto Ahimelech, the Priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of ta-the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed ta-the young men to such and such a place. 3 Now therefore what is under thine hand? Give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present. 4 And the Priest answered ta-David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is Hallowed Bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women. 5 And David answered ta-the Priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are Holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel. 6 So the Priest gave him Hallowed Bread: for there was no bread there but the Bread of Faces, that was taken from before hwhy, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.

Indirectly related, Yeshua used this scripture of David to support His premise, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew

Matthew 12:1 At that time Yeshua went on the Shabbath day through the grain; and His disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of grain, and to eat. 2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto Him, Behold, Thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the Shabbath day. 3 But He said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; 4 How he entered into the House of hwhy, and did eat the Bread of Faces, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the Priests? 5 Or have ye not read in the Torah, how that on the Shabbath days the Priests in the Temple profane the Shabbath, and are blameless? 6 But I say unto you, That in this place is One greater than the Temple. 7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

Yeshua defended David partaking of the Bread of Faces and used the account as a means to defend His Purpose of His Acts of mercy against the Pharisees.

This Table is the place to eat and drink. That is why it is called the Table of the Bread of Faces. The information regarding the bread is noted in the Torah portion of Emor, in the book of Leviticus

Leviticus 24:5 And you shall take flour, and you shall bake of her two ten (twoteen, twelve) cakes, two tenths shall be of the one cake. 6 And you shall set them of two rows, six of the row upon the Pure Table to the Face of hwhy. 7 And you shall give (put) pure frankincense upon the row, and she shall be for the Bread for a Memorial (Remebrance) of a Fire Offering to hwhy. 8 shall arrange him on the day of the Shabbath, on the day of the Shabbath, to the Face of hwhy continually from ta the Sons of Israel: shall be a Covenant of Ages. 9 And she shall belong to (shall be for) Aaron and to (for) his sons; and they shall eat him in the Sacred (Holy) Place: for he is a Sacred of Sacreds (Holy of Holies) to him from the Fire Offerings of hwhy: shall be a Statute of Ages.

The twelve faces of bread are symbols of the twelve tribes of Israel, and the fact that they are placed in two rows, six in each row, reveal an account where the twelve tribes are to go up Mount Ebal and Mount Gerazim, in Shechem, today Nablus, six of each of the tribes on each of the mountain, which is noted in the Torah portion of Ki Thavo, in the book of Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 27:11 And Moses commanded ta-the People in that day, to say, 12 These, they shall stand to bless ta-the People upon Mount Gerizim in your going over ta-the Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin: 13 and these, they shall stand upon the despisement (curse) on Mount Ebal; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

Verse twenty six of this week's Torah portion passage states that the four rings are to be placed at the feet of the Table, meaning around the bottom of the Table's legs. When the Table is raised, the whole Table is exposed high in the air.

The Table of Bread of Faces also compares to Yeshua in the evening of Passover, before He was crucified, at the Passover Supper in the upper room, drinking and eating at the table (the Table of the Bread of Faces) with His twelve disciples (the Twelve Bread of Faces) before Judas betrayed Him. The fact that it was located in the "upper room" is symbolic that it is at a high location, just like the Table was lifted high up, because the Poles that lift it up are located at the feet of the table, which makes the table located at a higher position.


I have yet to see anyone provide an accurate enough image of this Table of the Bread of Faces.

The two Poles could be symbolic of the two sides of the cross that Yeshua carried and was crucified.

In verse twenty seven of this week's Torah portion passage, it shows that the rings are feminine, because in the Hebrew text, the word phrase "they shall be" in this verse, is "tee-h'yeyn"- Tav, Heh, Yod, Yod, Nun Sophit (
Nyyht). The "Yod-Nun" ending in the Hebrew text, with the "Tav" as the prefix, is in the feminine plural- relating to the rings. Thus, the rings are feminine. In the Hebrew culture, only the woman who is betrothed would receive "rings".

Though not the best, this is a rough image of the Table of the Bread of Faces

Table Of The Bread Of Faces

Based on the scripture the Bread is to be set on "rows" meaning "side by side" and not "stacked".

This is an image example of the Bread set in two rows

The Bread Of Faces

Question: Is the Table of the Bread of Faces to contain "legs", or is it like a covered type table with just feet? There is no mention of the table having legs, but it doesn't say that it is solid on the sides either. Is it possible that it is a "solid style" table. We think in general of a table based on general western thought, though it exists worldwide as a plane table having "legs", but as I said, it doesn't say that here. So when it says that they shall put rings on the four corners of the four "feet", it might be giving us the hint that the rings could be located near the feet and that the table is to be lifted up by the poles from near the feet than from near the table plane.



Verses twenty nine and thirty

THE DINNERWARE

29 And you shall do (make) his Plates (Rented Plates, Cut Out Plates, Dishes), and his Spoons (Palmed Spoons), and his Cups (Dense Cups), and his Basins (Bowls of Innocence), which shall be poured (libated) on them: you shall do (make) them of pure gold. 30 And you shall give upon the Table of the Bread of Faces to My Face continually.

THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE DINNERWARE

Gold: Kingdom, Eternal, Perfection

GENDER:
Plates (Rented Plates, Cut Out Plates, Dishes):
 MALE
Spoons (Palmed Spoons): FEMALE
Cups (Dense Cups): MALE
Basins (Bowls of Innocence): MALE

The fact that it contains Cups for drinking and Bowls and Plates for eating, signifies that Yeshua eats and drinks. This also means that we in Yeshua are to partake in this dinner, and this dinner is the symbol of Yeshua's Body (the Bread) and His Blood (the Wine). Yeshua made note of His Body and Blood to the People that He is the Flesh to be eaten and the Blood to be drinking, "the Dinner", which is noted in the Gospel of John

John 6:53 Then Yeshua said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the Flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His Blood, ye have no Life in you. 54 Whoso eateth My Flesh, and drinketh My Blood, hath Eternal Life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For My Flesh is Meat indeed, and My Blood is Drink indeed. 56 He that eateth My Flesh, and drinketh My Bood, dwelleth in Me, and I in him. 57 As the Living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me. 58 This is that Bread which came down from the heavens: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this Bread shall live for ever.

In verse twenty nine of this week's Torah portion passage, the vessels are feminine, for the phrase "on them", in the Hebrew text, it is "bah-heyn"- Bet, Heh, Nun Sophit (
Nhb). It is the feminine of "bah-heym" (Mhb).


Looking at the following words:

PLATE (RENTED PLATE, CUT OUT PLATE, DISH)

The Hebrew word for Plate (Rented Plate, Cut Out Plate, Dish) is "k'ah-rah"- Kuph, Ayin, Resh, Heh (
hreq). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7086, and its definition

Verses thirty-one through thirty six

THE MENORAH

31 And you shall do (make) a Menorah of pure gold: the Menorah, she shall be done (made) of beaten work (hammered work): her Base (Shaft, Trunk, Thigh, Loin, ?Testacle?), and her Branches, her Goblets (Calyxes, Cups), her Knobs (?Wreaths?), and her Flowers (Blooms, Blossoms, Buds), they shall be from her. 32 And six Branches shall go out (come out) from her sides; three Branches of the Menorah from her one side [(the one side from her)], and three Branches of the Menorah from her second side [(the second side from her)]: 33 Three Goblets (Calyxes, Cups) from Almond-Like Shapes, a Knob (?Wreath?), and a Flower shall from her one Branch (the one Branch of her); and three Goblets (Calyxes, Bowls) from Almond-Like Shapes, a Knob (?Wreath?), and a Flower (Bloom, Blossom, Bud) shall be in her one Branch [(the one Branch of her)]: so for the six Branches that are going out (coming out) from the Menorah. 34 And on the Menorah shall be four Almond-Like Shapes, her Knobs (?Wreaths?), and her Flowers (Blooms, Blossoms, Buds). 35 And shall be a Knob (?Wreath?) under two Branches from her, and a Knob (?Wreath?) under two Branches from her, and a Knob (?Wreath?) under two Branches from her, to the six Branches that are going out (coming out) from the Menorah. 36 Their Knobs (?Wreaths?) and their Branches from her, they shall be all of her one of beaten work (hammered work) of pure gold.


THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE MENORAH

Gold: Kingdom, Eternal, Perfection

GENDER:
Menorah:
FEMALE
Shaft, Bowls, Knob, Flower, Branch: FEMALE(?)

Notice that it does not give an idea how high the Menorah is.

In the Hebrew text, the language of this text shows that the Menorah is female- "her". One can see in verse thirty-one of this week's Torah portion passage of all of the times where the feminine is used, as well as the rest of this passage

31 And you shall do (make) a Menorah of pure gold: the Menorah, she shall be made of beaten work (hammered work): her Base (Shaft, Trunk, Thigh, Loin, Testacle?), and her Branches, her Bowls (Calyx, Goblet)her Knobs (?Wreaths?), and her Flowers (Blooms, Buds), they shall be from her.

Looking at the following words:

BASE, (SHAFT, TRUNK, THIGH, LOIN, TESTACLE?)

The Hebrew word for Base (Shaft, Trunk, Thigh, Loin, Testacle?) is "yah-reykh"- Yod, Resh, Khaph Sophit (
Kry). It is from Strong's Concordance number 3409, asn its definition

From an unused root meaning to be soft; the thigh (from its fleshy softness); by euphemism the generative parts; figuratively a shank, flank, side: -  X body, loins, shaft, side, thigh.

 Yareykh means "shaft". It also could be like the trunk of a tree. Also, this the same Hebrew word in relation to "the thighs" or "the loins" or even "the testacles", as exampled in Abraham having his senior servant, Eliezer, to put his hand under his "testacles"- yareykh in Hebrew, where we get the modern English word "rack". We can say that the translation, testicles, can be applied to the Tabernacle.


BRANCH

The Hebrew word for branch is "kah-neh"- Quph, Nun, Heh (
hnq). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7070, and its definition

From H7069; a reed (as erect); by resemblance a rod (especially for measuring), shaft, tube, stem, the radius (of the arm), beam (of a steelyard): - balance, bone, branch, calamus, cane, reed, X spearman, stalk.

from 7069 "kah-nah" (
hnq), and its definition

A primitive root; to erect, that is, create; by extension to procure, especially by purchase (causatively sell); by implication to own: - attain, buy (-er), teach to keep cattle, get, provoke to jealousy, possess (-or), purchase, recover, redeem, X surely, X verily.

Kanah means "branch".


BOWLS (CALYX, GOBLET)

The Hebrew word for Bowls (Calyx, Goblet) is "g'vee-ah"- Gimel, Bet, Yod, Ayin (
eybg). It is from Strong's Concordance number 1375, and its definition

From an unused root (meaning to be convex); a goblet; by analogy the calyx of a flower: - house, cup, pot.

G'vee-ah means "cup", but it can also mean "bowl".


KNOB (?WREATH?)

The Hebrew word for knob (?wreath?) is "kaph-tohr"- Kaph, Peh, Tav, Resh (
rtpk). It is from Strong's Concordance number 3730, and its definition

Probably from an unused root meaning to encircle; a chaplet; but used only in an architectonic sense, that is, the capital of a column, or a wreath like button or disk on the candelabrum: - knop, (upper) lintel.

Kaphtor means "knob". This would be the center of the almond blossom.


FLOWER (BLOOM, BUD)

The Hebrew word for flower  (Bloom, Bud) is "peh-rakh"- Peh, Resh, Khet (
xrp). It is from Strong's Concordance number 6525, and its definition

From H6524; calyx (natural or artificial); generally bloom: - blossom, bud, flower.

from 6524 "pah-rakh" (
xrp), and its definition

A primitive root; to break forth as a bud, that is, bloom; generally to spread; specifically to fly (as extending the wings); figuratively to flourish: -  X abroad, X abundantly, blossom, break forth (out), bud, flourish, make fly, grow, spread, spring (up).

Perakh means "flower". This is the almond blossom.


This Menorah is to be one solid gold piece. There is no wood or other elements included with the Menorah. This means that the Menorah is a kingdom and an eternal piece. It is also commonly accepted that the Menorah is a representation of the Ruakh HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit).

Valerie Moody of her own website, vmoody.com, noted the realization that the seven branches could contain a symbolic meaning, which is the seven Biblical Appointed Times:

1. Passover
2. The Feast of Unleavened Bread
3. The First Counting of The Omer a.k.a. First Fruits.
4. Shavuoth/Pentecost/First Fruits II
5. Yom Teruah (Rosh Hashannah to the Jews)
6. Yom Kippur
7. Sukkoth

As all seven Biblical
Appointed Times work together in unity, so do the seven branches are unified on one piece.

This is an image of the Menorah with the biblical 
Appointed Times on each of the seven branches

Menorah With Biblical Holidays


In verse thirty two of this week's Torah portion passage, it reads that there are three branches on one side and three branches on the other side. The three branches on one side and the three branches on the other side represent the three Biblical Spring 
Appointed Times in symmetry to the three Biblical Fall Appointed Times as the image shows above, with Shavuoth in the center.

Indirectly related, 
hwhy used the almonds and the almond blossoms to reveal the tribe that would be in charge of the Tabernacle, which is noted in the Torah portion of Korakh, in the book of Numbers

Numbers 17:1 And hwhy spoke to Moses, to say, 2 Speak to the Sons of Israel, and shall take a staff (rod, branch) from them, a staff (rod, branch) for the house of the father, from ta all of their rulers by the house of their fathers, two ten (twoteen, twelve) staves (rods, branches): you shall write a man of ta-his name upon his staff (rod, branch). 3 And you shall write ta the name of Aaron upon the staff (rod, branch) of Levi: for one staff (rod, branch) is for the head of the house of their fathers. 4 And you shall rest (deposit) them in the Tent of Appointment to the face of the Testimony (Witness), which I will appoint to you there. 5 And it shall be, the man which I shall choose among him, his staff (rod, branch) shall blossom (bloom, bud, break forth): and I shall allay (pacify) from upon (over) Me ta-the murmurings (grudgings, complaints) of the Sons of Israel, which they, they were with murmuring (grudging, complaining) upon you. 6 And Moses spoke to the Sons of Israel, and all of their rulers, they gave to him a staff (rod, branch) for one ruler, a staff (rod, branch) for one ruler, for the house of their fathers, two ten (twoteen, twelve) staves (rods, branches): and the staff (rod, branch) of Aaron was in the midst of the staves (rods, branches). 7 And Moses rested (deposited) ta-the staves (rods, branches) to the Face of hwhy in the Tent of the Testimony (Witness). 8 And was from the morrow, and Moses came to the Tent of the Testimony (Witness); and behold, the staff (rod, branch) of Aaron for the house of Levi blossomed (bloomed, budded, broke forth), and had came out blossoms (blooms, buds, calyxes), and flourished a flower, and had ripened (yielded) almonds.

The reason the Israelites murmured against Moses, because they still wanted be part of 
hwhy's Original Plan which was for all the men to be Priests. But their rebellion with the golden calf nullified it, and hwhy had to go to plan B, and make only the tribe of Levi to be Priests, and specifically Aaron and his lineage are to only light the Lamps. hwhy used this act to end the matter once and for all.



Verses thirty seven through forty

THE SEVEN LAMPS

37 And you shall do (make) ta-her seven Lamps: and they shall ascend (set up) ta-her Lamps, and shall make light upon over her face. 38 And her Tongs (Tweezers) and her Firepans (Coal Removal Pans, Snuff Dishes) shall be of pure gold. 39 Shall do (make) her ta all of these Vessels of a talent of pure gold, 40 and see and the doing (making) on their Building Patterns which you are seeing on the mountain.

THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE SEVEN LAMPS

Gold: Kingdom, Eternal, Perfection

GENDER:
Lamps:
FEMALE
Tongs (Tweezers): MALE(?)
Firepans (Coal Removal Pans, Snuff Dishes): MALE(?)

Notice that it does not give an idea how big the Lamps are.

The seven Lamps represent the seven spirits of 
hwhy's seven Biblical High Holy Days of the Biblical Year. These seven Lamps are to be kept lit continually, which is noted in the Torah portion of Emor, in the book of Leviticus

Leviticus 24:1 And hwhy spoke to Moses, to say, 2 Command ta-the Sons of Israel that they shall take to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, for the ascending of a lamp continually. 3 from outside by the Veil of the Testimony (Witness), in the Tent of Appointment, Aaron shall arrange him from mixing period (evening) until breaking period (morning) to the Face of hwhy continually: shall be a Statute of Ages for your generations. 4 upon the Pure Menorah shall arrange ta-the Lamps to the Face of hwhy continually.

King David supported this premise that the Word is a lamp and a light, which is noted in the book of the Psalms

Psalms 119:105 Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

There are those that say the Torah was done away with. Not so. They are written in our hearts, which the prophet Jeremiah noted in his book

Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith hwhy, that I will make a New Covenant with ta-the House of Israel, and with ta-the House of Judah: 32 Not according to the Covenant that I made with ta-their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which ta-My Covenant they brake, although I was an Husband unto them, saith hwhy: 33 But this shall be the Covenant that I will make with ta-the House of Israel; After those days, saith hwhy, I will put ta-My Torah in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their Elohim, and they shall be My People.

As the Torah is forever, the Lamps are to be lit forever, meaning the seven lamps- the seven Biblical High Holy Days- are to be kept "forever".

Indirectly related, Yeshua was revealed as the Light, which is in the Gospel of John

John 1:4 In Him was Life; and the Life was the Light of men.

Also in the Brith Khadashah (the New Covenant) Yeshua says that we are the "light of the world", which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew

Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.

Looking at the following words:

TONGS (TWEEZERS)

The Hebrew word for
Tongs (Tweezers) is "mahl-kakh"- Mem, Lamed, Kuph, Khet (xqlm). It is from Strong's Concordance number 4457, and its definition

From H3947; (only in dual) tweezers: - snuffers, tongs.


from 3947 "lah-kakh" (
xql), and its definition

A primitive root; to take (in the widest variety of applications): - accept, bring, buy, carry away, drawn, fetch, get, infold, X many, mingle, place, receive (-ing), reserve, seize, send for, take (away, -ing, up), use, win.



FIREPANS (COAL REMOVAL PANS, SNUFF DISHES)

The Hebrew word for Firepans (Coal Removal Pans, Snuff Dishes) is "makh-tah"- Mem, Khet, Tav, Heh (
htxm). It is from Strong's Concordance number 4289, and its definition

The same as H4288 in the sense of removal; a pan for live coals: - censer, firepan, snuffdish

from 4288 "m'keet-tah" (
htxm), and its definition

From H2846; properly a dissolution; concretely a ruin, or (abstractly) consternation: - destruction, dismaying, ruin, terror.


from 2846 "kha-thah" (htxm), and its definition

A primitive root; to lay hold of; especially to pick up fire: - heap, take (away).


These are the the implication from these items:

Tongs (Tweezers): taken
Firepans (Coal Removal Pans, Snuff Dishes): ruin, dissolution

This implies that one was to be taken to be dissoluted. This was the instance in which the Pharisees took Yeshua to the Roman authorities to have Him dissoluted of saving the people from the Pharisaic doctrines. But we know that it failed, and it has been flourishing for these past 2,000 years.

CHAPTER 26
Exodus 26:1-37

Exo 26:
1
You shall do (make) ta-the Tabernacle of Ten Curtains (Hangings) of twisted (twined, fine) linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), and blue, and purple, and crimson (red) worm [(worm of crimson (red))]: of Cherubims of weaving (a weaver, fabricating, a fabricator, embroidering, an embroiderer, devising, a deviser, interpenetrating, an interpenetrater), you shall do (make) them. 2 The length of the one Curtain (Hanging) shall be eight and twenty on the cubit, and the breadth of the one shall be four on the cubit: one measure shall be for (to) all of the Curtains (Hangings). 3 The five Curtains (Hangings), they shall be joined a woman to her sister; and the five Curtains (Hangings) shall be joined a woman to her sister. 4 And you shall do (make) Loops of blue upon (over) the lip (edge) of the one Curtain (Hanging) from the end (edge) on the joining (juncture, joining point); and so you shall do (make) on the lip (lip side) of the furthest (last) Curtain (Hanging) on the second joining (juncture, joining point). 5 You shall do (make) fifty Loops on the one Curtain (Hanging), and the fifty Loops you shall do (make) in the edge (furthest) of the Curtain (Hanging) that is on the joining (juncture, joining point) of the second; admitting (receiving) the Loops a woman to her sister. 6 And you shall do (make) fifty Buckles (Taches) of gold, and you shall join ta-the Curtains (Hangings) a woman to her sister on the Buckles (Taches): and the Tabernacle shall be one.

(Hangings) you shall do (make) them. 8 The length of the one Curtain (Hanging) shall be thirty on the cubit, and the width of the one  Curtain (Hanging) shall be four on the cubit: one measure for the tenth ten (tenthteen, eleven) Curtains (Hangings). 9 And you shall join ta-the five Curtains (Hanging) by apart, and ta-the six Curtains (Hangings) by apartness, and you shall couple (double) ta-the sixth Curtain (Hanging) to the front (opposite) of the face of the Tent. 10 And you shall do (make) fifty Loops upon (over) the lip (edge) of the one Curtain (Hanging) that is furthest (last) on the  joining (juncture, joining point), and the fifty Loops upon the lip (lip edge) of the Curtain (Hanging) that joins the second. 11 And you shall do (make) fifty Buckles (Taches) of copper, and you shall enter ta-the Buckles (Taches) in the Loops, and you shall join ta-the Tent, and shall be one. 12 And the excess (extension) of the overplus (odd number) among the Curtains (Hangings) of the Tent, the half Curtain (Hanging) of the overplus (odd number), she shall extend over (upon) at the back of the Tabernacle. 13 And the cubit from this, and the cubit from this on the overplus (odd number) in the length of the Curtains (Hangings) of the Tent, shall be extended over (upon) at the sides of the Tabernacle from this and from this to cover (conceal) him.

14 And you shall 
do (make) a Cover (Concealment) for the Tent of skins of rams with reds
 and a Cover (Concealment) from above the skins of

15 And you shall 
do (make) the Boards for the Tabernacle of trees (wood) of shittim (acacia) [shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood] standing up. 16 Ten cubits shall be the length of the Board, and a cubit and the half of the cubit shall be the width of the one Board. 17 Two Pins (Hands) shall be for the one board equidistant a woman to her sister: so you shall do (make) for all of the Boards of the Tabernacle.

18 And you shall 
do (make) the Boards for the Tabernacle, twenty Boards for the negev (south) mouth (end) rightward (southward). 19 And you shall do (make) forty Sockets of silver under the twenty Boards; two Sockets shall be under the one Board for two of his Pins (Hands), and two Sockets shall be under the one Board for two of his Pins (Hands).

Verses one through six

THE TEN CURTAINS (THE FIRST CURTAIN)

1 You shall do (make) ta-the Tabernacle of Ten Curtains (Hangings) of twisted (twined, fine) linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), and blue, and purple, and crimson (red) worm [(worm of crimson (red))]: of Cherubims of weaving (a weaver, fabricating, a fabricator, embroidering, an embroiderer, devising, a deviser, interpenetrating, an interpenetrater), you shall do (make) them. 2 The length of the one Curtain (Hanging) shall be eight and twenty on the cubit, and the breadth of the one shall be four on the cubit: one measure shall be for (to) all of the Curtains (Hangings). 3 The five Curtains (Hangings), they shall be joined a woman to her sister; and the five Curtains (Hangings) shall be joined a woman to her sister. 4 And you shall do (make) Loops of blue upon (over) the lip (edge) of the one Curtain (Hanging) from the end (edge) on the joining (juncture, joining point); and so you shall do (make) on the lip (lip side) of the furthest (last) Curtain (Hanging) on the second joining (juncture, joining point). 5 You shall do (make) fifty Loops on the one Curtain (Hanging), and the fifty Loops you shall do (make) in the edge (furthest) of the Curtain (Hanging) that is on the joining (juncture, joining point) of the second; admitting (receiving) the Loops a woman to her sister. 6 And you shall do (make) fifty Buckles (Taches) of gold, and you shall join ta-the Curtains (Hangings) a woman to her sister on the Buckles (Taches): and the Tabernacle shall be one.

THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE TEN CURTAINS

Fine linen: Righteousness (source: maranathalife.com)
Gold: Eternity
Blue: Heaven
Purple: Royalty
Crimson Worm (Scarlet): Blood
Cherubim: Heavenly Host and Heavenly Existence
Fifty: The Jubilee Year/
hwhy's Fifty Year Cycle

GENDER:
Curtains: FEMALE
Loops: FEMALE
Buckles: MALE

Each of the Ten Curtains, 
in U.S. measurements is 42 feet long and 6 feet wide.

These united ten joined curtains was the first item mentioned to be made for the Tent of Appointment. This indicates that each of the ten curtains are representations of each of the Ten Words (Commandments). The First Five Words (Commandments) are the vertical relationship with 
hwhy, and the Second Five Words (Commandments) are the horizontal relationship with mankind. The Ten Words (Commandments) is to be the first set of Commandments applied in our lives in our relationship with hwhy, our Heavenly Father, in the Messiah, by the Ruakh HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit, as compared to the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. Also, these ten curtains are feminine, because they represent the Ten Words (Commandments) and apply to our soul which I have noted in past Torah portions is feminine.

The fifth curtain is symbolized to the Fifth Word (Commandment) which was the end of one of the united five junctures to the sixth curtain, which symbolizes the Sixth Word (Commandment). These Two Words (Commandments) are the connecting factors from the horizontal relationship of mankind to the vertical relationship with 
hwhy. In my Torah portion commentary of Yithro, I noted that these Two Words (Commandments) are known as the Bridge Words (Commandments).

Looking at the following words:

FURTHER

The Hebrew word for further is "kee-tson"- Kuph, Yod, Tsade, Vav, Nun Sophit (
Nwuyq). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7020, and its definition

From H6972; terminal: - out- (utter-) most.

from 6972 "koots" (
Uwq), and its definition

A primitive root; to clip off; used only as denominative from H7019; to spend the harvest season: - summer.

from 7019 "kah-yeets" (
Uyq), and its definition

From H6972; harvest (as the crop), whether the product (grain or fruit) or the (dry) season: - summer (fruit, house).

This word "furthest" is based on the root word meaning "summer", as in the furthest point of the sun in the sky throughout the year. But it also means "harvest", meaning, in relation to the Ten Words (Commandments) that the last of the First Five Words (Commandments) in one's relationship to 
hwhy in which the Fifth Word (Commandment) regarding the father and mother are the "furthest" in connection to the Last Five Words (Commandments) through one's righteous relationship with mankind in its connection to the Sixth Word (Commandment) by "harvesting" each other together, because it is the parents who will harvest the children's fruits by the children's actions toward mankind, but the children also harvest their parents' training and upbringing, which is based in king Solomon's book of Proverbs

Proverbs 22:6 Train (Discipline) to a young boy upon the mouth of his direction (way): also when he grows old, will not turn away from her.

Also, as believers and followers in Yeshua, we were far away from Him until He came to reestablish the Heavens-Earth connection with Him, so that we can be close to Him.

!!!hwhy Kl dbk

EDGE

The Hebrew word for edge is "kah-tsah"- Kuph, Tsade, Heh (
huq). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7097, and its definition

The second form is negative only; from H7096; an extremity (used in a great variety of applications and idioms; compare H7093): -    X after, border, brim, brink, edge, end, [in-] finite, frontier, outmost coast, quarter, shore, (out-) side, X some, ut (-ter-) most (part).

from 7096 "kah-tsah" (
huq), and its definition

A primitive root; to cut off; (figuratively) to destroy; (partially) to scrape off: - cut off, cut short, scrape (off).

from 7093 "koots" (
Uq), and its definition

Contracted from H7112; an extremity; adverbially (with prepositional prefix) after: -  + after, (utmost) border, end, [in-] finite, X process.

from 7112 "kah-tsats" (
Uuq), and its defintion

A primitive root; to chop off (literally or figuratively): - cut (asunder, in pieces, in sunder, off), X utmost.

In my opinion, these two translated words are related to each other, becuase they are similar in the Hebrew spelling.

This last translated word's definition above, explains the circumstance of the Ten Words (Commandments) that the "edge" of the First Five Words (commandments) are at the "edge" of their vertical point, and the edge of the Last Five Words (Commandments) are at the "edge" of their horizontal point. By the way, these two Hebrew words are where we get our modern English word "cut", as in "cutting off", or cutting to end something.

It shows that they are to be "joined" with gold buckles. The symbol for gold is "eternal", The buckles connect the two sets of the five words (commandments) and makes them "eternal". This is the similar way in our relationship with our Heavenly Father. As it is written by the apostle Paul to the assembly in Rome

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of hwhy;

Without 
hwhy, our Heavenly Father, we just have the Last Five Words (Commandments) and the Fourth Word (Commandment) in honoring our father and mother. But there is no relationship with hwhy, and thus we don't have an "eternal relationship", and are missing some of the Ten Words (Commandments), and are not complete. We can't relate to the First Five Words (Commandments) without something, or "Someone" who is "Eternal", and that is where Yeshua "the Eternal One" comes to be the symbolic "Eternal Golden Buckle" to "connect" the Last Five Words (Commandments) to the First Five Words (Commandments) where we can have a "relationship" with hwhy, our Heavenly Father, through Yeshua the Messiah, via the Ruakh HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit) and thus makes the completion of the Ten Words (Commandments).

As noted above, the color blue is symbolic of heaven. When the fifty loops of blue are attached to each of the curtains, it symbolizes that heaven is connected to each of the Ten Words (Commandments) to connect between the heavens and the earth, which is based in the Torah portion of B'reyshith, in the book of Genesis

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, Elohim created ta the Heavens and ta-the Earth.

Thus the blue loops provide "the Heavens-Earth" connection.

Notice also in this week's Torah portion passage that it says in verse three "her sister piece". It is in the Hebrew text "ah-khah-thah" (
htxa), in which the Heh with the dot in it empahsizes the female suffix "her", and "akhath" literaly means "sister". That means each of the sister pieces of the ten curtains tells us that each of the symbolic Ten Words (Commandments) are "sisters", because each Word (Commandment) is "female" and relate to our souls which are also feminine. Our souls need to submit to hwhy through these Ten Words (Commandments). Notice that this week's Torah portion passage also states that hwhy says in verse three that they are to attach five curtains to the other five curtains. As I noted earlier, The First Five Words (Commandments) are the Vertical Words (Commandments) referring to hwhy, which are "the vertical sisters", and the Last Five Words (Commandments) are the Horizontal Words (Commandments) referring to mankind, which are "the horizontal sisters". Yeshua summarized them to two commandments, which I will reveal, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew

Matthew 22:36 Master, which is the Great Commandment in the Torah? 37 Yeshua said unto him, Thou shalt love hwhy, thy Elohim, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind [The First Five Words (Commandments)]. 38 This is the First and Great Commandment. 39 And the Second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself [The Second Five Words (Commandments)]. 40 On these Two Commandments hang all of the Torah and the Prophets.

The Ten Words (Commandments) are part of the Torah, and the Torah is feminine.

 
In verse three of this week's Torah portion passage, in the Hebrew text phrase, as in Exodus 25:27,  "they shall be" is "tee-h'yeyn" (
Nyyht), Thus, the "sister" curtains are feminine.

This also reveals that the connected curtains are placed from front to back. It also symbolizes that The Ten Words (Commandments) are connected one to another, and they work together for one purpose. As Frank Sinatra sang the words "You can't have one without the other". Also Billy Graham stated in one of his crusades "If you break one commandment, you break all of them". If one curtain is disconnected then the whole curtain is disconnected.

The fact that it contains cherubim tell us this is a heavenly existence. It doesn't say how many cherubims there were on the curtains, whether one cherubims per curtain, two cherubims, three cherubims, or more. It is just a guess, most of the images I have seen show two, probably based on the two cherubims on the Ark of the Covenant.

Looking at the word CURTAIN (HANGING)

The Hebrew word for curtain (hanging) is "y'ree-ah"- Yod, Resh, Yod, Ayin, Heh (heyry). It is from Strong's Concordance number 3407, and its definition

From H3415; a hanging (as tremulous): - curtain.

from 3415 "yah-rah" 
(ery), and its definition

A primitive root; properly to be broken up (with any violent action), that is, (figuratively) to fear: - be grievous [only Isa_15:4; the rest belong to H7489].


Notice that it is similar to this Hebrew word:

from 3384 "yah-rah" (hry, ary), and its definition

A primitive root; properly to flow as water (that is, to rain); transitively to lay or throw (especially an arrow, that is, to shoot); figuratively to point out (as if by aiming the finger), to teach: -  (+) archer, cast, direct, inform, instruct, lay, shew, shoot, teach (-er, -ing), through.


This latter Hebrew root word is the same root word that the Hebrew words "Torah" (
hrwt) and "Moreh" (hrwm) comes from. One could possibly say that indirectly the Torah was applied to the Tabernacle.

The Torah also based on the translation "breaks in" for us is a means to "break us" into obeying it, like a baseball player breaking in a new glove to soften it with a creamy oil substance and bending it around to make it fit comfortably in our hands, and to function and adjust it to get a better grip.

Looking at the word CUBIT

The Hebrew word for cubit is "ah-mah"- Aleph, Mem, Heh (hma). It is from Strong's Concordance number 520, and its definition

Prolonged from H517; properly a mother (that is, unit) of measure, or the forearm (below the elbow), that is, a cubit; also a door base (as a bond of the entrance): - cubit, + hundred [by exchange for H3967], measure, post.

from 517 "ahm" 
(ma), and its definition

A primitive word; a mother (as the bond of the family); in a wide sense (both literally and figuratively); (like H1): - dam, mother, X parting.

Any measurement is of "the mother". So listen to your mama.

Indirectly related this Hebrew root word can be compared to Yeshua as the Mother Hen, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew

Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

In this week's Torah portion passage, the word for each is "ee-shah"- Aleph, Shin, Heh (hsa) which is the feminine form of "eesh"- Aleph, Yod, Shin (sya). Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries noted that this Hebrew word can also be translated as "woman". Hence the phrase can be translated, "a woman to her sister". Thank you Mark.

Regarding the blue loops, blue is symbolic of the heavens. What about the amount of loops per side- fifty? What is its symbolic meaning? We know that fifty is the amount of years to the Jubilee year. One could say that the fifty loops is a type of hwhy's Fifty Year Jubilee Cycle. It is also known that Jubilee is an act of restoration, which is noted in the Torah portion of B'har, in the book of Leviticus

Leviticus 25:10 And you shall sanctify the year, ta the fiftieth year, and you shall call out (proclaim) liberty in the land to all of her dwellers: she, she shall be a Jubilee for yourselves; and you shall return a man to his seizing (holding, property), and you shall return a man to his family. 11 The Jubilee, she shall be the fiftieth year [(the fiftieth year, she shall be)], a year she shall be to yourselves: You shall not seed (sow), and you shall not reap (harvest) ta-her aftergrowth, and you shall not clip off ta-her unkept vines (undressed vines, set apart vines). 12 For she is the Jubilee; she shall be Sacred (Holy) to yourselves: you shall eat ta-her produce from the field. 13 In the year of this Jubilee, you shall return a man to his seizing (holding, property).

These activities in the Tabernacle could be an act of a "Jubilaic restoration" between 
hwhy and the Israelites as well as the restoration between the heavens and the earth through hwhy, the representative of Heaven on Earth.

This could be a possible pattern example of what the ten curtains would have looked like

The Ten Curtains



Verses seven through thirteen

THE SECOND CURTAIN

7 And you shall do (make) Curtains (Hangings) of kid goats for a Tent over (upon) the Tabernacle: tenth ten (thenthteen, eleven) Curtains (Hangings) you shall do (make) them. 8 The length of the one Curtain (Hanging) shall be thirty on the cubit, and the width of the one  Curtain (Hanging) shall be four on the cubit: one measure for the tenth ten (tenthteen, eleven) Curtains (Hangings). 9 And you shall join ta-the five Curtains (Hanging) by apart, and ta-the six Curtains (Hangings) by apartness, and you shall couple (double) ta-the sixth Curtain (Hanging) to the front (opposite) of the face of the Tent. 10 And you shall do (make) fifty Loops upon (over) the lip (edge) of the one Curtain (Hanging) that is furthest (last) on the  joining (juncture, joining point), and the fifty Loops upon the lip (lip edge) of the Curtain (Hanging) that joins the second. 11 And you shall do (make) fifty Buckles (Taches) of copper, and you shall enter ta-the Buckles (Taches) in the Loops, and you shall join ta-the Tent, and shall be one. 12 And the excess (extension) of the overplus (odd number) among the Curtains (Hangings) of the Tent, the half Curtain (Hanging) of the overplus (odd number), she shall extend over (upon) at the back of the Tabernacle. 13 And the cubit from this, and the cubit from this on the overplus (odd number) in the length of the Curtains (Hangings) of the Tent, shall be extended over (upon) at the sides of the Tabernacle from this and from this to cover (conceal) him.

THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE SECOND CURTAIN

Goat's Hair: Prophecy (source: maranathalife.com) [also could be purity]
Blue:
Heaven

Fifty: The Jubilee Year
Copper: Man, Judgment, Suffering-(source: maranathalife.com)
Fifty: The Jubilee Year/hwhy's Fifty Year Cycle

GENDER:
Curtains: FEMALE
Loops: FEMALE
Buckles: MALE

Each of the Eleven Curtains in U.S. measurements is 45 feet long and 6 feet wide.

A theory to why there were eleven curtains was that Levi was the one tribe that was doing the Priestly Duties for the Tabernacle, and the rest were the twelve tribes (Manasseh and Ephraim were of the one tribe of Joseph), hence the "thirteen tribes". The overlapping curtain would symbolicly be "the Levitical curtain".

Notice in this week's Torah portion passage that it did not specify any color of the goats hair. It is possible that the goats' skins could be of any color or shape. This is most likely based on the account of Jacob taking the spotted, speckled and variegated goats, which is noted in the Torah portion of Vay-Yeytsey, in the book of Genesis

Genesis 30:28 And he said, Specify your wages upon me, and I will give her. 29 And said to him, You, you know ta that I have served you, and ta that your livestock has been with me. 30 For little which had to you was to my face and has increased (spread out) for a multitude; and hwhy has blessed you to my feet: and now when shall I do, also I, for my house? 31 And said, What shall I give to you? And Jacob said, You shall not give to me anything: If you will do for me this word; I will return, I will tend, and I will keep (guard) your flock: 32 I will go over among all of your flock the day (today) of the removing from there every spotted and variegated lamb, and every brown (black) lamb among the sheep, and variegated and spotted among the kid goats: and these shall be my wages. 33 And shall eye her on me my righteousness in the day to come [(in the latter day)] when you come upon my wages to your face of all that are not spotted and variegated among the kid goats, and brown (black) among the sheep, he shall be stolen with me.

These various kinds of goats are symbolic of the various kinds of peoples in the earth as the phrase of a Christian song says "Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight".

Also notice they used fifty loops, which is also symbolized for the fiftieth year of the Jubilee.

Looking at the word BUCKLE (TACHE)

The Hebrew word for buckle (tache) is "keh-rehs"- Kuph, Resh,  Sameck (orq). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7165, and its definition

From H7164; a knob or belaying pin (from its swelling form): - tache.

from 7164 "kah-rahs" 
(orq), and its definition

A primitive root; properly to protrude; used only as denominative from H7165 (for alliteration with H7167), to hunch, that is, be humpbacked: - stoop.


Buckles (Taches) are another word for hooks.

Copper is a symbol of judgment and suffering, because 
hwhy is the Judge, and Yeshua manifested Himself later to be "the Suffering Servant". The fifty loops of judgment attaching the fifty heavenly loops. So symbolically these combination makes the phrase that hwhy is the Jubilaic Heavenly Judge of The Ten Words (Commandments). Also, copper symbolizes man, which would represent Yeshua, "the Man".

In verse thirteen of this week's Torah portion passage, it states that both ends are to droop over the edge for one cubit, which is eighteen inches. That is in Biblical measurement the length from the forearm, which is from the elbow to the end of the middle finger of the hand. In general, it will cover beyond the roof. In a way, it is like saying that 
hwhy has "both arms" over both ends of the Tabernacle.


Looking at the word FRONT (OPPOSITE)

The Hebrew word for front (opposite) is "mohl"- Mem, Vav Lamed (lwm). It is from Strong's Concordance number 4136, and its definition

From H4135; properly abrupt, that is, a precipice; by implication the front; used only adverbially (with prepositional prefix) opposite: - (over) against, before, [fore-] front, from, [God-] ward, toward, with.

from 4135 "mool" 
(lwm), and its definition

A primitive root; to cut short, that is, curtail (specifically the prepuce, that is, to circumcise); by implication to blunt; figuratively to destroy: - circumcise (-ing, selves), cut down (in pieces), destroy, X must needs.


Notice that it also translates as "circumcise". This is when it says "to the front (opposite)", it's an act of circumcising one's self to the approaching of the second curtain.


This is a rough image example of the Curtain of the Goat's Hair

Curtain Of Goats Hair



Verse fourteen

THE THIRD AND FOURTH CURTAINS (COVERINGS)

14 And you shall do (make) a Cover (Concealment) for the Tent of skins of rams with reds
 and a Cover (Concealment) from above the skins of 
clean animals, (kosher animals, antelopes, dugongs, ?badgers?).

THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE THIRD AND FOURTH CURTAINS/COVERINGS

Rams Skins: Sacrificial (source: maranathalife.com)
Kosher Animal Skins: Sacrificial (source: maranathalife.com)
Red: Blood

GENDER: FEMALE(?)

There is no measurement mentioned for these coverings.

According to a blog on scripturestudies.spruz.com, it noted that the rams and its blood were used as part of the ceremony to consecrate the Priests for their Priesthood, which is noted in the Torah portion of Tsav, in the book of Leviticus

Leviticus 8:22 And brought near ta-the second ram, the Ram of Consecration Offering (Fulfilling Offering): and Aaron and his sons, they suported (laid) ta-their hands upon the head of the ram 23 and was slaughtered; and Moses took from his blood, and gave upon the tip of right ear of Aaron, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the thumb (big toe) of his right foot. 24 And brought near ta-the sons of Aaron, and Moses gave the blood upon the tip of their right ear,

The rams' skins dyed red is symbolic of Yeshua who was sacrificed, and His Blood completely covered His Body.

The translations in the English Bibles commonly translated these type of skins as "Badger's skins", but other interpretations say blue skins, taxus skins (not Texas) or dugong skins, goat skins, seal skins, and leather, as well as antelope skins. One thing that I will say is in my humble but strong opinion that it is not from the badger or the antelope. The badger is not a kosher animal, and though the antelope is a kosher animal, it is not an animal to be brought to the Tabernacle/Temple to be sacrificed, which is based in the Torah portion of R'ey, in the book of Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 12:15 Only in all of your gates you shall sacrifice in all of the pleasure (lust, desire) of your soul, and you shall eat flesh according to [(as)] the Blessing of hwhy, your Elohim, which was given to you: the unclean and the clean shall eat him, as of the gazelle (roebuck), and as of the hart (stage, deer).

This would include the antelope which is also clean and unclean. It is clean and kosher, because it splits the hoof and chews the cud. But it is unclean and not kosher, because it is not a domesticated animal to be sacrificed at the Tabernacle/Temple.

Looking at the word CLEAN ANIMALS (KOSHER ANIMALS, ANTELOPES, DUGONGS, ?BADGERS?)

The Hebrew word for clean animals, (kosher animals, antelopes, dugongs, ?badgers?) is "tah-khash"- Tet, Khet, Shin (
sxt). It is from Strong's Concordance number 8476, and its definition

Probably of foreign derivation; a (clean) animal with fur, probably a species of antelope: - badger.

In the Paleo-Hebrew the picture for each letter: Tav is a cross, Khet is a ladder, and Shin is teeth. The outer skins were symbolically this

"The Cross that Is the Stairway to the teeth- or the grasping (of Heaven)"

There is no clear understanding to how this Hebrew word translates, but there is a Hebrew word that could be connected to this one:

from 2814 "khah-shah"- Khet, Shin, Heh (hsx), and its definition

A primitive root; to hush or keep quiet: - hold peace, keep silence, be silent, (be) still.


Yeshua was tried and crucified while mostly "holding His Peace" throughout most of His last day of physical life.

!!!hwhy Kl dbk


It was part of the Tent to the Tablernacle where all the inside major hardware is located, and now as it has just been revealed to me, knowing the fact that Yeshua is symbolic of these Tabernacle items, the fourth curtain would have to be a kosher skin and also would have to be a skin from a domesticated animal, like the skins from the goats, rams, and lambs, but possibly not an antelope. Based in the Torah, an antelope is kosher, but it is not a domesticated animal that can be sacrificed at the Tabernacle/Temple to atone for someone meaning that it is not kosher for sacrifice. However, these are "skins", which means that they maintain the skin part of the animal which would make them naturally waterproof.


This is an image example of rams skins dyed red
(Note: This image is a real ram skin multiplied over)

This is an image example of antelope skins, which is most likely not the skins used as commented earlier.

Verses fifteen through seventeen

THE BOARDS AND PINS

15 And you shall do (make) the Boards for the Tabernacle of trees (wood) of shittim (acacia) [shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood] standing up. 16 Ten cubits shall be the length of the Board, and a cubit and the half of the cubit shall be the width of the one Board. 17 Two Pins (Hands) shall be for the one board equidistant a woman to her sister: so you shall do (make) for all of the Boards of the Tabernacle.

THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE BOARDS AND PINS

Shittim Wood: Humanity, also could be Scourging and Piercing and Lashing

Silver: Redemption

Each of the Boards, in U.S. measurements is 15 feet long and 2 feet 3 inches wide.

Shittim wood is also known as acacia wood. The following text is from www.gotquestions.org regarding acacia trees

"From a practical standpoint, acacia trees would have been the one of the only types of trees growing in the wilderness regions traveled by Israel. In addition, acacia wood is dense and extremely strong, making it a great option for any type of wooden construction". 


It is strong and durable wood. That is why 
hwhy used it for the Tabernacle, because it is able to endure holding up the four heavy skins that are going over them while they are standing up.

Looking at the word BOARD

In verse fifteen, the Hebrew word for board is "keh-resh"- Kuph, Resh, Shin (
srq). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7175, and its definition

From an unused root meaning to split off; a slab or plank; by implication a deck of a ship: - bench, board.

 This is where we get our modern English "crash" or it could be "crush".


In verse seventeen in the Hebrew text of this week's Torah portion passage, the word for each is "ee-shah"- Aleph, Shin, Heh (
hsa) which is the feminine form of "eesh"- Aleph, Yod, Shin (sya). Mark Biltz revealed that this Hebrew word can also be translated as "woman". Hence the phrase can be translated, "a woman to her sister". Thank you Mark.

Looking at the word PIN (HAND)

The Hebrew word for pin (hand) is "yahd"- Yod, Dalet (
dy). It is from Strong's Concordance number 3027, and its definition

A primitive word; a hand (the open one (indicating power, means, direction, etc.), in distinction from H3709, the closed one); used (as noun, adverb, etc.) in a great variety of applications, both literally and figuratively, both proximate and remote: -    (+ be) able, X about, + armholes, at, axletree, because of, beside, border, X bounty, + broad, [broken-] handed, X by, charge, coast, + consecrate, + creditor, custody, debt, dominion, X enough, + fellowship, force, X from, hand [-staves, -y work], X he, himself, X in, labour, + large, ledge, [left-] handed, means, X mine, ministry, near, X of, X order, ordinance, X our, parts, pain, power, X presumptuously, service, side, sore, state, stay, draw with strength, stroke, + swear, terror, X thee, X by them, X them-selves, X thine own, X thou, through, X throwing, + thumb, times, X to, X under, X us, X wait on, [way-] side, where, + wide, X with (him, me, you), work, + yield, X your-selves.

This is the common Hebrew word for
"hand". Since two pins were used to hold the board, it was like "two hands" for each board, meaning the boards are feminine, and as I noted in previous Torah portions, the hand is feminine. We can say that the hand was applied to the Tabernacle.

Looking at the word DISTANT

The Hebrew word for distant is "shah-lahv"- Shin, Lamed, Bet (
bls). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7947, and its definition

A primitive root; to space off; intensively (evenly) to make equidistant: - equally distant, set in order.

This is where we get our modern English word "slab", as a "slab of wood".



Verses eighteen through twenty two

18 And you shall do (make) the Boards for the Tabernacle, twenty Boards for the negev (south) mouth (end) rightward (southward). 19 And you shall do (make) forty Sockets of silver under the twenty Boards; two Sockets shall be under the one Board for two of his Pins (Hands), and two Sockets shall be under the one Board for two of his Pins (Hands).

20 And for the second rib (side) of the Tabernacle for the hidden (north) mouth (end) shall be twenty Boards: 21 And their forty Sockets shall be of silver; two Sockets shall be under the one Board, and two Sockets shall be under the one Board.

22 And for the rear sides (thighs, sides, ?testicles?) of the Tabernacle seaward (westward), you shall make six Boards.


THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE SOCKETS

Sockets: Foundation = Yeshua

Silver: Redemption

GENDERMALE

The two sockets are symbolic of the Two Houses of Israel. It is the female end of the connectors. They are located on the floor. It is stronger than gold, and it is the only other metal that has a positive means of purity.

Looking at the word SOCKETS

The Hebrew word for sockets is "eh-dehn"- Aleph, Dalet, Nun Sophit (
Nda). It is from Strong's Concordance number 134, and its definition

From the same as H113 (in the sense of strength); a basis (of a building, a column, etc.): - foundation, socket.

from 113 "ah-dohn" (
Nda), and its definition

From an unused root (meaning to rule); sovereign, that is, controller (human or divine): - lord, master, owner. Compare also names beginning with “Adoni-”.

The socket is based on the definition, "lord". In other words, it symbolically reveals us as believers that our "Lord", who is "Yeshua", is the Foundation that supports, or "rules", the structure of our lives, and our Lord was applied to the Tabernacle.

!!!hwhy Kl dbk

As I noted above, the Hebrew word for tenons is the "yahd"- Yod, Dalet (dy). It is the English word, "hand". So when it says two tenons, they are two hands. These are the ones attached to the boards.

Looking at the word MOUTH (SIDE)

The Hebrew word for mouth (side) is "pey-ah"- Peh, Aleph, Heh (
hap). It is from Strong's Concordance number 6285, and its definition

Feminine of H6311; properly mouth in a figurative sense, that is, direction, region, extremity: - corner, end, quarter, side.

from 6311 "poh" (
hp, apwp), and its definition

Probably from a primitive inseparable particle פּ p (the second form; of demonstrative force) and H1931; this place (French, icil), that is, here or hence: - here, hither, the one (other, this, that) side.


This is the same Hebrew word for the translation, "mouth". The mouth is applied to this Tabernacle.


Looking at the word RIB (SIDE)

The Hebrew word for rib (side) is "tsah-lah" and "tsey-lah"- Tsade, Lamed, Ayin, Heh; 
Tsade, Lamed, Ayin (heluelu). It is from Strong's Concordance number 6763, and its definition

From H6760; a rib (as curved), literally (of the body) or figuratively (of a door, that is, leaf); hence a side, literally (of a person) or figuratively (of an object or the sky, that is, quarter); arcitecturally a timber (especially floor or ceiling) or plank (single or collectively, that is, a flooring): - beem, board, chamber, corner, leaf, plank, rib, side (chamber).

from 6760 "tsah-lah" (
elu), and its definition

A primitive root; probably to curve; used only as denominative from H6763, to limp (as if one sided): - halt.


This Hebrew word is also translated "rib". The rib is applied to this Tabernacle/Temple.

This is an image example of the tenons and the sockets

Tenons And Sockets

The north and south sides are to have twenty boards each, and the west is to have six boards each. The wood is symbolic of humanity.


Looking at the word REAR SIDES (THIGHS, SIDES, ?TESTACLES?)

The Hebrew word for rear sides (
thighs, sides, ?testicles?) is "y'rey-khah"- Yod, Resh, Kaph, Heh (hkry). It is from Strong's Concordance number 3411, and its definition

Feminine of H3409; properly the flank; but used only figuratively, the rear or recess: - border, coast, part, quarter, side.

from 3409 "yah-reykh" (
Kry), and its definition

From an unused root meaning to be soft; the thigh (from its fleshy softness); by euphemism the generative parts; figuratively a shank, flank, side: -  X body, loins, shaft, side, thigh.


This Hebrew root word could also translate as "testacles". One can say that the testicles were applied to the Tabernacle.

This is an example image of the boards, tenons and sockets put together, compared in size to an average human being

Verses twenty three through twenty five

THE CORNER BOARDS

23 And two Boards you shall do (make) for the Corners (Angles) of the Tabernacle in the two thighs (rear thighs, rear sides, sides, ?testicles?). 24 And they shall be completed (twinned) from below (beneath), and they shall be completed (twinned) united (together) upon (over) his Head (Chapiter) to the one Ring: so shall be for both of them; they shall be for the two Corners (Angles). 25 And they shall be eight Boards, and their Sockets shall be of silver, six ten (sixteen) Sockets; two Sockets shall be under the one Board, and two Sockets shall be under the one Board.

Shittim Wood: Humanity, also could be Scourging and Piercing and Lashing
Sockets: Foundation = Yeshua
Silver: Redemption

GENDER:
Boards: MALE
Pins: FEMALE
Sockets: MALE

SYMBOLISM TO YESHUA: Stripped/Scraped

Looking at the word BELOW (BENEATH)

Looking at verse twenty four of this week's Torah portion passage, the Hebrew word for beneath is "maht-tah"- Mem, Tet, Heh (
hjm). It is from Strong's Concordance number 4295, and its definition

From H5786 with directive enclitic appended; downward, below or beneath; often adverbially with or without prefixes: - beneath, down (-ward), less, very low, under (-neath).

But looking at
Strong's Concordance number 5786, the word is "ah-var", meaning "to blind", or "put out". This is confusing and does not make sense.

Looking at Strong's number 4294, "maht-tah" (
hjm), and its definition

From H5186; a branch (as extending); figuratively a tribe; also a rod, whether for chastising (figuratively correction), ruling (a sceptre), throwing (a lance), or walking (a staff; figuratively a support of life, for example bread): - rod, staff, tribe.

from 5186 "naht-tah" (
hjn), and its definiton

A primitive root; to stretch or spread out; by implication to bend away (including moral deflection); used in a great variety of applications: -    + afternoon, apply, bow (down, -ing), carry aside, decline, deliver, extend, go down, be gone, incline, intend, lay, let down, offer, outstretched, overthrown, pervert, pitch, prolong, put away, shew, spread (out), stretch (forth, out), take (aside), turn (aside, away), wrest, cause to yield.


It would make sense that the corner boards were used as an extended support to strengthen the corners. The eight boards would give each of the four corners, two boards each, extra strength to hold the corner better, and it would give better support for the Tabernacle Wall. These boards are to be located "inside" the wall, which will be explained in the next Tabernacle items. Notice that this Hebrew word also translates as "rod" and "staff". We can say that the rod or the staff was applied to this Tabernacle. We can also say that this implies to Yeshua's staff symbolically as the "cross".

!!!hwhy Kl dbk

These four corner boards symbolizes the four corners of the earth. One source of the four corners of the earth, which is noted by the prophet Ezekiel in his book

Ezekiel 7:2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith Adonai hwhy unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.

Another source is in the Brith Khadashah (the New Covenant), which is noted by the apostle John in the book of Revelation

Revelations 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

This is a skeletal sketch example of the corner boards' location for one corner




This is a sketch of the top of what the Corner Boards possibly look like assembled




The Hebrew word "mattah" is also the same word for "staff". This is not the same Hebrew word for below (beneath) as the common Hebrew word for this translation "tah-khath" (txt). That means there are four staffs, one for each corner of the Tabernacle. These "staffs" are symbolic in which hwhy bears a staff for each of the four corners of the world, and it could also include the four corners of the land of Israel. This is again what the prophet Ezekiel prophesied of Israel, which is noted in his book

Ezekiel 7:2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith Adonai hwhy unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.

Though the prophet Ezekiel did not say it, but like the four corner beams that supported the wall beams of the Tabernacle,
hwhy was removing "His Staff" supporting the four corners of the land of Israel, leaving the borders of the land unsupported, vulnerable and unprotected.



Verses twenty six through thirty

THE BARS

23 And two Boards you shall do (make) for the Corners (Angles) of the Tabernacle in the two thighs (rear thighs, rear sides, sides, ?testicles?). 24 And they shall be completed (twinned) from below (beneath), and they shall be completed (twinned) united (together) upon (over) his Head (Chapiter) to the one Ring: so shall be for both of them; they shall be for the two Corners (Angles). 25 And they shall be eight Boards, and their Sockets shall be of silver, six ten (sixteen) Sockets; two Sockets shall be under the one Board, and two Sockets shall be under the one Board.

26 And you shall 
do (make) Bars of trees (wood) of shittim (acacia) [shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood]; five for the Boards of the one rib (side) of the Tabernacle, 27 and the five bars for the Boards of the second rib (side) of the Tabernacle, and the five Bars for the Boards of the rib (side) of the Tabernacle, for the two thighs (rear thighs, rear sides, sides, ?testicles?)  seaward (westward). 28 And the Bar shall be at the middle in through (the midst of, center of) the Boards bolting through (running through) from the edge (furthest, end) to the edge (furthest, end). 29 And you shall overlay (sheet over) ta-the Boards of gold, and you shall do (make) ta-their Rings of gold housingward (inside) for ta-the Bars: and you shall overlay (sheet over) the Bars of gold. 30 And you will raise ta-the Tabernacle according to His Ordinance which you were shown on the Mountain.

THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE BARS

Shittim Wood: Haminity, also could be Scourging and Piercing and Lashing

Gold: Kingdom, Eternal, Perfection

GENDER:
Bars: MALE
Rings: FEMALE

Notice that there are five bars and not seven, or three, or ten. This would be symbolized with the five books of the Torah of Moses.

Notice in verse twenty eight of this week's Torah portion passage that it says the middle bar is "in the midst" of the boards, which means that this middle bar, the third bar, goes "through" each of the boards. This middle bar's purpose is to hold the boards in place while it is erected. This would be symbolic of the third book of the Torah of Leviticus 11:42 in which at this point, the word "belly" is the "belly" and the "center" of the Torah".

Looking at the word BAR

The Hebrew word for bar is "b'ree-akh"- Bet, Resh, Yod, khet (
xyrb). It is from Strong's Concordance number 1280, and its definition

From H1272; a bolt: - bar, fugitive.

from 1272 "
bah-akh" (Kry), and its definition

A primitive root; to bolt, that is, figuratively to flee suddenly: - chase (away); drive away, fain, flee (away), put to flight, make haste, reach, run away, shoot.


This Hebrew word can also be translated as "fugitive". One can imply that the "Fugitive" is "Yeshua".

!!!hwhy Kl dbk


Based in the Hebrew grammar, the gender for the first side is male, and the gender for the second side is female. This could imply a "male-female" connection, implying the counterparts to each other, like Adam and Khavah (Eve).

This is a sketch of an example of the formation of the five bars showing the third bar going through the boards



These bars will go along with the flatness of the wall, whereas if the four sets of corner boards were located outside of the main wall instead of inside, it would hinder the ability for the other four bars that are exposed to finish their abiblities to completely hold the other boards in place. Either way, the bars were located inside, so that they would not disctract the structure of the outside view of the Tabernacle.

This is a sketch, not perfect, of an example of the connection of the outer will with the center bar going through with the corner board inside the outer board




The boards are overlaid with gold and are to have rings of gold to hold the bars in place. Does the overlay mean to create a gold shell to slip over the wooden boards, or place gold on the wood and attach the gold rings to the wooden board covered in gold? I don't have an answer to that at this time.

This is a sketch of the top view of what the bars look like assembled on the outside





Verses thirty-one through thirty three

THE VEIL

31 And you will do (make) a Veil of blue, and purple, and crimson (red) worm [(worm of crimson (red))] and twisted (twined, fine) linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), from weaving (a weaver, fabricating, a fabricator, embroidering, an embroiderer, devising, a deviser, interpenetrating, an interpenetrater): shall do (make) her of Cherubims: 32 And you shall give her upon the four Pillars of trees (wood) of shittim (acacia) [shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood] overlaying (sheeting over) of gold: their Nails (Hooks) shall be of gold upon the four Sockets of silver. 33 And you shall give ta-the Veil under the Buckles (Taches), and you shall bring there from housingward (inside) to the Veil of ta the Ark of the Testimony (Witness): and the Veil shall separate (divide) for you between the Sacred (Holy) Place and between the Sacred (Holy) of Sacreds (Holies) [(Sacred of Sacreds, Holy of Holies)].

THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE VEIL

Blue: Heaven
Purple: Royalty

Fine linen: Righteousness
(source: maranathalife.com)
Crimson Worm (Scarlet):
Blood, Atonement, Sacrifice
Cherubim: Heavenly Host and Heavenly Existence
Shittim Wood: Humanity, also could be Scourging and Piercing and Lashing
Gold: Kingdom, Eternal, Perfection
Silver: Redemption


GENDER:
Veil
: FEMALE
Cherubims: MALE
Nails (Hooks): MALE(?)
Sockets: MALE

These are the same colors and cherubims that were used for the Ten Curtains that are attached together. This is like the Ten Words (Commandments) in one veil, because when the Ten Words (Commandments) are written in stone, they will be placed the Ark in the Holy of Holies behind this curtain. Also, the fact that the Veil is hanging on gold hooks and silver sockets reveals the symbolic kingdom's eternalness andredemption applied to this Veil could be compared to the Gate to the Holy of Holies. Like the Ten Curtains, it doesn't specify how many Cherubims were woven in these curtains. It could be as few as one per curtain and as many as roughly a hundred or so.

Why are there four pillars? Why not five? What is the symbol of four? According to http://maranathalife.com, the number four represents the four corners of the earth. I also think that is more probable that the four pillars could represent the four heads of the angels containing the heads of the lion, the ox, the man, and the eagle, which is noted in the book of the prophet Ezekiel

Ezekiel 1:5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. 6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. 7 And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished copper. 8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. 9 Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. 10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. 11 Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.

These heads represent symbols for the Four Gospels of Yeshua:

MATTHEW: The Lion
MARK: The Ox
LUKE: The Man
JOHN: The Eagle

This is a chart of the symbol of the four gospels

Four Gospel Creatures

These four pillars, "the symbolic Four "Gospels" lead to the Holy of Holies, Who is "Yeshua".

Verses thirty four and thirty five

THE INSTALLATION OF THE FURNITURE IN THE TABERNACLE

34 And you shall give ta-the Mercy Seat (Atoning Seat) upon (over) the Ark of the Testimony (Witness) in the Sacred (Holy) of Sacreds (Holies) [(Sacred of Sacreds, Holy of Holies)]. 35 And you shall set (put) ta-the Table from outside of (by?) the Veil, and ta-the Menorah opposite the Table, upon (over) the rib (side) of the Tabernacle rightward (southward): and you shall give the Table upon (over) the hidden (north) rib (side).

Why is the Menorah on the south side in verse thirty five of this week's Torah portion passage? The right side according the context of the Hebrew scriptures is based on the location of the Entrance of the Tabernacle, which is located at the east side. If one faces the east side, the south side would be located at their "right hand".

Looking at the word RIGHTWARD

The Hebrew word for rightward is "tey-mahn"- Tav, Yod, Mem, Nun Sophit (
Nmyt). It is from Strong's Concordance number 8486, and its definition

Denominative from H3225; the south (as being on the right hand of a person facing the east): - south (side, -ward, wind).

 from 3225 "yah-mehn" 
(Nymy), and its defintion

From H3231; the right hand or side (leg, eye) of a person or other object (as the stronger and more dexterous); locally, the south: -  + left-handed, right (hand, side), south.

 from 3231 "yah-mahn" (
Nmy), and its definition

A primitive root; to be (physically) right (that is, firm); but used only as denominative from H3225 and transitively, to be right handed or take the right hand side: - go (turn) to (on, use) the right hand.

Teyman means "right". This is the same word that is part of Benjamin's name "Beyn Yamin", meaning "Son of the Right". The right side I believe is considered "the strong side", and the Menorah is placed on the right hand side of the Tent. The Menorah is a symbolism of the kingdom's eternalness of the seven Biblical High Holy Days as I mentioned earlier, and they are united and are not separate Holy Days, as in the case of the Menorah that it is in "one piece" and not of many parts. This shows that the Menorah, symbol of the Biblical High Holy Days, are on the strong or power side- "the right side".


The Table of the Bread of Faces are placed at the north side, which would be the left handed side facing the Entrance toward the east. I don't have a symbolic meaning to it, but it is a lesser of the two items, meaning the eating, or "the temporal" is not as important as "the eternal".

THE ENTRANCE CURTAIN

36 And you shall do (make) a Screen Cover (Screen Curtain) for the Entrance of the Tent of blue, and purple, and crimson (red) worm [(worm of crimson (red))], and twisted (twined, fine) linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), of a work of a needler (fabricator, texturer, cunning work). 37 And you will do (make) for the Screen Cover (Screen Curtain) five Pillars of trees (wood) of shittim (acacia) [shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood], and you shall overlay (sheet over) them of gold, and their Nails (Hooks) shall be of gold: and you will mold (cast, molten, pour out) five Sockets of copper for them.

GENDER:

Looking at the word SCREEN COVERING (SCREEN CURTAIN)

The Hebrew word for screen covering (screen curtain) is "mah-sakh"- Mem, Samek, Kaph Sophit (
Kom). It is from Strong's Concordance number 4539, and its definition

From H5526; a cover, that is, veil: - covering, curtain, hanging.

from 5526 "sah-khakh"-
Samek, Kaph, Kaph Sophit (Kko), and its definition

A primitive root; properly to entwine as a screen; by implication to fence in, cover over, (figuratively) protect: - cover, defence, defend, hedge in, join together, set, shut up.

This is where we get our modern English word "mask".

In other words, the Entrance was a "masked entrance" to the inside of the Tabernacle.


The Entrance Curtain is the same as having a veil surrounding and covering the articles to prevent anyone from seeing the elements and functions of the Temple.

Indirectly related, this is like Moses after he came down from the mountain the second time, that his face glowed, which was the Glory of 
hwhy revealed, which is noted in the Torah portion of Ki Thisa, in the book of Exodus

Exodus 34:29 And was, in Moses descending (going down) from Mount Sinai, and the Two Tablets of the Testimony (Witness) were in the hand of Moses in his descending (going down) from the Mountain, and Moses did not know for the skin of his face was shining forth (shooting rays, shooting horns) in his speaking with Him. 30 And Aaron and all of the Sons of Israel saw ta-Moses, and behold, the skin of his face was shining forth (shooting rays, shooting horns); and they were afraid with approaching to him. 31 And Moses called to them; and Aaron and all of the Rulers among the Congregation, they returned to him: and Moses spoke to them. 32 And after thus, all of the Sons of Israel, they approached: and commanded them ta all which hwhy had spoken with him in Mount Sinai. 33 And Moses finished with speaking with them, and gave a veil upon (over) his face. 34 And Moses in coming to the Face of hwhy to speak with Him, shall remove ta-the veil until he came out; and would come out, and would speak to the Sons of Israel ta which was commanded. 35 And the Sons of Israel, they saw ta-the face of Moses, for the skin of the face of Moses was shining forth (shooting rays, shooting horns): and Moses returned ta-the veil upon (over) his face again until he had gone [(he went)] to speak with Him.

The five pillars are symbols for the five books of the Torah. The hanging of blue, purple, crimson worm, and white linen; the gold and copper are symbols of Yeshua's identity- the Torah made flesh.

The copper is very important to this, because it ties to Yeshua being "the Suffering Torah Servant". When Yeshua was crucified at the Mount of Olives, He was in line with the Entrance of the Tabernacle, which means that Yeshua was facing the entrance curtain- His "symbolic curtain". When He was scourged and shredded beyond recognition, He was completely covered in blood. In other words, the blood was one of the factors that "masked" His appearance.

This is the account when Yeshua died, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew

Matthew 27:50 Yeshua, when He had cried again with a Loud Voice, yielded up the spirit. 51 And, behold, the Veil of the Temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom;...

The gold hooks with the copper sockets represent "the Suffering Eternal Deity". When Yeshua died, "hanging" on the cross, the entrance of the mask curtain- His symbol, was rent completely to expose the inside of the Temple. The life of the masked curtain expressed its death by being rent from top to bottom. It is as if the Temple died with Yeshua. That is why during Yom Kippur the scarlet thread did not turn white, the doors stayed open, and the Stone for the Dedication of 
hwhy fell on the left hand instead of the right hand. This had occurred for forty straight years before the destruction of the Temple around 70 AD.

These Talmudic references came from the 3D Bible Project website titled "Talmudic Evidence for the Messiah at 30 C.E." by Nicholas Federoff

We read in the Jerusalem Talmud:

"Forty years before the destruction of the Temple, the western light went out, the crimson thread remained crimson, and the lot for the Lord always came up in the left hand. They would close the gates of the Temple by night and get up in the morning and find them wide open" (Jacob Neusner, The Yerushalmi, p.156-157). [the Temple was destroyed in 70 CE]

A similar passage in the Babylonian Talmud states:

"Our rabbis taught: During the last forty years before the destruction of the Temple the lot ['For the Lord'] did not come up in the right hand; nor did the crimson-colored strap become white; nor did the western most light shine; and the doors of the Hekel [Temple] would open by themselves" (Soncino version, Yoma 39b).

This provides third source proof that the Temple was ineffective since the Entrance Veil, hanged with gold hooks and copper sockets- the symbol of Yeshua hanging on the tree, the Torah in the flesh. The reason this is so, because Yeshua became the current High Priest of His day when Caiaphas rented his High Priest garment and nullified his right to become High Priest. The next one in line was Yeshua, who was of the High Priest line, through His Levitie mother, Mary, and He was present with Caiaphas at Passover to be crucified, and took on that High Priest role and has been since. When Yeshua resurrected to Heaven, He was not physically present to do the High Priest Services at the Temple. That is why the Temple was of no effect, especially at Yom Kippur, because Yeshua was not physically present on earth to do the High Priest services.

Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries noted that the Hebrew word for hooks in verse thirty seven is "vav"- Vav, Vav (
ww), the Hebrew word phrase for the letter "vav", the picture letter for "hook". Thank you Mark Biltz.

Mark Biltz also noted that the cherubims were placed on top of the Tabernacle, on the Veil to the Holy of Holies, and on the cover of the Ark of the Covenant, were means of guarding those areas of the Tabernacle.

Verses one and two

THE COPPER ALTAR

1 And you will do (make) ta-the Altar of trees (wood) of shittim (acacia)[shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood], shall be five cubits long, and five cubits wide; the Altar shall be square: and three cubits shall be his height. 2 And you shall do (make) his Horns upon (over) his four angles (corners): from him, they shall be his Horns: and you will overlay (sheet over) him of copper.

THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE COPPER ALTAR

Shittim Wood: Man, also could be Scourging and Piercing and Lashing
Copper: Man, Judgment, Suffering-(source: maranathalife.com)

GENDER:
Altar: MALE
Horns: FEMALE

The Copper Altar, in U.S. measurements is 8 1/2 feet long, 8 1/2 feet wide and 4 1/2 feet high.

This is the Copper Altar where all the various sacrifices will be made.

The four horns for each of the four corners mean that they are an act of protection to the person who brings the sacrifice. The horns are also feminine, because in the Hebrew text, as noted in 26:3 and 25:27 of this week's Torah portion, it is "tee-h'yeyn" (
Nyyht) meaning "they will be" in the feminine plural. They are our spiritual corners of our protection as believers in Yeshua, and could also represent the four corners of the earth, and/or the four corners of the land of Israel.

Indirectly related, when one wears the four tsitsits on his garments, this is a reminder that the Commandments of 
hwhy are of the Kingdom, and that the Commandments are one's own protection. Looking at the scripture of the tassels, which is noted in the Torah portion of Sh'lakh L'kha, in the book of Numbers

Numbers 15:37 And hwhy spoke to Moses, to say, 38 Speak to the Sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: and they shall make (do) for themselves tassels (fringes) upon the corners (wings) of their garments for their generations, and they shall give upon the tassels (fringes) of the corners (wings) a thread of blue: 39 And shall be to you for a tassel (fringe), and you shall look upon him, and you shall remember ta-all of the Commandments of hwhy, and you shall do them; and you shall not search after your hearts and after your eyes which you go whoring after them: 40 By that you shall remember, and you shall do ta-all of My Commandments, and you shall be Sacred Ones (Holy Ones) to your Elohim. 41 I am hwhy, your Elohim, whom I brought you out from the land of Egypt, to be to you for Elohim: I am hwhy, your Elohim.

In this week's Torah portion passage, a symbol for the Horns is strength. If one sins, one's spiritual strength is crippled and weakened. When the blood of the animal is put on the Horns of the Altar, it is an act to restore the strength and the spiritual unity back to the person that missed the mark to 
hwhy. It also restores the four corners of protection around that person.

Yeshua did this once and for all at the Altar in the Kingdom of Heaven, which is noted by the apostle Paul, in the book of Hebrews

Hebrews 9:11 But Messiah being come an High Priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect Tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own Blood he entered in once into the Holy Place, having obtained Eternal Redemption for us. 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14 How much more shall the Blood of Messiah, who through the Eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to hwhy, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the Living Elohim? 15 And for this cause He is the Mediator of the New Covenant, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the First Covenant, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

The Altar is also the symbol of Yeshua, being "the Sacrificial Servant". 



Verse three

THE COPPER ALTAR'S UTENSILS


3 And you will do (make) his Pans (Pots) for his fat ashes, and his Shovels, and his Sprinkling Bowls (Sacrificial Bowls), and his Fleshhooks, and his Firepans (Coal Removal Pans, Snuffdishes): all of his Vessels you will do (make) of copper.

THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE COPPER ALTAR'S UTENSILS

Copper: Man, Judgment, Suffering-(source: maranathalife.com)

GENDER:
Pans, Shovels, Sprinkling Bowls, Fleshhooks, Firepans: FEMALE(?)


This is symbolized of Yeshua's act to use "His Utensils" to clean out  the "soot" and "ashes" of the Jewish Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes and Lawyers from their "false doctrine" of man. It could also mean that Yeshua cleanses the soot and ashes of the sin in our lives as believers.

This is a an image of the possible item patterns of the utensils for the Copper Altar

Verses four through eight

THE COPPER ALTAR GRILL

4 And you will do (make) for him a Grill Cover (Grate Cover), a doing (making) of a Net, of copper; and upon the Net, you will do (make) four Rings of copper upon (over) his four Ends (Edges). 5 And you will give her under the rim of the Altar from by beneath (downward), and the Net, she shall be unto the halfway of the Altar. 6 And you shall do (make) Poles for the Altar, Poles of trees (wood) of shittim (acacia) [shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood], and you will overlay (sheet over) them of copper. 7 And ta-his Poles shall enter in the Rings, and the Poles, they shall be upon (over) the two ribs (sides) of the Altar in carrying (bearing, lifting up) him. 8 You will do (make) him of hollow polished Boards: as the which was shown you on the Mountain, so they shall be done (made).

Based on the measurements of the Copper Altar,
it is, in U.S. measurements, almost 8 1/2 feet long, 8 1/2 feet wide

This is like is criss-cross grill, like the grill on a barbecue grill to let the ashes of the sacrifice fall through. If one can say it, this is the oldest recording of a barbecue grill. This is symbolic of Yeshua in an act to "filter" out the ashes of the doctrine of man via
the Jewish Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes and Lawyers from their "false doctrine" of man. It is symbolic to filter out the ashes of the sin in our lives as believers.

This is an image of a possible pattern of the Copper Altar with grill and the poles

Verses nine through eleven

THE COURT OF THE TABERNACLE

9 And you will do (make) ta the Court of the Tabernacle: for the negev (south) mouth (side), rightward (southward) shall be Slings (Sling Screens, Screens, Leaves, Valves, Hangings) for the Court of twisted (twined, fine) linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen) of a hundred on the cubit of length for the one mouth (side): 10 And his Pillars shall be twenty, and their Sockets shall be twenty, of copper; the Nails (Hooks) of the Pillars and their Atachments (Clingers, Fillets, Rails) shall be of silver.

11 And so for the hidden (north)

 The north and south Court Curtains,
in U.S. measurements, is 150 feet long, and in verse eighteen of this week's Torah portion chapter, it provides the height for the curtain

18 The length of the Court shall be a hundred on the cubit, and the width shall be fifty on fifty, and the height shall be five cubits, shall be twisted (twined, fine) linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), 18 The length of the Court shall be a hundred on the cubit, and the width shall be fifty on fifty,...
 
In U.S. measurements, is 8 1/2 feet high.

 These hangings were most likely "one piece". There were twenty pillars for each of these two sides. What it also reveals to us is that the pillars are to be located on the outside of the Court, and the hangings would be applied the behind the copper pillars of the Court.

Looking at the word MOUTH (SIDE)

The Hebrew word for side mouth (side) is "pey-ah"- Peh, Aleph, Heh (
hap). It is from Strong's Concordance number 6285, and its definition

Feminine of H6311; properly mouth in a figurative sense, that is, direction, region, extremity: - corner, end, quarter, side.

from 6311 "poh" (
ap), and its definition

Probably from a primitive inseparable particle פּ p (the second form; of demonstrative force) and H1931; this place (French, icil), that is, here or hence: - here, hither, the one (other, this, that) side.

from 1931 "hoo" or "hee" (
awh or ayh), and its definition

The second form is the feminine beyond the Pentateuch; a primitive word, the third person pronoun singular, he (she or it); only expressed when emphatic or without a verb; also (intensively) self, or (especially with the article) the same; sometimes (as demonstrative) this or that; occasionally (instead of copula) as or are: - he, as for her, him (-self), it, the same, she (herself), such, that (. . . it), these, they, this, those, which (is), who.


The outer court is symbolic of Yeshua's "Pure" Body.

I don't have a possible pattern available, because I am still unclear how it looks. Some images show it having actually in appearance (say looking at the south end) twenty-one pillars, using one of the pillars on the west or east end as a twenty-first pillar, while some say it is what it says. I am still looking into it. One thing I know for sure, the pillars are of pure copper, and it does not contain any other material.

Looking at the word ATTACHMENTS (CLINGERS, FILLETS, RAILS)

The Hebrew word for attachments (clingers, fillets, rails) is "khah-shook"- Khet, Shin, Kuph (
qsx). It is from Strong's Concordance number 2838, and its definition

Passive participle of H2836; attached, that is, a fence rail or rod connecting the posts or pillars: - fillet.

from 2836 "khah-shahk" (qsx), and its definition

A primitive root; to cling, that is, join (figuratively) to love, delight in; elliptically (or by interchange for H2820) to deliver: - have a delight, (have a) desire, fillet, long, set (in) love.





Verse twelve

12 And the width of the Court for the sea (west) mouth (side), the Slings (Sling Screens, Screens, Leaves, Valves, Hangings) shall be fifty cubits: their Pillars shall be ten, and their Sockets shall be ten.

GENDER:
Hangings: FEMALE(?)
Pillars: MALE

Nails (Hooks): FEMALE(?)
Attachments: FEMALE(?)

The length for west side of the Court Curtain
, in U.S. measurements, is 75 feet long and 8 1/2 feet high.



Verses thirteen through fifteen

13 And the width of the Court on the east mouth (side), sunrisingward, shall be fifty cubits. 14 And the Slings (Sling Screens, Screens, Leaves, Valves, Hangings) for the upper arm corner (side) shall be the five ten (fifteen) cubits: their Pillars shall be three, and their Sockets shall be three. 15 And for the second upper arm corner (side) of the Hangings shall be five ten (fifteen) cubits: their Pillars shall be three, and their Sockets shall be three.

GENDER:
Hangings: FEMALE(?)
Pillars: MALE

Nails (Hooks): FEMALE(?)
Attachments: FEMALE(?)

The length for wast side of the Court Curtain, in U.S. measurements, is 75 feet long and 8 1/2 feet high, and the length for each the hangings, in U.S. measurements, is 22 1/2 feet long and 8 1/2 high.

This court side Entrance might as well be called the "Jubilee Court". The fact that it is fifty cubits wide, the number fifty represents the Jubilee Year, the fiftieth year.

Looking at the following words:

SLING (SLING SCREEN, SCREEN, LEAF, VALVE, HANGING)

The Hebrew word for Sling (Sling Screen, Screen, Leaf, Valve, Hanging) is "keh-lah"- Kuph, Lamed, Ayin (
elq). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7050, and its defnition

From H7049; a sling; also a (door) screen (as if slung across), or the valve (of the door) itself: - hanging, leaf, sling.

from 7049 "kah-lah"
(elq), and its definition

A primitive root; to sling; also to carve (as if a circular motion, or into light forms): - carve, sling (out).

These hangings could also be called curtains.


Looking at the word UPPER ARM CORNER (SIDE)

The Hebrew word for side upper arm corner (side) is "kah-theyph"- Kaph, Tav, Peh Sophit (
Ptk). It is from Strong's Concordance number 3802, and its definition

From an unused root meaning to clothe; the shoulder (proper, that is, upper end of the arm; as being the spot where the garments hang); figuratively side piece or lateral projection or anything: - arm, corner, shoulder (-piece), side, undersetter.

Notice that the Hebrew word can be translated as an upper arm. This is the section circled




So one can say that the upper arm was applied to the Tabernacle.

Verses sixteen through nineteen

THE COURT GATE

16 And for the Gate of the Court shall be a Screen Cover (Screen Curtain) of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and crimson (red) worm [(worm of crimson (red))], and twisted (twined, fine) linen  (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), the work of a needler: their Pillars shall be four, and their Sockets shall be four. 17 All the Pillars all around the Court shall be attached of silver; their Nails (Hooks) shall be of silver, and their Sockets shall be of copper. 18 The length of the Court shall be a hundred on the cubit, and the width shall be fifty on fifty, and the height shall be five cubits, shall be twisted (twined, fine) linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), and their Sockets shall be of copper. 19 For all of the Vessels of the Tabernacle in all of his Service, and all of his Pins (Pegs), and all of the Pins (Pegs) of the Court, shall be of copper.

THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE COURT GATE

Purple: Royalty

Fine linen: Righteousness

Crimson Worm (Scarlet):
Blood, Atonement, Sacrifice

Copper: Man, Judgment, Suffering-(source: maranathalife.com)

GENDER:
Gate: MALE(?)
Pillars: MALE

Nails (Hooks): FEMALE(?)
Pins (Pegs): FEMALE(?)
Sockets: MALE(?)

In relation to the Court of the Tabernacle, the pillars and sockets are made of copper.

Indirectly related, this Gate can be compared to Yeshua, the Gate, which is noted in the Gospel of John

John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the gate into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.6 This Parable spake Yeshua unto them: but they understood not what things they were which He spake unto them. 7 Then said Yeshua unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the Gate of the Sheep. 8 All that ever came before Me are thieves and robbers: but the Sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the Gate: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have Life, and that they might have It more abundantly.

These four copper pillars could also be compared to the four Gospels of Yeshua, the Messiah, which I noted earlier regarding the four pillars of the Entrance Curtain, which I will note again.

Why are there four pillars? Why not five? What is the symbol of four? According to http://maranathalife.com, the number four represents the four corners of the earth. I also think that is more probable that the four pillars could represent the four heads of the angels containing the heads of the lion, the ox, the man, and the eagle, which is noted in the book of the prophet Ezekiel

Ezekiel 1:5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. 6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. 7 And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished copper. 8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. 9 Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. 10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. 11 Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.

These heads represent symbols for the Four Gospels of Yeshua:

MATTHEW: The Lion
MARK: The Ox
LUKE: The Man
JOHN: The Eagle

This is a chart of the symbol of the four gospels

Four Gospel Creatures

These four pillars, "the symbolic Four "Gospels" lead to the Holy of Holies, Who is "Yeshua".

This is an image of a rough possible pattern to what the the Court Gate looks like from the outside view

Court Gate



Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries noted from this week's Torah portion that the Tabernacle is comparable to the seven days of creation. These are the sources he used to compare them (Note: Mishkan is the Hebrew for Tabernacle).

THE FIRST DAY

Regarding the work on the first day of creation, it says

Genesis 1:1 In first (beginning), Elohim created ta the Heavens and ta-the Earth.

RIt can be also applied to this verse which is noted in the book of Pslams

Psalm 104:1 Bless hwhy, O my soul. hwhy my Elohim, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honour and majesty. 2 Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

Regarding the making of the Tabernacle in this week's Torah portion, it says

Exodus 26:7 And you shall do (make) Curtains of kid goats for a Tent over (upon) the Tabernacle:...


THE SECOND DAY

Regarding the work on the second day of creation, it says

Genesis 1:6 And Elohim said, Be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and shall be divided between waters to waters.

Regarding the making of the Tabernacle in this week's Torah portion, it says

Exodus 26:33 And you shall give ta-the Veil under the Buckles (Taches), and you shall bring there from housingward (inside) to the Veil of ta the Ark of the Testimony (Witness): and the Veil shall separate (divide) for you between the Sacred (Holy) Place and between the Sacred (Holy) of Sacreds (Holies) [(Sacred of Sacreds, Holy of Holies)].


THE THIRD DAY

Regarding the work on the third day of creation, it says

Genesis 1:9 And Elohim said, Collect the waters from under the heavens to one place,...

Regarding the making of the Tabernacle in the Torah portion of Ki Thisa, it says

Exodus 30:18 And you shall make a Laver of copper and his Base shall be of copper for washing: and you shall put (give) him between the Tent of Appointment and between the Altar, and you shall give water there.


THE FOURTH DAY

Regarding the work on the fourth day of creation, it says

Genesis 1:14 And Elohim said, Be lights (luminaries) in the firmament of the Heavens for the division between the day and between the night, and shall be for Signs, and for Appointed Times, and for days, and years,

Regarding the making of the Tabernacle in this week's Torah portion, it says

Exodus 25:31 And you shall do (make) a Menorah of pure gold: the Menorah, she shall be made of beaten work (hammered work): her Base (Shaft, Trunk, Thigh, Loin, Testacle?), and her Branches, her Bowls (Calyx, Goblet), her Knobs (?Wreaths?), and her Flowers (Blooms, Buds), they shall be from her.


THE FIFTH DAY

Regarding the work on the fifth day of creation, it says

Genesis 1:20 And Elohim said The waters, they shall swarm swarmers of a living soul, and fliers (birds) shall fly over the Earth upon the face of the firmament of the Heavens.

Regarding the making of the Tabernacle in this week's Torah portion, it says

Exodus 25:20 And the Cherubims, they shall be spreading apart (spreading out) their wings by above, covering on their Wings over (upon) the Mercy Seat, and their faces shall be a man to his brother; the faces of the Cherubims, they shall be to the Mercy Seat.


THE SIXTH DAY

Regarding the work on the sixth day of creation, it says

Genesis 1:27 And Elohim created ta-the Adam in His Image, created him in the Image of Elohim, created them male (remembered one) and female.

Regarding the making of the Tabernacle in the Torah portion of T'tsavveh, it says


Exodus 28:1 And you shall bring near to yourself ta-Aaron, your brother, and ta-his sons with him from the midst of the Sons of Israel for his Priestship (Priestly Acts) for Me; Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron.


THE SEVENTH DAY

Regarding the work on the seventh day of creation, it says

Genesis 2:1 And the Heavens and the Earth and all of their host (armies), they were finished. 2 And in the seventh day, Elohim finished His work that was made, and desisted (rested, relaxed) on the seventh day from all of His work that was made. 3 And Elohim blessed ta-the seventh day and sanctified him, for in him had desisted (rested, relax) from all of His work, which Elohim created for the making.

Regarding the making of the Tabernacle in the Torah portion of Naso, it says

Numbers 7:1 And it was in the day Moses had finished setting up (bearing) ta-the Tabernacle, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and ta-all of his Vessels, and ta-the Altar and ta-all of his Vessels, and anointed them, and sanctified them;

Thank you Mark.



Overall, if one looks at the items located in the Tabernacle, it is in the shape of the cross. The Roman-Catholic church took this plan since the Medieval times and made their cathedrals based on the plan of the Tabernacle. Looking at the top of their buildings, how many cathedrals are shaped in the form of a cross? A whole lot.

Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb Ministries noted in one of this week's Torah portion teachings that 
hwhy revealed the Tabernacle from the inside first, then toward the outside. Isn't it the same way that Yeshua works in our lives as believers, by working on us from "the inside first" then the outside to be more like Him? For we are part of "His Tabernacle", which is noted by the apostle Paul in his letter to the assembly in Corinth

1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the Temple of hwhy, and that the Spirit of hwhy dwelleth in you?

He continually dwells in us as believers in Yeshua, working on us to be perfect in His Finished Work.



Ending
this week's Torah portion, these are the alternate translations that pertain to the parts of the body and pertain to Yeshua:

Shittim (Acacia) (Ex 25:5): Thorns = Crown of thorns for Yeshua
Shaft (Ex 25:31): Thigh or Testicles
Cubit: Mother = Yeshua as the Mother Hen
Curtain: Alternate Hebrew for Torah
Pin: Hand
Sockets: Adon (Lord) = Yeshua
Side (Ex 26:18): Mouth
Side
(Ex 26:20): Rib
Side (Ex 26:22): Testacles
Side (Ex 27:14,15): Upper Arm
Below (Beneath) (Ex 26:24): Staff or Rod
Bar: Fugitive = Yeshua
Ark of the Testimony: Witness = Yeshua

!!!hwhy Kl dbk


Also, Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb Ministries noted the following symbolic meanings of the furniture inside the Tabernacle:

Ark of the Covenant: The Heavenly Father
Table of the Bread of Faces: Yeshua
Menorah: The Ruakh HaKodesh (Holy Spirit)

!!!hwhy Kl dbk

Indirectly related, Monte also noted the connected to the Patriarchs:

Abraham: 
The Heavenly Father
Isaac: The Son, Yeshua
Jacob:
The Ruakh HaKodesh (Holy Spirit)

That ends this week's Torah portion commentary.
