The sum of what the people offered, and the use to which it was applied The bases for the posts were bronze Bronze in the Bible often symbolizes judgment and strength. The use of bronze for the bases of the posts in the tabernacle courtyard signifies a foundation of strength and durability. In the ancient Near East, bronze was a common material for tools and weapons, indicating its resilience. The tabernacle, as a place of worship and sacrifice, required a strong foundation, both physically and spiritually. The bronze bases may also remind us of the bronze altar, where sacrifices were made, pointing to the need for atonement and the judgment of sin. the hooks and bands were silver and the plating for the tops of the posts was silver So all the posts of the courtyard were banded with silver Persons / Places / Events 1. MosesThe leader of the Israelites who received the instructions for the construction of the Tabernacle from God. 2. Bezalel and Oholiab Skilled craftsmen appointed by God to oversee the construction of the Tabernacle and its furnishings. 3. The Tabernacle A portable sanctuary where God dwelled among the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness. 4. The Courtyard The outer area of the Tabernacle, enclosed by curtains and posts, where the altar of burnt offering and the bronze basin were located. 5. The Israelites The people of God who were commanded to construct the Tabernacle according to the divine specifications given to Moses. Teaching Points Symbolism of MaterialsBronze often symbolizes judgment and strength, while silver represents redemption and purity. Reflect on how these materials in the Tabernacle courtyard point to the nature of God's presence and His work among His people. Attention to Detail The specific instructions and materials used in the Tabernacle construction highlight the importance of obedience and precision in worship. Consider how this applies to our worship practices today. God's Dwelling Among His People The Tabernacle was a physical representation of God's desire to dwell with His people. Reflect on how this foreshadows the coming of Christ, who is "God with us," and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers. Community Contribution The construction of the Tabernacle involved the contributions and skills of the entire Israelite community. Think about how each member of the church today has a role in building up the body of Christ. Holiness and Separation The courtyard posts, banded with silver, marked a boundary between the sacred and the common. Consider how we are called to live lives that are set apart for God.(17) The overlaying of their chapiters of silver.--Just as in Exodus 36:38, we are informed that Moses, travelling beyond the letter of his instructions, overlaid the capitals of the pillars at the door of the Tabernacle itself with gold, so now we find that, without any express orders, he overlaid those at the door of the court with silver. In each case he was probably following his remembrance of the pattern seen in the mount (Exodus 25:9; Exodus 25:40). Verse 17. - The overlaying of their chapiters of silver. This is additional to what is recorded in ch. 27, and is parallel to what we find related of the tabernacle pillars in Exodus 36:38. Filleted with silver. Rather, "connected with silver rods." Compare Exodus 27:17. |
