Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5179 (τύπος, typos): Refers to a pattern, model, or example, often used in the New Testament to describe a form or example to be followed.

Usage: The Hebrew word "tabnith" refers to a pattern, form, or model. It is often used in the context of instructions for building or creating something according to a specific design. In the Bible, "tabnith" is frequently associated with the detailed plans given by God for constructing sacred objects or structures, such as the Tabernacle and the Temple.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of a "pattern" or "model" was significant, especially in religious contexts. The Israelites believed that following God's precise instructions for building the Tabernacle and later the Temple was crucial for maintaining a proper relationship with Him. These structures were not only places of worship but also symbols of God's presence among His people. The detailed patterns provided by God underscored the importance of obedience and reverence in worship.
