Day 113: Detailed Instructions for Building the Tabernacle - Bible Reading

In Day 113 of the Immerse Daily Bible Reading experience, detailed instructions are given for the construction of the tabernacle. The script outlines the specifications for making the tabernacle's curtains, including dimensions, materials, and decorations using blue, purple, and scarlet threads with skillfully embroidered cherubim. It describes how to join the curtains using loops and clasps to form a continuous piece. Additional instructions cover the making of a tent covering from goat hair cloth, the framework from acacia wood, and the tabernacle's various crossbars and overlays. The inside of the tabernacle is detailed with a special curtain separating the holy place from the most holy place, where the ark of the covenant is to be placed. Specifications for the courtyard, altar, and the ritual items are also provided, emphasizing the use of bronze and silver in the construction. The people of Israel are commanded to supply pure oil for the lampstand to keep lamps burning continually before the Lord, a statute to be observed from generation to generation.

4 Questions to get your conversations started:
1. What stood out to you this week?
2. Was there anything confusing or troubling?
3. Did anything make you think differently about God?
4. How might this change the way we live?

QUICK START GUIDE
3 ways to get the most out of your experience
  1. Use Immerse: Beginnings instead of your regular chapter and verse Bible. This special reader’s edition restores the Bible to its natural simplicity and beauty by removing chapter and verse numbers and other historical additions. Letters look like letters, songs look like songs, and the original literary structures are visible in each book.
  2. Commit to making this a community experience. Immerse is designed for groups to encounter large portions of the Bible together
    for 8 weeks–more like a book club, less like a Bible study. By meeting every week in small groups and discussing what you read in open,
    honest conversations, you and your community can come together to be transformed through an authentic experience with the Scriptures.
  3. Aim to understand the big story. Read through “The Stories and the Story” (p. 483) to see how the books of the Bible work together to tell God’s story of his creation’s restoration. As you read through Immerse: Beginnings, rather than ask, “How do I fit God into my busy life?” begin asking, “How can I join in God’s great plan by living out my part in his story?”

Malcom: Welcome To Immerse: The
Daily Bible Reading Experience.

Day 100 and 13

make the tabernacle from 10
curtains of finely woven linen.

Decorate the curtains with blue,
purple, and scarlet thread, and with

skillfully embroidered cherubim, these
10 curtains must all be exactly the same

size, 42 feet long and six feet wide.

Join five of these curtains
together to make one long curtain.

Then join the other five
into a second long curtain.

Put loops of blue yarn along the
edge of the last curtain in each set.

The 50 loops along the edge of one
curtain are to match the 50 loops

along the edge of the other curtain.

Then make 50 gold clasps and fasten the
long curtains together with the clasps.

In this way, the tabernacle will
be made of one continuous piece.

Make 11 curtains of goat
hair cloth to serve as a tent

covering for the tabernacle.

These 11 curtains must all be exactly the
same size, 45 feet long and six feet wide.

Join five of these curtains together
to make one long curtain, and join the

other six into a second long curtain.

Allow three feet of material from
the second set of curtains to hang

over the front of the sacred tent.

Make 50 loops for one edge of each
large curtain, then make 50 bronze

clasps and fasten the loops of
the long curtains with the clasps.

And this way the tent covering will
be made of one continuous piece.

The remaining three feet of this
tent covering will be left to hang

over the back of the tabernacle.

Allow 18 inches of remaining material
to hang down over each side so the

tabernacle is completely covered.

Complete the tent covering with a
protective layer of 10 ram skins and

a layer of fine goat skin leather.

For the framework of the tabernacle,
construct frames of acacia wood.

Each frame must be 15 feet
high and 27 inches wide with

two pegs under each frame.

Make all the frames identical.

Make 20 of these frames to
support the curtains on the

south side of the tabernacle.

Also make 40 silver bases two bases
under each frame with the pegs

fitting securely into the bases.

For the north side of the tabernacle,
make another 20 frames with their 40

silver bases, two bases under each frame.

Make six frames for the rear, the west
side of the tabernacle, along with

two additional frames to reinforce
the rear corners of the tabernacle.

These corner frames will be matched
at the bottom and firmly attached

at the top with a single ring
forming a single corner unit.

Make both of these corner
units the same way.

So there will be eight frames at the
rear of the tabernacle set in 16 silver

bases, two bases under each frame.

Make crossbars of Acacia
wood to link the frames.

Five crossbars for the north side of the
Tabernacle and five for the south side.

Also make five crossbars for the rear
of the tabernacle, which will face West.

The middle crossbar attached halfway
up the frames will run all the way

from one end of the tabernacle to the
other, overlay the frames with gold and

make gold rings to hold The crossbars,
overlay the crossbars with gold as well.

Set up this tabernacle according to the
pattern you were shown on the mountain.

For the inside of the tabernacle,
make a special curtain of finely

woven linen decorated with blue,
purple, and scarlet thread.

And with skillfully embroidered
cherubim, hang this curtain on gold hooks

attached to four posts of acacia wood.

Overlay the posts with gold and
set them in four silver bases.

Hang the inner curtain from
clasps and put the ark of the

covenant in the room behind it.

This curtain will separate the holy
place from the most holy place.

Then put the ark's cover the place
of atonement on top of the ark of the

covenant inside the most holy place.

Place the table outside the inner
curtain on the north side of the

tabernacle and place the lamp.

Stand across the room on the south side.

Make another curtain for the
entrance to the sacred tent.

Make it a finely woven linen and
embroider it with exquisite designs.

Using blue, purple and scarlet
thread, craft five posts from

Acacia Wood, overlay them with gold
and hang the curtain from them.

With gold hooks, cast five
bronze bases for the posts.

Using a Keisha wood construct, a
square altar, seven and a half feet

wide, seven and a half feet long,
and four and a half feet high.

Make horns for each of its four corners
so that the horns and altar are all

one piece Overlay the altar with
bronze, make ash buckets, shovels,

basins, meat forks, and fire pans.

All of bronze.

Make a bronze grading for it and attach
four bronze rings at its four corners.

Install the grading halfway down
the side of the altar under the

ledge for carrying the altar.

Make poles from acaia wood
and overlay them with bronze.

Insert the poles through the rings
on the two sides of the altar.

The altar must be hollow made from planks.

Build it just as you were
shown on the mountain.

Then make the courtyard for the
tabernacle enclosed with curtains made

of finely woven linen on the south side.

Make the curtains 150 feet long.

They will be held up by 20 posts
set securely in 20 bronze bases.

Hang the curtains with
silver hooks and rings.

Make the curtains the
same on the north side.

150 feet of curtains held up by 20 posts.

Set securely in bronze bases.

Hang the curtains with
silver hooks and rings.

The curtains on the west end of
the courtyard will be 75 feet long,

supported by 10 posts set into 10 bases.

The east end of the courtyard, the
front will also be 75 feet long.

The courtyard entrance will be on
the east end flanked by two curtains.

The curtain on the right side will
be 22 and a half feet long, supported

by three posts set into three bases.

The curtain on the left side will also
be 22 and a half feet long, supported

by three posts set into three bases.

For the entrance to the courtyard,
make a curtain that is 30 feet long.

Make it from finely woven
linen and decorate it with

beautiful embroidery and blue.

Purple and scarlet thread.

Support it with four posts each
securely set in its own base.

All the posts around the
courtyard must have silver rings

and hooks and bronze bases.

So the entire courtyard will be
150 feet long and 75 feet wide with

curtain walls, seven and a half feet
high, made from finely woven linen.

The basis for the posts
will be made of bronze.

All the articles used in the rituals
of the tabernacle, including all

the tent pigs used to support
the tabernacle and the courtyard

curtains must be made of bronze.

Command the people of Israel to bring you
pure oil of pressed olives for the light

to keep the lamps burning continually.

The lamp stand will stand in the
tabernacle in front of the inner curtain

that shields the ark of the covenant.

Aaron and his sons must keep the lamps
burning in the Lord's presence all night.

This is a permanent law for the people
of Israel, and it must be observed

from generation to generation.

Immer reading experience.
