Day 119: Detailed Construction of the Tabernacle - Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience

In Day 119 of the Immerse Bible reading experience, the intricate process of crafting various elements of the Tabernacle is recounted in detail. Beel creates the lamp stand from pure hammered gold, including its base, stem, branches, and decorations, all crafted from one piece. Additionally, he manufactures seven lamps, snuffers, trays, and the lamp stand accessories from 75 pounds of gold. The construction of the incense altar from acacia wood, overlaid with gold, and measures 18 inches square and 36 inches high, is also described. Beel crafts the sacred anointing oil and fragrant incense using specialized techniques. Further, the altar of burnt offering, bronze wash basin, and its stand are meticulously constructed. The courtyard, surrounded by finely woven linen curtains supported by posts set in bronze bases, is detailed. An inventory of materials used, such as gold, silver, and bronze contributed by the Israelite community, elaborates on the collective effort in building the tabernacle. The silver tax collected from 603,550 men and its usage in making structures and accessories is also noted. This episode concludes with a recognition of the contributions from various experts, craftsmen, and the participation of the Israelite community.

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?”

with horns at the corners carved from the

same piece of wood as the altar itself.

He overlaid the top sides and horns of

The Levites compiled the figures as

the priest served as Recorder Beels,
son of your i grandson of her, of

the tribe of Judah, made everything
