Teaching Points Divine PrecisionGod's instructions for the Tabernacle were precise, reflecting His nature of order and intentionality. This teaches us the importance of following God's guidance in our lives with attention to detail and obedience. Symbolism of the Tabernacle The Tabernacle represents God's desire to dwell among His people. It points to Jesus Christ, who is the ultimate fulfillment of God's presence with us. We are reminded to seek a personal relationship with Christ, who bridges the gap between God and humanity. Unity and Uniformity The uniform measurements of the curtains symbolize unity and consistency in the community of believers. As the body of Christ, we are called to be united in purpose and faith, working together harmoniously. Temporary Dwelling The Tabernacle was a temporary structure, reminding us that our earthly lives are temporary. We are encouraged to focus on eternal values and our heavenly home. God's Provision and Presence The Tabernacle was a constant reminder of God's provision and presence with the Israelites. In our lives, we should remain aware of God's ongoing provision and presence, trusting Him in all circumstances.(8) Thirty cubits.--The additional cubit on either side (comp. Exodus 26:2) would hang down and form a "valance" along the sides of the tent. (See Exodus 26:13.)Verse 8. - The length... shall be thirty cubits. A tent with a rectangular roof, over such a chamber as the mishkan, brought down, as tents usually are, within six or seven feet of the ground, would have required a covering of this length. If the slope of the roof had been greater, the covering must have been longer. The breadth... four cubits. This gives for the entire covering, when made up, a width of forty-four cubits, or sixty-six feet. As the entire length of the mishkan was only thirty cubits, or forty-five feet, it is evident that the tent projected considerably beyond the tabernacle, either at both ends, or, at any rate, at one end. Probably the projection was at one end only - viz., in front; where it constituted a porch, eighteen or twenty feet deep. The temple, which was modelled after the tabernacle, had a porch fifteen feet deep. Parallel Commentaries ...
