Four sets of curtains for the tent itself [Ex 26:1–14] 1. The fine linen curtain (Ex 26:1–6) 2. The curtain made of goats’ hair (Ex 26:7–13) 3. Two sets of coverings: ram skin dyed red, and badger skin (Ex 26:14) B. The framing system for the tabernacle [Ex 26:15–30] 1. Boards for the sides of the tent (Ex 26:15–25) 2. Bars to join together the boards (Ex 26:26–30) C. Two barriers: the veil and the screen [Ex 26:31–37] 1. The veil (Ex 26:31–33) 2. The arrangement of furniture in the two rooms of the tabernacle (Ex 26:34–35) 3. The screen for a door (Ex 26:36–37) The Tabernacle Click Picture to Enlarge (Source: ESV.org) FINE LINEN INNER CURTAINS (Exodus 26:1-6) The detailed presentation of the Tabernacle (which takes more space than any other entity in the OT) is clear evidence that the perfect, holy God desires a personal relationship with sinful men and comes down to earth to demonstrate His compassion and love for our fallen race. The Tabernacle is the OT equivalent of Immanuel, God with Us (Mt 1:23+), which was ultimately fulfilled in the appearance of Jesus Christ Who came to earth to "tabernacle" with men (John 1:14YLT+) and to die as the sacrificial Lamb of God (Jn 1:29+) so that men might forever "tabernacle" with God in Heaven. John sums up the consummation of God's tabernacle among men writing "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them" (Rev 21:3+) (See study of Immanuel-Emmanuel). ESV Study Note gives a good summary of the The Tabernacle Tent (see diagram above) - The entire tent was 45 feet (13.7 m) long, 15 feet (4.6 m) wide, and 15 feet (4.6 m) high. It was a wooden skeletal structure, overlaid with gold, with no solid roof or front wall (Ex. 26:15-29). Five wooden bars (overlaid with gold) passed through rings attached to each frame (Ex. 26:26-30). Stephen Olford says "In seeking to interpret the Tabernacle, we must not dogmatize but humbly follow the method of the Holy Spirit as illustrated in the Epistle to the Hebrews. Referring there to the Tabernacle and the priesthood, He speaks of the 'shadow of heavenly things' (Hebrews 8:5); 'the patterns of things in the heavens' (Hebrews 9:23); 'the figures of the true' (Hebrews 9:24); 'a shadow of good things to come' (Hebrews 10:1). Thus it is clear that the Tabernacle was intended to signify spiritual realities. In other words, in the Tabernacle we see shadows, patterns, and figures of heavenly or spiritual things that are revealed in Christ." Hebrews 8:5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, “SEE,” He says, “THAT YOU MAKE all things ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN WHICH WAS SHOWN YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN.” Hebrews 9:23 Therefore it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. Hebrews 9:24 For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; Hebrews 10:1 For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near. David Thompson - Now the actual sanctuary complex covered an area 150 feet long and 75 feet wide or 11,250 square feet. The sanctuary area was an enclosed courtyard that contained an inside tent. Inside this courtyard area was a tent that was 45 feet long and 15 feet wide (15 feet wide x 45 feet long x 15 feet high). Inside that tent was the lampstand, table of the bread of presence, the altar of incense and the Ark of the Covenant. God calls this place “the tabernacle” (mishkan). The particular meaning of this word is that this will be a place of habitation and dwelling presence of God. So this tent was going to be a very sacred tent because this would be the actual residence of God. When people would see this tabernacle, they would say God is there. God’s presence is there. (Sermon) John Hannah - Chapter 26 focuses on the tabernacle that protected the three pieces of furniture (and also the altar of incense described in Ex 30:1-10). The portable building was 15' by 45' with a wooden framework at the sides, top, and back. Over the top and back of the structure were placed 10 curtains which served as a large tent. The tabernacle with its overarching tent was surrounded by a large courtyard (Ex 27:9-19). (Bible Knowledge Commentary) NIV Study Bible - The tabernacle represented God's royal tent. Its form and adornment (like those of the later temples that replaced it) marked it as a symbolic representation of the created cosmos over which God is sovereign as Creator and Lord. As such, it stood for the center of the cosmos from which the Creator reigns, the place where the heavenly and earthly realms converge. There God "lived" among his people (Immanuel, "God with us"), and his people could come near to him (see note on Ge 26:3). At this sanctuary Israel lived symbolically at the gate of Paradise—very near though still outside, awaiting the fulfillment of God's redemptive program (see Ex 26:31-35; Ge 3:24; see also Rev 21:1-22:6). POSB - Introduction: note the magnitude of the following statement: the great Creator of the Universe—the Sovereign Lord and Majesty of all—wants to dwell among His people. God wants to dwell in a world...where many people ignore and scorn Him, where many people curse and deny Him, where many people have allowed sin to run rampant in their lives, where people have even killed His Son, His only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. The picture of the Tabernacle reveals God taking steps to give man a personal relationship with Himself. In having the Tabernacle built, it is important to note: God was not cheapening Himself by dwelling among His people. God was not demeaning His holy character by associating with sinful men. God was not compromising His greatness by coming down to live with people. The truth is this: by coming to earth to live with people, God was revealing His great compassion and love for people. In fact, God was teaching His people two basic things through the Tabernacle: 1.God loved His people and wanted to be with them, wanted to dwell and live among them. 2. God had to be approached by His people in the right way, exactly as God dictated. (Preacher's Outline & Sermon Bible – Exodus II) NET Note - This chapter is given over to the details of the structure itself, the curtains, coverings, boards and walls and veil. The passage can be studied on one level for its function both practically and symbolically for Israel’s worship. On another level it can be studied for its typology, for the tabernacle and many of its parts speak of Christ. For this one should see the commentaries. This to me is a humbling point. It is staggering to think that God would actually permit sinful people to build Him something that He would view as so sacred that He would actually choose to allow His special presence to be there. These Israelites had some real spiritual issues and spiritual problems. These were very sinful people. The fact that God would even have anything to do with sinful humanity whatsoever is totally amazing; let alone let that humanity build Him a structure where He would agree to makes His presence known in. (Exodus 26) Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet material - Note that Tabernacle here refers to the tent of meeting, not the larger structure that includes the courtyard (Ex 27:9–19). Tabernacle is first in the Hebrew text for emphasis. These are the inside curtains that cover the wooden frame and from the outside would be invisible to the lay people (cf Ex 26:7). With this mixture of rich colors of blue, purple, and scarlet, the curtains were without doubt breathtaking. For comments on fine linen see Ex 25:4+. It makes sense that God would begin from the inside out, from the most holy aspect. This set of curtains can only be seen from inside. David
