CHAPTER 38
Exodus 38:21-31
Exo 38:21 These were the visitations (mustering, numbering) of the Tabernacle, the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Witness), which were visited (mustered, numbered), upon (over) the mouth of Moses for the Service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron, the Priest. 22 And Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, did (made) ta-all which hwhy commanded ta-Moses. 23 And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a engraver (craftsman, artificer), and a weaver (embroiderer, fabricator, plaiter, deviser), and a fabricator (texturer, cunning work, needler) in the blue, and in the purple, and in the crimson (red) worm [(worm of the crimson (red))], and in the linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen).
24 All of the gold that was used for the work in all of the Work of the Sacred Area, and the gold of the Wave Offering was nine and twenty talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels on the Shekel (Scale) of the Sacred Area. 25 And the silver that was visited (mustered, counted) of the Congregation was a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and the five and seventy shekels on the Shekel (Scale) of the Sacred Area: 26 A bekah for a head (skull) was from the half shekel on the Shekel (Scale) of the Sacred Area, for all that had gone over upon the visitation (mustering, numbering), from a son of twenty years and the upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and the five hundred and the fifty. 27 And were the hundred talents of the silver for molding (casting, moltening, pouring out) ta the Sockets of the Sacred Area and ta the Sockets of the Veil; a hundred Sockets for the hundred talents, a talent for a Socket. 28 And ta-the thousand and the seven hundred and the five and seventy shekels was done (made) of Nails for the Pillars, and overlaid (sheeted over) their Pillars, and attached (clinged, delighted) them. 29 And the copper of the Wave Offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels. 30 And did (made) on her ta-the Sockets of the Entrance of the Tent of Appointment, and ta the Altar of the Copper, and ta-the Grill Cover (Grate Cover) of Copper which was for him, and ta all of the Vessels of the altar, 31 And ta-the Sockets of the Court all round, and ta-the Sockets of the Gate of the Court, and ta all of the Pins (Pegs) of the Tabernacle, and ta-all the Pins (Pegs) of the Court all round.
(NOTE: Not all verses will have comments).
A question that came to me is "How much is a talent?". Caclulating from this P'kudey Torah portion passage, there were 603,550 men who were twenty years and upward. Each gave 1/2 shekel. Calculating:
603,550 x .5 (1/2 in decimal) = 301,775
Take the 1,775 shekels from 301,775 we get 300,000. This is the total for the 100 talents. So we divide:
300,000 / 100 = 3,000 shekels
This tells us that one talent equals 3,000 shekels. That means it takes 6,000 men to give a talent.
It also says that one talent of silver, 3,000 shekels, was used for one Hook for the Tabernacle.
I wished I knew how much is one Biblical shekel is worth in today's U.S. dollars?
Verse twenty four
24 All of the gold that was used for the work in all of the Work of the Sacred Area, and the gold of the Wave Offering was nine and twenty talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels on the Shekel (Scale) of the Sacred Area.
A talent is worth 3,000 shekels, and and all of the gold would be 72,730 shekels. For a half shekel each, that means 145,460 men provided them. Also twenty four talents would equal to twenty four Menorahs, Lamps and the Vessels for the Lamps for the Tabernacle.
Verse twenty six
26 A bekah for a head (skull) was from the half shekel on the Shekel (Scale) of the Sacred Area,...
Looking at the word BEKA
The Hebrew word "beh-kah"- Bet, Kuph, Ayin (eqb) is from Strong's Concordance number 1235, and its definition
From H1234; a section (half) of a shekel, that is, a beka (a weight and a coin): - bekah, half a shekel.
It comes from number 1234 "bah-kah" (eqb), and its definition
A primitive root; to cleave; generally to rend, break, rip or open: - make a breach, break forth (into, out, in pieces, through, up), be ready to burst, cleave (asunder), cut out, divide, hatch, rend (asunder), rip up, tear, win.
This is where we get our modern English word "buck". So a buck back then was worth a half a shekel. Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries noted that this is an act of breaking the shekel. Aside, if someone asks you "Can I borrow a buck?', you can reply "Sorry, I can't break a shekel to a half-shekel" :).
Looking at the shekels, this reveals to us that the shekel is based by weight for silver pieces. In other words, there were no regulated shaped uniforming coins used for the weighing, but silver chunks and pieces used for weighing. Imagine yourself holding a handful of silver chunks and pieces in your hand. That was their source of purchasing and selling. Can one imagine a movie scene seeing each man twenty years and up giving various sized pieces of silver totaling 1/2 shekel apiece on a scale weighed by the Levitical Priests? Also, picture a movie scene seeing those men putting pieces of silver from their money pouches onto a weigh scale in front of the Levitical Priests. That is awe inspiring to me.
Verses twenty seven and twenty eight
27 And were the hundred talents of the silver for molding (casting, moltening, pouring out) ta the Sockets of the Sacred Area and ta the Sockets of the Veil; a hundred Sockets for the hundred talents, a talent for a Socket. 28 And ta-the thousand and the seven hundred and the five and seventy shekels was done (made) of Nails for the Pillars, and overlaid (sheeted over) their Pillars, and attached (clinged, delighted) them.
The hundred talents of silver that came from the 603,550 men that gave a half talent each, was used for the Sockets of the Sanctuary and the Sockets of the Veil, each weighing a talent apiece, the same weight apiece for the Menorah, the Lamps and the vessels for the Lamps in the Tabernacle. If we go by "the gold standard" in talents, that's a hundred Menorahs, Lamps and its vessels in weight per socket. Question: "Is the weight for a talent of silver different from the weight for a talent of gold, or are they the same weight measures for a talent"? It is possible.
Also, the 1,775 shekels (1,775 "bucks"), under two thirds of a talent, was used to make nails. That's a lot of nails.
Notice the number for the shekels of silver, in verse twenty eight, used to make nails for the pillars- 1,775 shekels. Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries revealed that this is the same number relating to the year 1775, the beginning of the Revolutionary War.
Verse twenty nine
29 And the copper of the Wave Offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
The weight of the copper was seventy talents, 2,400 shekels. That is 272,400 shekels, equivalent to 544,800 men. That's over seventy Menorahs, Lamps, and Vessels for the Menorah. It is possible that the weight for a talent of copper is the same weight for the silver and gold.
CHAPTER 39
Exodus 39:1-43
Exo 39:1 And from the blue, and the purple, and the crimson (red) worm [(worm of crimson (red))], they did (made) Stitched Garments for the Service in the Sanctuary, and they did (made) ta-the Sacred (Holy) Garments which were for Aaron; as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses. 2 And did (made) ta-the Ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and the crimson (red) worm [(worm of crimson (red))], and twisted (twined) linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen).
3 And they pounded (beaten, hammered) ta-the sheets of the gold and had cut (chopped) threads to do (work) in the midst of the blue, and in the midst of the purple, and in the midst of the crimson (red) worm [(worm of crimson (red))], and in the midst of the linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), the work of a weaver (embroiderer, fabricator, deviser, interpenetrater).
4 They did (made) Upper Arm Corners (Shoulders) for him, joined upon (over) the two of his edges (ends). 5 And the Belt (Band) of his Ephod which was upon (over) him, he was according to his doing (work); of gold, blue, and purple, and the crimson (red) worm [(worm of crimson (red))], and twisted (twined) linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen); as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses.
6 And they did (made) ta-the Stones of the onyx enclosed of Broaches (Brocades) of gold, with carvings (sculptings. openings), of carvings (sculptings. openings) of a Signet Ring, upon the Names of the Sons of Israel, 7 and were put them upon the Upper Arm Corners (Shoulders) of the Ephod of stones of a Remembrance (Memorial) to the Sons of Israel; as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses.
8 And did (made) ta-the Pocket (Breast Pocket), a doing (work) of a weaver (embroiderer, fabricator, plaiter, deviser, interpenetrater) like the doing (work) of the Ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and the crimson (red) worm [(worm of crimson (red))], and twisted (twined) linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen). 9 Square; they did (made) ta-the Pocket (Breast Pocket) double (coupled): a hand span was his length, and a hand span was his width, doubled (coupled). 10 And they filled (set) in him four rows of Stones: and the row had a sardius (ruby), a topaz, and a carbuncle: the first row. 11 And the second row had an emerald (turquoise), a sapphire, and a diamond. 12 And the third row had a ligure (jacinth, opal), an agate, and an amethyst. 13 And the fourth row had a beryl (chrysolite), an onyx, and a jasper: enclosed in Broaches (Brocades, Ouches) of gold in their fillings (settings). 14 And the Stones upon the names of the Sons of Israel were two ten (twoteen, twelve), upon their names were an carving (sculpting. opening) of a Signet (Seal, Ring), a man upon his Name to the two ten (twoteen, twelve) tribes. 15 And they did (made) upon (over) the Pocket (Breast Pocket) of twisted Chains of cordal (wreathen) doing (work) of pure gold.
16 And they did (made) two Broaches (Brocades, Ouches) of gold and two gold Rings; and they gave ta-the two Rings upon (over) the two ends (edges) of the Pocket (Breast Pocket). 17 And they gave the two Cords (Wreaths) of gold upon (over) the two Rings upon the ends (edges) of the Pocket (Breast Pocket). 18 And ta the two ends (edges) of the two Cords (Wreaths), they gave upon (over) the two Broaches (Brocades, Ouches), and they gave them upon (over) the Upper Arm Corners (Shoulders) of the Ephod, to the front of his face. 19 And they did (made) the two Rings of gold, and they set him upon (over) the two ends of the Pocket (Breast Pocket), upon (over) his lip (edge), which was to over the Ephod housingward (inward). 20 And they did (made) the two Rings of gold, and they gave them upon (over) the two Upper Arm Corners (Shoulders) of the Ephod from below (beneath), from the front of his face, by associating (being beside, societizing, huddling together) his joining, from above the Belt (Band) of the Ephod. 21 And they bound ta-the Pocket (Breast Pocket) with his Rings to the Rings of the Ephod on a string (ribbon) of blue to be upon (over) the Belt (Band) of the Ephod, and the Pocket (Breast Pocket) shall not be loosened from upon (over) the Ephod; as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses.
22 And did (made) ta-the Outer Robe (Upper Robe) [(?Trespass Robe?, ?Transgressor Robe?)] of the Ephod of a doing (work) of a braider (rugger, weaver), all of blue. 23 And the Mouth of the Outer Robe (Upper Robe) [(?Trespass Robe?, ?Transgressor Robe?)] was in his midst as the Mouth of a habergeon (corselet, sleeveless coat, ?glow coat?, ?armored mail?), a Lip was around to his Mouth, shall not be rent (torn).
24 And they did (made) upon the hem of the Outer Robe (Upper Robe) Pomegranates of blue, and purple, and crimson (red) worm [(worm of crimson (red))] twisted (twined). 25 And they (did (made) Round Bells of pure gold, and they gave ta-the Round Bells in the midst of the Pomegranates upon (over) the hem of the Outer Robe (Upper Robe) [(?Trespass Robe?, ?Transgressor Robe?)] , around in the midst of the Pomegranates; 26 A Round Bell and a pomegranate, a Round Bell and a Pomegranate, upon the hem of the Outer Robe (Upper Robe) [(?Trespass Robe?, ?Transgressor Robe?)] all around, for ministering; as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses.
27 And they did (made) ta-the Coats (Tunics) of linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), a doing (work) of a fabricator (texturer, cunning worker, needleworker), for Aaron, and for his sons, 28 And ta the Turban (Mitre) of linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), and ta-the Embellished (Fancy) Bonnets of linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), and ta-the Breeches of flax (bahd-linen), of twisted (twined) linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), 29 And the Girdle of twisted (twined) linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), and blue, and purple, and crimson (red) worm [(worm of the crimson (red))], a doing (work) of a fabricator (texturer, cunning work, needler); as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses.
30 And they did (made) ta-the Plate of the Sacred (Holy) Crown of pure gold, and they wrote upon (over) him from a writing of the carving (sculpting. opening) of a Signet Ring, HOLINESS TO YAHWAH. 31 And they gave upon him a Thread (Ribbon) of blue to give upon (over) the Turban (Mitre) from by above; as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses.
32 And all of the Service of the Tabernacle of the Tent of Appointment, she was finished: and the Sons of Israel, they did as all which hwhy commanded ta-Moses, so they did.
33 And they brought ta-the Tabernacle to Moses, ta-the Tent, and ta-all of his Vessels, his Buckles (Taches), his Boards, his Bars, and his Pillars, and his Sockets, 34 And ta-the Covering of the skins of the rams of red, and ta-the Covering of skins of clean animals (kosher animals, antelopes, dugongs, ?badgers?), and ta the Veil of the Covering, 35 ta-the Ark of the Testimony (Witness), and ta-his Poles, and ta the Mercy Seat (Atoning Seat), 36 ta-the Table, and ta-all of his Vessels, and ta the Bread of the Faces, 37 ta-the Pure Menorah, ta-her Lamps, the Lamps of the Arrangement, and ta-all of her Vessels, and ta the Oil of the Light, 38 and ta the Altar of the Gold, and ta the Oil of the Anointing, and ta the Incense of the Sweetness (Aroma), and ta the Screen Cover (Screen Curtain) of the Entrance of the Tent, 39 ta-the Altar of Copper and ta-the Grill Cover (Grate Cover) of the Copper which belongs to him, ta-his Poles, and ta-all of his Vessels, ta-the Laver and ta-his Base, 40 ta the Slings (Sling Screens, Screens, Leaves, Valves, Hangings) of the Court, ta-her Pillars, and ta-her Sockets, and ta-the Screen Cover (Screen Curtain) for the Gate of the Court, ta-his Cords, and her Pins (Pegs), and ta all of the Vessels of the Service of the Tabernacle for the Tent of Appointment, 41 ta-the Stiched Garments for the Ministry in the Sanctuary, and ta-the Sacred (Holy) Garments for Aaron, the Priest, and ta-the Garments of his sons, for the Priestship (Priestly Acts). 42 According to (As) all which hwhy commanded ta-Moses, so the Sons of Israel, they did ta all of the Service. 43 And Moses saw ta-all of the work, and behold, they did her as the which hwhy had commanded, so they did: and Moses blessed them.
(NOTE: Not all verses will have comments).
Verses one and two
1 And from the blue, and the purple, and the crimson (red) worm [(worm of crimson (red))], they did (made) Stitched Garments for the Service in the Sanctuary, and they did (made) ta-the Sacred (Holy) Garments which were for Aaron; as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses. 2 And did (made) ta-the Ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and the crimson (red) worm [(worm of crimson (red))], and twisted (twined) linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen).
Notice in verse one of this week's Torah portion passage that it does not include the linen when making the Garments for Aaron as it shows in verse two. Why didn't hwhy include the linen in verse one? I don't have an answer to that at this time.
Verse three
3 And they pounded (beaten, hammered) ta-the sheets of the gold and had cut (chopped) threads to do (work) in the midst of the blue, and in the midst of the purple, and in the midst of the crimson (red) worm [(worm of crimson (red))], and in the midst of the linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), the work of a weaver (embroiderer, fabricator, deviser, interpenetrater).
The gold was put into each of the red threads, the blue threads, and the purple threads. The gold in the differnet colored threads is symbolic of the eternalness of each meaning of the colors:
Gold: Kingdom, Eternal, Perfection
Blue: Heaven
Purple: Royalty
Crimson worm: Blood, Atonement, Sacrifice
Applying the gold to each of the colors, this is what they represent:
Gold in Crimson worm: Eternal Blood, Atonement and Sacrifice of Yeshua
Gold in Blue: Eternal Heavenly Presence of Yeshua
Gold in Purple: Eternal Kingship of Yeshua
These are the best examples by far of what the gold is like in each of the colored strings. This kind of string is called the Lirux string
Apply these strings to the image of the different colored strings woven as posted previously, and you can get a good idea what the Ephod really looks like (just add some sun shades, a disco ball and........ never mind).
Looking at the word CUT (CHOPPED)
The Hebrew word for cut (chopped) is "Kah-tsats"- Kuph, Tsade, Tsade Sophit (Uuq) is from Strong's Concordance number 7112, and its definition
A primitive root; to chop off (literally or figuratively): - cut (asunder, in pieces, in sunder, off), X utmost.
A
This is where we get our modern English word "cut" or "cuts".
Verse twenty-one
21 And they bound ta-the Pocket (Breast Pocket) with his Rings to the Rings of the Ephod on a string (ribbon) of blue to be upon (over) the Belt (Band) of the Ephod, and the Pocket (Breast Pocket) shall not be loosened from upon (over) the Ephod; as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses.
This can relate to what is written in the book of the Psalms
Psalm 62:2 He only is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
Verses twenty two and twenty three
22 And did (made) ta-the Outer Robe (Upper Robe) of the Ephod of a doing (work) of a braider (rugger, weaver), all of blue. 23 And the Mouth of the Outer Robe (Upper Robe) was in his midst as the Mouth of a habergeon (corselet, sleeveless coat, ?glow coat?, ?armored mail?), a Lip was around to his Mouth, shall not be rent (torn).
The "lip" and the "mouth" of the garment are a representations and symbols of the Word of hwhy being "spoken" forth through the "lips" and the "mouth" of the High Priest's garment.
This is a rough sketch of the mouth and lip of the blue robe
Based on the Blue Robe, if we take it at its word, this is the key garment that would nullify one as the High Priest, otherwise, hwhy would not have made a big deal about it to make it so that it would not rent. This is a key example regarding the High Priest's garment being rent, which is noted in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark
Matthew 26:65 Then the High Priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now ye have heard His blasphemy.
Mark 14:63 Then the High Priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?
This was Caiaphas, who was the current High Priest during Yeshua's time, until he rented his High Priest garment, then Yeshua took over the High Priesthood.
Also, when Caiaphas "rent" the garment, he did it at the "lip" and "mouth" of the garment. In other words, Caiaphas destroyed the lip and mouth that speaks the Word of hwhy, thus nullified the garments ability to "speak" the Word through the High Priest's garment. It is just as well that Caiaphas rented his "lip" and "mouth", because he was speaking against the Word of hwhy.
This is another scene of a garment without seam which occurred at Yeshua's crucifixion, which is noted in the Gospel of John
John 19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Yeshua, took His garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also His Coat: now the Coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
The scripture source in verse twenty four of John came from king David, which is noted in the book of Psalms
Psalm 22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
When Yeshua cried out "Eli! Eli! Lama aza-tani", He was crying out to read Psalm chapter twenty two, because things in this chapter were being fulfilled at the crucifixion like the parting of the garments in verse eighteen.
Yeshua's garment, now the High Priest garment, could not be rent, because that would mean the true Word of hwhy would not be spoken with all that Yeshua spoke. So the lip and mouth of the garment were kept in tact. This also shows us that Yeshua is "still" our "Eternal High Priest", which is noted in the apostle Paul's book of Hebrews
Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a Great High Priest, that is passed into the heavens, Yeshua, the Son of Elohim, let us hold fast our profession.
Hebrews 5:5 So also Messiah glorified not Himself to be made an High Priest; but He that said unto Him, Thou art My Son, to day have I begotten Thee. 6 As He saith also in another place, Thou art a Priest for ever after the Order of Melchi Tsedek. 7 Who in the days of His Flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He feared; 8 Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered; 9 And being made Perfect, He became the Author of Eternal Salvation unto all them that obey Him; 10 Called of hwhy an High Priest after the Order of Melchi Tsedek.
!!!hwhy Kl bdk
No one else, even if they could prove that they are a direct descendant of Aaron, cannot be the High Priest, because that very garment was not torn. Anyone who tries, is "illegitimate", and cannot do the High Priestly acts on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Only Yeshua could do that.
Verse twenty four
24 And they did (made) upon the hem of the Outer Robe (Upper Robe) Pomegranates of blue, and purple, and crimson (red) worm [(worm of crimson (red))] twisted (twined).
We have a problem. This is what it says, which is noted in the Torah portion of T'tsavveh, in the book of Exodus
Exodus 28:33 And you shall do (make) upon his Hem Pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of crimson (red) worm [(worm of crimson (red))] upon his Hem all around; and Round Bells of gold in their midst all around: 34 A Round Bell of gold and a Pomegranate, a Round Bell of gold and a Pomegranate upon the Hem of the Outer Robe (Upper Robe) [(?Trespass Robe?, ?Transgressor Robe?)] all around. 35 And shall be upon (over) Aaron for the Ministry [(for ministering)]: and his sound shall be heard in his entering to the Sacred Area (Sanctuary, Holy Area) to the Face of hwhy, and in his coming out (going out); and shall not die.
In this week's Torah portion, the twisted (fine, six-twined) linen is included in making the Pomegranates, but it isn't mentioned at all when noting the Pomegranates in the T'tsavveh passage. Why is that? Which one is correct? If this week's Torah portion passage is correct, why wasn't it mentioned there? If the twisted (fine, six-twined) linen is not to be included, why was is noted in this week's Torah portion passage? Was it added, because Moses forgot to note it, or did hwhy add it later on by telling Moses to include that colored thread in this week's Torah portion passage? If it is so, then these are the symbolic meanings of each of the colored threads:
THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE POMEGRANATES
Blue: Heaven
Purple: Royalty
Crimson worm: Blood, Atonement, Sacrifice
Twisted linen: Righteousness (source: maranathalife.com)/Purity
Verse twenty five
25 And they (did (made) Round Bells of pure gold, and they gave ta-the Round Bells in the midst of the Pomegranates upon (over) the hem of the Outer Robe (Upper Robe) [(?Trespass Robe?, ?Transgressor Robe?)] , around in the midst of the Pomegranates;
The bells are not the typical bells we see in churches and cathedrals, but they are round. Also, I didn't see this until this week's Torah portion, but these round bells were made to have a metal ball inside the round bell to make a "jingle" sound, like "Jingle Bells" or the typical "Sleigh Bells".
This is an image of golden sleigh bells, and could have been a possible pattern for the golden bells for the Robe
Verses twenty seven through twenty nine
27 And they did (made) ta-the Coats (Tunics) of linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), a doing (work) of a fabricator (texturer, cunning worker, needleworker), for Aaron, and for his sons, 28 And ta the Turban (Mitre) of linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), and ta-the Embellished (Fancy) Bonnets of linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), and ta-the Breeches of flax (bahd-linen), of twisted (twined) linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), 29 And the Girdle of twisted (twined) linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), and blue, and purple, and crimson (red) worm [(worm of the crimson (red))], a doing (work) of a fabricator (texturer, cunning work, needler); as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses.
We do not know how many Levites were dressed for the Priesthood, but we can get an idea, which is noted in the Torah portion of B'midbar, in the book of Numbers
Numbers 3:40 And hwhy said to Moses, Visit (Account, Count) every firstborn remembered one (male) of the Sons of Israel from a son of a renewed month and the upward (ascending), and lift up (bear, carry) ta the enrollment (scroll, number) of their names. 41 And you shall take ta-the Levites for Myself, I am hwhy, instead of every firstborn among the Sons of Israel; and ta the animals of the Levites instead of every firstborn among the animals of the Sons of Israel. 42 And Moses visited (accounted, counted), as the which hwhy commanded him, ta-all the firstborn among the Sons of Israel. 43 And were all of the firstborn remembered ones (males) on the scroll (enrollment, number) of names, from a son of a renewed month and the upward (ascending), of their visit (account, count) were two and twenty thousand, three and seventy and two hundred.
This count is based from a son of a month and upward of 22,273, but this is what it says, which is noted in the Torah portion of B'ha-alothkhah, in the book of Numbers, it reveals this
Numbers 8:23 And hwhy spoke to Moses, to say, 24 This is which belongs to the Levites: from a son of five and twenty years and the upward (ascending) shall go in to muster (amassing, arming) an Army (a Muster, A Mass, a Campaign) in the Service of the Tent of Appointment: 25 and from a son of fifty years shall return from the Army (a Muster, A Mass, a Campaign) of the Service, and shall not serve anymore (again):
If we can "guesstimate" the amount of Levites doing the service of the Tent of Appointment from twenty to fifty years old, it could be between 15,000 and 18,000 able to do the service. Thinking on this, of at least this amount, if not double, of the People who took the time to weave all these Priestly Garments for the Levites to do the Priestly Service, I do not think that there was just one change of clothing made, as we know later in the Torah, a certain amount of Priests would have to change their garments to stay unclean until the mixing period (evening). A good example of that is the account of the Red Heifer, which is noted in the Torah portion of Khukath, in the book of Numbers
Numbers 19:7 And the Priest shall wash his Garments and shall bathe his flesh in the water, and afterward shall come to the Camp, and the Priest shall be unclean until the mixing period (evening).
We can take a rough guess of how many garments they could have made and how long it took for them to make them. If they had guaranteed two changes of garments, that would be roughly between 30,000 and 36,000 garments.
Verse thirty two
32 And all of the Service of the Tabernacle of the Tent of Appointment, she was finished: and the Sons of Israel, they did as all which hwhy commanded ta-Moses, so they did.
Indirectly related, Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries noted this, which is noted by the apostle Peter in his epistle
1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a Spiritual House, an Holy Priesthood, to offer up Spiritual Sacrifices, acceptable to hwhy by Yeshua, the Messiah.
This is because we are His Body, a.k.a. "His Tabernacle".
Bill Cloud also noted that the Israelites were given tasks to finish, and there was no stopping part way. Bill related this that we believers in Messiah are to run a spiritual race, which is noted by the apostle Paul in his letter to the assembly in Corinth
1 Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
Running the race is an act to fulfill the Calling hwhy has for all of us as believers. This is the same matter for the Israelites to "finish the race" making the items to make the Tabernacle.
This chapter was for the Israelites to finish the items for the Tabernacle for Moses to erect, as it will be seen in the next chapter of this week's Torah portion.
CHAPTER 40
Exodus 40:1-38
Exo 40:1 And hwhy spoke to Moses, to say, 2 On the day of the first renewed month, on the one of the renewed month, you shall raise up ta-the Tabernacle of the Tent of Appointment. 3 And you shall put (set) ta the Ark of the Testimony (Witness) there, and you shall booth (hedge, protect, defend) upon the Ark at ta-the Veil. 4 And you shall bring in ta-the Table, and you shall arrange ta-his arrangement; and you shall bring ta-the Menorah, and you shall ascend ta-her Lamps. 5 And you shall give ta-the Altar of Gold for the Incense to the face of the Ark of the Testimony (Witness), and you shall set (put) ta-the Screen Cover (Screen Curtain) of the Entance to the Tabernacle. 6 And you shall give ta the Altar of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) to the face of the Entrance of the Tabernacle of the Tent of Appointment. 7 And you shall give ta-the Laver between the Tent of the Appointment and between the Altar, and you shall give water there. 8 And you shall set up (put up) ta-the Court all around, and you shall give ta-the Screen Cover (Screen Curtain) of the Gate of the Court.
9 And you shall take ta-the Oil of the Anointing, and you shall anoint ta-the Tabernacle and ta-all which is in him, and you shall sanctify him, and ta-all of his Vessels: and shall be Sacred (Holy). 10 And you shall anoint ta-the Altar of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), and ta-all of his Vessels, and you shall sanctify ta-the Altar: and the Altar shall be a Sacred (Holy) of Sacreds (Holies) [(Sacred of Sacreds Holy of Holies)].
11 And you shall anoint ta-the Laver and ta-his Base, and you shall sanctify him. 12 And you shall bring near ta-Aaron and ta-his sons to the Entrance of the Tent of Appointment, and you shall wash them in the water. 13 And you shall clothe upon ta-Aaron ta the Sacred (Holy) Garments, and you shall anoint him, and you shall sanctify him; and shall do the Priestship [(do Priestly Acts)] for Me.
14 And you shall bring near ta-his sons, and you shall clothe them of Coats (Tunics): 15 And you shall anoint them as the which you anointed ta-their father, and they shall do the Priestship [(do Priestly Acts)] for Me: and you shall be to be for them their anointing for a Priesthood of Ages for their generations. 16 And Moses did according to (as) all which hwhy commanded him, so had did.
17 And was, in the first renewed month in the second year, on the one of the renewed month, the Tabernacle was raised up. 18 And Moses raised up ta-the Tabernacle, and gave ta-his Sockets, and set up (put up) ta-his Boards, and gave ta-his Bars, and raised up ta-his Pillars. 19 And spread out (stretched out) ta-the Tent upon (over) the Tabernacle, and set (put) ta-the Screen Cover (Screen Curtain) of the Tent upon (over) him from by above; as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses.
20 And took and gave ta-the Testimony (Witness) to the Ark, and put (set) ta-the Poles upon (over?) the Ark, and gave ta-the Mercy Seat (Atoning Seat) upon (over) the Ark from by above: 21 And brought ta-the Ark to the Tabernacle, and set up (put up) ta the Veil of the Screen Cover (Screen Curtain), and cover (screen, hedge, protect, defend) upon (over) the Ark of the Testimony (Witness); as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses.
22 And gave ta-the Table in the Tent of the Appointment upon (over) the flank (shaft, trunk, thigh, ?testacle?, side) of the Tabernacle hiddenward (northward) from outside by the Veil. 23 And arranged upon (over) him an arrangement (order) of the Bread to the Face of hwhy; as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses.
24 And set (put) ta-the Menorah in the Tent of the Appointment opposite the Table upon (over) the flank (shaft, trunk, thigh, ?testacle?, side) of the Tabernacle negevward (southward). 25 And ascended the Lamps to the Face of hwhy; as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses.
26 And set (put) ta-the Altar of the Gold in the Tent of Appointment to the facing of the Veil: 27 And incensed (smoked, fumigated, burned) upon (over) him Incense of Sweetness (Aroma); as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses.
28 And set (put) ta-the Screen Cover (Screen Curtain) of the Entrance to the Tabernacle. 29 And was there ta the Altar of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) at the Entrance of the Tabernacle of the Tent of the Appointment, and elevated upon him ta-the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) and ta-the Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering); as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses.
30 And set (put) ta-the Laver between the Tent of the Appointment and between the Altar, and gave water there for washing. 31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons, they washed ta-their hands and ta-their feet from him: 32 In their entering (going) to the Tent of Appointment, and in their drawing near to the Altar, they were washed; as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses.
33 And raised up ta-the Screen Cover (Screen Curtain) all around of the Tabernacle and of the Altar, and was given ta-the Screen Cover (Screen Curtain) of the Gate of the Court. And Moses finished ta-the work.
34 And the Cloud covered (concealed) ta-the Tent of the Appointment, and the Glory of hwhy filled ta-the Tabernacle. 35 And Moses was not able to enter (go) to the Tent of the Appointment, for the Cloud dwelled (tabernacled) upon him, and the Glory of hwhy filled ta-the Tabernacle. 36 And in the ascending of the Cloud from upon (over) the Tabernacle, and the Sons of Israel, they journeyed (pulled up) in all of their journeys: 37 And if the Cloud did not ascend, and they did not journey (pull up) until the day of His ascending. 38 For the Cloud of hwhy was upon (over) the Tabernacle daily, and the Fire, she was on him nightly to the eyes of all of the House of Israel, in all of their journeys.
(NOTE: Not all verses will have comments).
Verses one and two
1 And hwhy spoke to Moses, to say, 2 On the day of the first renewed month, on the one of the renewed month, you shall raise up ta-the Tabernacle of the Tent of Appointment.
Moses was told to start erecting the Tabernacle, starting on the first day of the first month in the second year, which is the Biblical month of Aviv/Nissan. Why did hwhy pick this particular day to start erect the Tabernacle? Because hwhy was saying to Moses that He wanted to start the Biblical New Year by having the Tabernacle erected. I did a brief teaching that the Biblical New Year did not start in the seventh Biblical month of Ethanim/Tishri with scriptural proof. You can find it on the Holidays and Holy Days link, under the title "Rosh HaShanah, The Biblical New Year?" by clicking on the link below to get to the webpage.
ROSH HASHANAH, THE BIBLICAL NEW YEAR?
Verse fifteen
15 And you shall anoint them as the which you anointed ta-their father, and they shall do the Priestship [(do Priestly Acts)] for Me: and you shall be to be for them their anointing for a Priesthood of Ages for their generations.
What this says is that Moses (Moshe in Hebrew), is the Messiah (Moshiakh, in Hebrew which is Moshe in full name) who is "the Anointed One", which is what the definiton of Messiah means, for we as believers in Messiah who are His Preists, which is noted in the apostle John's book of Revelation
Revelation 1:5 And from Yeshua Messsiah, who is the Faithful Witness, and the First Begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own Blood, 6 And hath made us Kings and Priests unto hwhy and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Verse seventeen
17 And was, in the first renewed month in the second year, on the one of the renewed month, the Tabernacle was raised up.
In my opinion, it looks like that Moses wasn't the only one to have raised the Tabernacle, but had help most likely from his Levitical relatives who would be the Priests for the Tabernacle, because based on verses one and two of this week's Torah potion chapter, Moses had the Tabernacle erected within one day's time, within twenty four hours before the sunset to begin the second day.
Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb Ministries noted that this was the one year anniversary, but it wasn't when they left Egypt. It was this account, which is noted in the Torah portion of Bo, in the book of Exodus
Exodus 12:1 And hwhy spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, to say, 2 This renewed month shall be to you the head of renewed months: he shall be to you the first for the renewed months of the year.
This is the same day, one year earlier, hwhy told Moses to begin the Biblical New Year in this first month of Aviv/Nissan.
Also, after their arrival to Mount Sinai on the fifteenth day of the third Biblical month of Sivan in the first year of their wilderness journey, they settled there for nine and a half months, 285 days, by the time Moses started to set up the Tabernacle on day one, month one, in their second year of their journey.
Verse thirty three
33 And raised up ta-the Screen Cover (Screen Curtain) all around of the Tabernacle and of the Altar, and was given ta-the Screen Cover (Screen Curtain) of the Gate of the Court. And Moses finished ta-the work.
As I noted in the previous Torah portion passage, he could not have done it by himself. He had to have help with his Levitical brothers in assembling it.
Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries compared this week's Torah portion passage to when hwhy finished creation, which is noted in the Torah portion of B'reyshith, in the book of Genesis
Genesis 2:1 And the Heavens and the Earth and all of their host (armies), they were finished. 2 And in the seventh day, Elohim finished His work which was done (made), and reposed (desisted, rested, relaxed, shabbated) on the seventh day from all of His work which was done (made). 3 And Elohim blessed ta-the seventh day and sanctified him, for in him had reposed (desisted, rested, relaxed, shabbated) from all of His work, which Elohim created for the doing (making).
As hwhy created the Heavens and the Earth and finished, so did Moses erected the Tabernacle and was finished.
Bill Cloud also compared this Torah passage to a verse, which is noted in the Gospel of John
John 1:14 And the Word was made Flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His Glory, the Glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father,) full of Grace and Truth.
Verses thirty four and thirty five
34 And the Cloud covered (concealed) ta-the Tent of the Appointment, and the Glory of hwhy filled ta-the Tabernacle. 35 And Moses was not able to enter (go) to the Tent of the Appointment, for the Cloud dwelled (tabernacled) upon him, and the Glory of hwhy filled ta-the Tabernacle.
Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries compared this week's Torah portion's passage to Solomon's Temple, which is noted in the book of the Kings
1 Kings 6:1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the Sons of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the House of hwhy.... 37 In the fourth year was the foundation of the House of hwhy laid, in the month Zif: 38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the House finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.... 7:51 So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the House of hwhy. And Solomon brought in ta-the Holy Things of David, his father; even ta-the silver, and ta-the gold, and ta-the Vessels, did he put among the treasures of the House of hwhy.... 8:10 And it came to pass, when the Priests were come out of the Sanctuary, that the Cloud filled ta-the House of hwhy, 11 So that the Priests could not stand to minister because of the Cloud: for the Glory of hwhy had filled ta-the House of hwhy.
Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries also compared this week's Torah portion passage to John 1:14 in beholding Yeshua's Glory, which is noted above.
John 1:14 ...and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only begotten of the Father,...
NON-VERSED COMMENTS
This phrase "...as which hwhy commanded ta-Moses..." is mentioned seven times in this week's Torah portion chapter. Overall, it was mentioned fourteen times in this week's Torah portion
Also the phrase, "...you shall..." is mentioned thirty times in this week's Torah portion chapter. It is commonly accepted that this number is the same age that Yeshua started His Ministry.
Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries noted the reason that Moses was to be the one to erect and finish the Tabernacle, because hwhy gave the Patterns of the items for the Tabernacle to him to build it.
This is a comparison chart between the order hwhy gave to Moses to make the Tent, the furniture and the High Priest/regular Priests' Garments:
GREEN: Tabernacle Items
ORANGE: Tent Furniture Items
BLUE: High Priest/Regular Priests' Garment Items

Notice in comparing the order in these two lists that the items did not stay in the same order that hwhy told to Moses.
The three items not mentioned in Exodus chapters 35-39, in the Torah portion of T'tsavveh, in the book of Exodus of the making process that hwhy said for Moses to make was the oil for the Lamps, the Urim and the Thummim and the High Priest Head Mitre. Why were they not mentioned when they were making the Tabernacle? They were mentioned in the preparation and after it was finished, but not during the making process. I don't have an answer to that at this time.
Did hwhy have a reason not mentioning these three items during the constructive process in T'tsavveh? I do not have the answer at this time.
Rico Cortes of Wisdom in Torah Ministries noted in 2011's Torah portion of Vay-yak-heyl that the pagan temples and the Roman churches positioned the entrances of their buildings on the "west end", making the people and priests look toward the direction of the sun rising- looking at the creation of hwhy. Whereas hwhy's Tabernacle entrance is positioned in the "east end" where the High Priest looks away from the position of the sun rising toward hwhy, looking at the Creator.
Rico Cortes also noted that in an Egyptian camp, the king would be in the center of the camp as a means of physical presence, and the king located in the center would be protected the most. But in the Camp of Israel, hwhy would be in the center of the Tabernacle, but based in the Torah portion of B'midbar, in the book of Numbers, in chapter two, instead of armed personnel to defend the unseen king, it would be "unarmed Priests". Thank you Rico.
For your information, the time frame from Exodus 1:1 to 40:38 was between 90 and 100 years.
Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb Ministries noted that the word "did", in this Torah portion, is also the same for, a portion of the time, "made".
Looking at the word DID (MADE)
The Hebrew word for did (made) is "ah-sah"- Ayin, Shin, Heh (hse). It is from Strong's Concordance number 6213, and its definition
A primitive root; to do or make, in the broadest sense and widest application: - accomplish, advance, appoint, apt, be at, become, bear, bestow, bring forth, bruise, be busy, X certainly, have the charge of, commit, deal (with), deck, + displease, do, (ready) dress (-ed), (put in) execute (-ion), exercise, fashion, + feast, [fight-] ing man, + finish, fit, fly, follow, fulfil, furnish, gather, get, go about, govern, grant, great, + hinder, hold ([a feast]), X indeed, + be industrious, + journey, keep, labour, maintain, make, be meet, observe, be occupied, offer, + officer, pare, bring (come) to pass, perform, practise, prepare, procure, provide, put, requite, X sacrifice, serve, set, shew, X sin, spend, X surely, take, X thoroughly, trim, X very, + vex, be [warr-] ior, work (-man), yield, use.
Monte noted that this word is a word that shows an act of process, meaning that it is "ongoing" at the moment.
Overall, this Tabernacle is symbolic of Yeshua, the Living Tabernacle who came down and dwelt, or "tabernacled" among us, which is noted in the Gospel of John
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. 2 The Same was in the beginning with Elohim. 3 All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made.... 14 And the Word was made Flesh, and dwelt (tabernacled) among us, (and we beheld His Glory, the Glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father,) full of Grace and Truth.
Looking at the word DWELT
The Greek word for did is "skey-noh-oh" (skhnow). It is from Strong's Concordance number 4637, and its definition
From G4636; to tent or encamp, that is, (figuratively) to occupy (as a mansion) or (specifically) to reside (as God did in the Tabernacle of old, a symbol fo protection and communion): - dwell.
from 4636 "skey-nohs" (skhnoj), and its definition
From G4633; a hut or temporary residence, that is, (figuratively) the human body (as the abode of the spirit): - tabernacle.
from 4633 "skey-ney" (skhnh), and its definition
Apparently akin to G4632 and G4639; a tent or cloth hut (literally or figuratively): - habitation, tabernacle.
from 4632 "skey-oos" (skhow=j), and its definition
Of uncertain affinity; a vessel, implement, equipment or apparatus (literally or figuratively [specifically a wife as contributing to the usefulness of the husband]): - goods, sail, stuff, vessel.
This is where we get our modern English word "skin".
Yeshua's Tabernacle, the symbol of the Tabernacle of Moses, was His "Skin".
Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries noted that the Tabernacle will be built in Jerusalem for the 1,000 year "Shabbatical reign" of Yeshua on earth, which the apostle John noted in the book of Revelation
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heavens and a new earth: for the first heavens and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I, John, saw the Holy City, new Jerusalem, coming down from hwhy out of the heavens, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of the heavens saying, Behold, the Tabernacle of hwhy is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His People, and hwhy, Himself, shall be with them, and be their Elohim.
You can find all the information that I wrote about the Tent of Appointment and the Vessels for it, as well as the Priests' Garments in the Torah portions of T'rumah and T'tsavveh. You can click the links below to get to the webpages.
