This week’s Torah portion Terumah is the beginning of discourse between Yahweh and Moses concerning instructions for the building of the Tabernacle. Yahweh asks the people to give an offering for the construction of the mishkan or tabernacle. The offering that was collected was a heave offering the was separated and elevated for God’s divine purpose. The tabernacle of the OT is a foreshadowing of God’s intent to provide a place for Himself to dwell among men. What was lost in the Garden of Eden has to be restored, this is one of the first steps of restoration of the Presence of God, Emmanuel, God with us…which met its highest manifestation in Yeshua Himself.

According to Dake’s Annotated Reference Bible, the Hebrew word for pattern is tabnith, which means structure. The study note states that Moses did not have a plan but a literal model to go by!!!! What!?! (Dake’s, pg. 143)
