The details of the tabernacle begins from this section to the next two readings.

An interesting detail that I had not noticed before was that the poles for the ark (Ch 25) are not to be removed...

I wondered, "why not???"

...I still don't know why...



Then the prospect of reading about the details like the boards and sockets felt completely dry, so I searched for pictures of what I was reading.

In the course of the search, I found the tabernacle model kit.

You can build your own tabernacle, as specified by Yahweh (but smaller).

I imagine this would be a good thing to build while reading along these passages.
