Seven Articles Of Furniture In The Tabernacle
Seven Articles Of Furniture In The Tabernacle
Exodus 25:8-9 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
First, here is a list of the materials in the tabernacle and what each represents (gleaned from various sources through the years):
Gold - Deity, King
Silver - Redemption
Brass - Judgment
Blue - Heavenly Nature
Purple - Royalty
Scarlet - Sacrifice, Blood
Wood - Humanity of Christ
Fine Linen - Righteousness
Oil - Holy Spirit
Rams’ Skins - Atonement
Goats’ Hair - Atonement
Badgers’ Skins - Humanity or Outward Appearance of Christ
White - Perfection
Leaven - Sin
Honey - Man’s Glory or Man’s Wisdom
Water - Word of God
Salt - Purity
Scofield makes this comment: “Brass speaks of judgment - in the brazen altar, of God’s judgment, and in the laver, of self-judgment.”
The Tabernacle contains seven pieces of furniture (arranged in the shape of a cross):
1. The Brasen Altar (brass) - Exodus 27:1-8
2. The Laver (brass) - Exodus 30:18-21
3. The Table of Shewbread (gold) - Exodus 25:23-30
4. The Golden Candlestick (gold) - Exodus 25:31-39
5. The Altar of Incense (gold) - Exodus 30:1-8
6. The Ark of the Covenant (gold) - Exodus 25:10-16
7. The Mercy Seat (gold) - Exodus 25:17-22
