Day 43 - Read Exodus 25

An offering was to be used to establish a tabernacle. God gave Moses detailed instructions for building an Ark of acacia wood that would be carried with poles. Tablets of the Law which would be provided by God were placed in the Ark. Two cherubim of gold were placed on the Ark, one on each end facing each other. The place between the cherubim known as the Mercy Seat was where God would meet with them. God commanded Moses to build a table and place the bread of the Presence on it. This bread was replaced weekly and was then eaten by the priest. It represented God’s provisions for Israel. God commanded Moses to build a lampstand to light the space. Each piece was to be built specifically as God commanded.
