Exodus 26:1–6

About this episode
When modern Christians come to passages like this one in Exodus, their eyes have a tendency to glaze over. We see cubits and loops, curtains and clasps, and we think we have stumbled into the architectural footnotes of the Bible. We treat it like a divine instruction manual for assembling an ancient piece of IKEA furniture. What we have here is not a tedious list of specifications. We have God Almighty, the creator of nebulae and nautiluses, pulling back the curtain of heaven to show us the blueprint for His own house. This is not just a tent; it is a portable Mount Sinai, a miniature cosmos, a tangible gospel woven with threads of blue, purple, and scarlet. The pagan nations surrounding Israel had their own temples, their own houses for their non-gods. But those places were designed by men to appease angry, capricious deities.
