Bible Question:
Morning all, Over the weekend I was doing a small study of the wilderness Tabernacle from Exodus Ch. 25. As I was reading the description as given to Moses I noticed that the colors for the Tabernacle match the colors for the High Priest's garments, only reversed - the Tabernacle is white from the outer to the inner colors and the priest's are outer colors to the white inside (underneath). Is there any significance to this? Just wondering Cheri |
Bible Answer: The idea may well be because each symbolises the approach to God. In the case of the Tabernacle we commence with the linen, followed by the colours of the veil within the Holy Place, then the gold of the Ark of the Covenant (this is roughly speaking for the whole is much more complicated in reality as you will appreciate. There is for example gold in the Holy Place, and the veil includes linen). In the case of the High Priest he is approaching God first through the white of his inner garments, then through the colours of the outer garment, then through the gold on the breastpouch and tiara. From purity to divine royalty through the heavenly and the blood (?). In Him. |
