Ha Mishkan: The Tabernacle. This is where God dwells, and loves it, as in Psalm 26:8. In the beginning of Parasha Terumah (Exodus 25:1-7), God tells Moshe (Moses) to collect donations from all Israel for the building materials of the Tabernacle. He mentions the specific materials that they should bring such as gold, silver, copper, turquoise, & wool. Why must they bring specific materials?

God give His design for the tabernacle, the Holy Place, and the Holy of Holies. Every detail is laid out. Every piece has a specific purpose and function. Did you know that God also has a detailed plan, purpose, and function for your life?
