-
- The word tabernacle is used in many different senses, and
- signifies,
- I. A tent or pavilion,
- # Nu 24:5 Mt 17:4
-
- II. A house or dwelling,
- # Job 11:4 22:23
-
- III. A kind of tent, which is designated, to speak after
- the manner of the men, the palace of the Most High, the
- dwelling of the God of Israel,
- # 26:1 Heb 9:2,3
-
- IV. Christ's human nature, of which the Jewish tabernacle
- was a type, wherein God dwells really, substantially, and
- personally,
- # Heb 8:2 9:11
-
- V. The true church militant,
- # Ps 15:1
-
- VI. Our natural body, in which the soul lodges as in a
- tabernacle,
- # 2Co 5:1 2Pe 1:13
-
- VII. The token of God's gracious presence,

- * Bezaleel.
- # 31:1-5 35:30-35 36:1-3
- The supernatural qualifications of Bezaleel and Aholiab
- proved their divine appointment; yet they had an express
- nomination to their work: they were also miraculously
- qualified to instruct their assistants, as well as to
- superintend them. Christ alone builds the Temple of the
- Lord, and bears the glory; but ministers and private
- Christians, under his direction and by his grace, may be
- fellow-workers together with him. They who, in mean
- employments, are diligent and humbly contented, are equally
- acceptable with those who are engaged in more splendid
- services. The women who spun the goats' hair were
- wise-hearted, as well as the persons who presided over the
- work of the tabernacle, or as Aaron, who burnt incense there,
- because they did it heartily unto the Lord. Our wisdom and
- duty consist in giving God the glory and use of our talents,
- be they more or less; neither abusing nor burying them, but
- occupying with them until our Lord shall come; being
- satisfied that it is better to be a door-keeper in his
- service, than the most mighty and renowned of the
- ungodly.--Scott.

- * All the gold.
- If we follow the estimation of the learned Dean Prideaux, the
- value of the twenty-nine talents, and 730 shekels of gold,
- will be 198,347£. 12s. 6d. The value of the silver
- contributed by 603,550 Israelites, at half a shekel, or 1s.
- 6d. per man, will amount to 45,266£. 5s. The value of the 70
- talents, 2,400 shekels of brass, will be 513£. 17s. The gold
- weighed 4,245 pounds; the silver, 14,603 pounds; and the
- brass, 10,277 pounds, troy weight. The total value of all
- the gold, silver, and brass, will consequently amount to
- 244,127£. 14s. 6d.; and the total weight of these three
- metals will amount to 29,124 pounds troy, which reduced to
- avoirdupois weight, is equal to fourteen tons, 226
- pounds!--It may, perhaps, seem difficult to imagine how the
- Israelites should be possessed of so much wealth in the
- desert; but it should be remembered, that their ancestors
- were opulent men before they came into Egypt; that they were
- further enriched by the spoils of the Egyptians and
- Amalekites; and that it is probable, they traded with the
- neighbouring nations who bordered on the wilderness. There
- appear to be three reasons why so much riches should have
- been employed in the construction of the tabernacle, etc. 1.
- To impress the people's minds with the glory and dignity of
- the Divine Majesty, and the importance of his service. 2.
- To take out of their hands the occasion of covetousness. 3.
- To prevent pride and vain glory, by leading them to give up
- to the divine service even the ornaments of their persons.

- * onyx stones.
- The meaning of the word {shoham} is not easily determined. It
- has been variously rendered a beryl, emerald, prasius,
- sapphire, sardius, ruby, carnelian, onyx, and sardonyx. It
- may signify both the onyx and sardonyx. The latter stone is a
- mixture of the chalcedony and carnelian, sometimes in strata,
- and at other times blended together, and is found striped with
- white and red strata, or layers. It is generally allowed that
- there is no real difference, except in hardness, between the
- carnelian, chalcedony, agate, sardonyx, and onyx. The onyx is
- of a darkish horny colour, resembling the nail or hoof, from
- which circumstance it has its name [(onyx).] It has often a
- plate of a blueish white or red in it, and when on one or both
- sides of this white there appears a plate of a reddish colour,
- the jewellers call the stone a sardonyx.

- * a diamond.
- # 28:18 Eze 28:13
- The word {yahalom} may mean the diamond, from {halam,} to
- beat, smite, because of its extreme hardness, by which it
- will beat to pieces the other stones. It is a fine pellucid
- substance never debased with any admixture of other matter;
- susceptible of elegant tinges from metal-line particles;
- giving fire with steel; not fermenting with acid menstrua;
- scarcely calcinable by any degree of fire; and of one simple
- and permanent appearance in all lights. It is the hardest
- and most valuable of all gems; when pure, perfectly clear and
- pellucid as the clearest water, and eminently distinguished
- from all other substances by its vivid splendour, and the
- brightness of its reflections.
- 10634
- * a ligure.
- {Leshem,} the ligure, the same as the jacinth, or hyacinth, a
- precious stone of a deep red, with a considerable tinge of
- yellow. Theophrastus and Pliny say it resembles the
- carbuncle, of a brightness sparkling like fire.
-
- * an agate.
- {Shevo,} the agate, a semi-pellucid compound gem, formed of
- different simple minerals, as chalcedony, cornelian, jasper.
- horn-stone, quartz, amethyst, opal, etc.; joined irregularly
- or in layers. It is of a white, reddish, yellowish, or
- greenish ground; and so variously figured in its substance as
- to represent plants, trees, animals, and other objects.
-
- * an amethyst.
- {Achlamah,} an amethyst, a transparent gem, composed of a
- strong blue and deep red; and according as either prevails,
- affording different tinges of purple, sometimes approaching
- to violet, and sometimes even fading to a pale rose colour.
- 10635
- * a beryl.
- Tarshish, a pellucid gem, of a sea or blueish green colour.
- * a jasper.
- {Yaspeh,} the jasper, a hard stone, of which there are not
- less than fifteen varieties of colour, as green, red, yellow,
- brown, black, etc.
