The use of these colors in the tabernacle's construction signifies the majesty and holiness of God. Blue is often linked to the heavens and divine revelation, as seen in <a href="/numbers/15-38.htm">Numbers 15:38-39</a>, where Israelites are instructed to wear tassels with a blue cord to remember God's commandments. Purple, a color obtained from the murex snail, was rare and expensive, symbolizing wealth and nobility. Scarlet, a vibrant red, is frequently associated with sacrifice and atonement, pointing to the blood of Christ in the New Testament (<a href="/hebrews/9-14.htm">Hebrews 9:14</a>). These colors together in the tabernacle prefigure the majesty and sacrificial work of Jesus Christ, who fulfills the law and the prophets.<p><b>fine linen and goat hair;</b><br>Fine linen was a luxury fabric in ancient times, often used for priestly garments and sacred spaces, symbolizing purity and righteousness. In <a href="/revelation/19-8.htm">Revelation 19:8</a>, fine linen is described as the righteous acts of the saints, indicating its continued symbolic importance. The use of fine linen in the tabernacle underscores the purity required to approach God. Goat hair, on the other hand, was a more common material, used for making tents and everyday items. Its inclusion in the tabernacle's construction highlights the accessibility of God's presence to His people, as well as the need for atonement, as goats were often used in sacrificial offerings (<a href="/leviticus/16-15.htm">Leviticus 16:15</a>). Together, these materials reflect the dual nature of Christ's ministry: His divine purity and His humble incarnation, bridging the gap between God and humanity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who is conveying God's instructions for the construction of the Tabernacle.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God, recently freed from Egyptian bondage, who are called to contribute materials for the Tabernacle.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable sanctuary that God instructed the Israelites to build as a place of worship and His dwelling among them.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/w/wilderness_of_sinai.htm">Wilderness of Sinai</a></b><br>The location where the Israelites are camped and where they receive the instructions for the Tabernacle.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/a/artisans_and_skilled_workers.htm">Artisans and Skilled Workers</a></b><br>Individuals among the Israelites who are endowed with skills and wisdom to craft the materials into the Tabernacle.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/w/willingness_to_contribute.htm">Willingness to Contribute</a></b><br>God desires offerings that come from a willing heart.
