Rams were often used in sacrificial offerings (<a href="/genesis/22-13.htm">Genesis 22:13</a>, <a href="/leviticus/8-22.htm">Leviticus 8:22</a>), symbolizing substitutionary atonement, a theme that foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The red dye could represent the blood of atonement, pointing to the blood of Christ shed for the remission of sins (<a href="/hebrews/9-22.htm">Hebrews 9:22</a>). The fine leather, sometimes translated as "sea cow hides" or "badger skins," provided a durable and protective covering for the Tabernacle, indicating the need for protection and sanctity in the presence of God. This duality of sacrifice and protection reflects the dual nature of Christ as both the sacrificial Lamb and the protective Shepherd (<a href="/john/10-11.htm">John 10:11</a>).<p><b>acacia wood;</b><br>Acacia wood, known for its durability and resistance to decay, was used extensively in the construction of the Tabernacle and its furnishings (<a href="/exodus/25-10.htm">Exodus 25:10, 26</a>:15). This wood symbolizes incorruptibility and purity, qualities attributed to Jesus Christ, who is described as sinless and eternal (<a href="/hebrews/7-26.htm">Hebrews 7:26</a>). The use of acacia wood in the Tabernacle's structure points to the enduring nature of God's covenant with His people and the eternal nature of Christ's priesthood. Geographically, acacia trees were abundant in the Sinai region, making them a practical choice for the Israelites during their wilderness journey. The wood's resilience and beauty serve as a reminder of the strength and beauty of God's presence among His people.<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 commanded the Israelites to build, serving as a place of worship and God's dwelling among His people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/r/ram_skins_dyed_red.htm">Ram Skins Dyed Red</a></b><br>A specific material required for the Tabernacle, symbolizing sacrifice and atonement.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/a/acacia_wood.htm">Acacia Wood</a></b><br>A durable and resistant wood used in the construction of the Tabernacle, symbolizing strength and endurance.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/o/obedience_to_god's_instructions.htm">Obedience to God's Instructions</a></b><br>The detailed requirements for the Tabernacle remind us of the importance of following God's commands precisely.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_materials.htm">Symbolism of Materials</a></b><br>Each material used in the Tabernacle has symbolic meaning, pointing to deeper spiritual truths and foreshadowing Christ's work.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_contribution.htm">Community Contribution</a></b><br>The Israelites' collective effort in providing materials teaches the value of community involvement in God's work.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_presence.htm">God's Presence</a></b><br>The construction of the Tabernacle emphasizes God's desire to dwell among His people, a truth that continues through the Holy Spirit today.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/sacrificial_living.htm">Sacrificial Living</a></b><br>The use of ram skins dyed red can remind us of the call to live sacrificially, following Christ's example.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_exodus_35.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Exodus 35</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/where_did_israelites_get_their_gold.htm">(Exodus 35) From a historical or archeological standpoint, where did the wandering Israelites obtain such large quantities of gold, silver, and other precious materials?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/exodus_26_14_-_proof_of_ram_sea_cow_skins.htm">Exodus 26:14 -
