summary and Study">Chapter </a></tr></table></div><b>For the entrance to the tent</b><br>The entrance to the tent refers to the entrance of the Tabernacle, the portable sanctuary used by the Israelites during their wilderness journey. This entrance was significant as it was the primary access point to the holy place, symbolizing the way to approach God. The Tabernacle itself was a precursor to the Temple in Jerusalem and represented God's dwelling among His people. The design and structure of the Tabernacle, including its entrance, were given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai, emphasizing the importance of divine instruction in worship.<p><b>he made a curtain</b><br>The curtain served as a barrier between the outside world and the sacred space within the Tabernacle. It was a physical representation of the separation between God and humanity due to sin, yet it also provided a way for the Israelites to approach God through the prescribed means. This curtain can be seen as a type of Christ, who later becomes the ultimate mediator between God and man, as described in the New Testament (<a href="/hebrews/10-19.htm">Hebrews 10:19-20</a>).<p><b>embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn</b><br>The use of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn in the embroidery of the curtain is rich with symbolism. Blue often represents heaven or divinity, purple signifies royalty and kingship, and scarlet symbolizes sacrifice and atonement. These colors together point to the nature and work of Jesus Christ, who is divine, the King of Kings, and the ultimate sacrifice for sin. The use of these colors in the Tabernacle's design underscores the foreshadowing of Christ's redemptive work.<p><b>and finely spun linen</b><br>Finely spun linen was a sign of purity and righteousness. Linen was a costly and high-quality material, indicating the value and holiness of the Tabernacle. In biblical symbolism, linen is often associated with the righteousness of the saints (<a href="/revelation/19-8.htm">Revelation 19:8</a>). The use of such material for the curtain highlights the purity required to enter God's presence, which is ultimately fulfilled in Christ, who clothes believers in His righteousness.<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 received the instructions for the construction of the Tabernacle from God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/b/bezalel_and_oholiab.htm">Bezalel and Oholiab</a></b><br>Skilled craftsmen appointed by God to oversee the construction of the Tabernacle and its furnishings.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>A portable sanctuary where God dwelled among the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_curtain.htm">The Curtain</a></b><br>A significant element of the Tabernacle, symbolizing separation and holiness, made with specific colors and materials.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God, who contributed materials and labor for the construction of the Tabernacle.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_colors_and_materials.htm">Symbolism of Colors and Materials</a></b><br>The blue, purple, and scarlet yarns, along with the finely spun linen, symbolize royalty, divinity, and sacrifice.
