Tenons are projections on the end of a piece of wood that fit into a corresponding mortise, creating a strong joint. This method of construction ensured stability and durability, which was essential for a structure that needed to be both portable and sturdy. Theologically, the connection of the tenons can symbolize unity and strength within the body of believers, as each part must be joined together to form a cohesive whole. This concept is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are described as being "joined and held together" (<a href="/ephesians/4-16.htm">Ephesians 4:16</a>).<p><b>Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.</b><br>The instruction to make all the frames in the same manner emphasizes uniformity and order in the construction of the tabernacle. This reflects God's nature as a God of order and precision. The tabernacle itself is a type of Christ, as it was the dwelling place of God's presence among His people. Just as the tabernacle was constructed according to a divine pattern, so too was Christ's life and ministry a fulfillment of God's perfect plan. The tabernacle's design, with its specific instructions, points to the meticulous fulfillment of prophecy in the life of Jesus, who is described as the true "tabernacle" (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>, <a href="/hebrews/9-11.htm">Hebrews 9:11</a>).<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 tabernacle from God on Mount Sinai.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable sanctuary that the Israelites used during their journey in the wilderness, serving as a place of worship and the dwelling place of God among His people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who were delivered from slavery in Egypt and were on their journey to the Promised Land.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/m/mount_sinai.htm">Mount Sinai</a></b><br>The mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments and the detailed instructions for the construction of the tabernacle.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/tenons.htm">Tenons</a></b><br>Wooden pegs or projections used to join the frames of the tabernacle, ensuring stability and unity in its structure.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/unity_and_connection.htm">Unity and Connection</a></b><br>The two tenons symbolize the importance of unity and connection among God's people.
