The number five is significant in biblical numerology, often symbolizing God's grace. The tabernacle itself is a symbol of God's presence among His people, and the precise instructions for its construction reflect the order and holiness required to approach God. The "other side" indicates the symmetry and balance in the design, emphasizing the completeness and perfection of God's dwelling place.<p><b>and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle</b><br>The rear side of the tabernacle, also known as the west side, was an important part of the structure. The repetition of the number five here reinforces the idea of grace and divine order. The rear side was opposite the entrance, which faced east, a direction often associated with God's glory and presence (as seen in <a href="/ezekiel/43-2.htm">Ezekiel 43:2</a>). The careful construction of the rear side ensured the tabernacle's stability and integrity, symbolizing the steadfastness of God's covenant with Israel.<p><b>to the west</b><br>The westward orientation of the tabernacle's rear side is significant in biblical symbolism. In ancient Near Eastern culture, the west was often associated with the end of the day and rest, which can be seen as a metaphor for the ultimate rest found in God's presence. The tabernacle's orientation, with its entrance facing east and the rear to the west, may also symbolize the journey from darkness to light, from sin to redemption, reflecting the spiritual journey of the Israelites and, by extension, all believers. This orientation can also be seen as a type of Christ, who is the way to the Father, leading believers from the darkness of sin into the light of God's presence.<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 that served as the dwelling place of God among the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God, who were tasked with contributing materials and labor for the construction of the Tabernacle.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/w/wilderness.htm">Wilderness</a></b><br>The setting where the Israelites wandered for 40 years and where the Tabernacle was constructed and used.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_attention_to_detail.htm">God's Attention to Detail</a></b><br>The specific instructions for the Tabernacle, including the bars and frames, highlight God's attention to detail and order.
