Phrase of Scripture   Correlating Passages TSK Help

the tabernacle with ten curtains   "The word mishcan, from shachan, to dwell, means simply a dwelling-place, or habitation. ""When God had brought the children of Israel out of Egypt,"" says the very learned Dr. Cudworth, ""resolving to manifest himself in a peculiar manner present among them, he thought good to dwell amongst them in a visible and external manner; and therefore, while they were in the wilderness, and sojourned in tents, he would have a tent or tabernacle built, to sojourn with them also.--Now, the tabernacle being thus a house for God to dwell in visibly, to make up the notion of dwelling or habitation complete, there must be all things suitable to a house belonging to it. Hence, in the holy place, there must be a table and a candlestick, because these were the ordinary furniture of a room. The table must have its dishes, and spoons, and bowls, and covers, belonging to it, though they were never used; and always be furnished with bread upon it. The candlestick must have its lamps continually burning, etc."" Exd 25:8; Exd 36:8-19; E"
fine twined linen   Exd 26:36; Exd 25:4; Exd 35:6,35; Rev 19:8
cherubims   Exd 25:18
cunning work   Heb. the work of a cunning workman, or embroiderer.
