TNDL: "YESHUA,
THE SACRIFICIAL AND SPOTLESS LAMB OF GOD, MOST HIGH, REPLACED THE OLD TESTAMENT
RITUAL, SACRIFICAL LAMB, WHEN HE WAS CRUCIFIED AND DIED IN THE PLACE OF ISRAEL.
HE PREVENTED THE WHOLE NATION OF ISRAEL FROM BEING TOTALLY DESTROYED FOR THEIR
SINS! AND WHAT IS THE MERCY SEAT OF THE MOST HIGH GOD. AND WHAT IS THE PURPOSE
OF IT? LOOK AT EXODUS 26: 4." According to the Hebrew Bible, the kaporet
(Hebrew: הַכַּפֹּֽרֶת ha-kappōreṯ)
or mercy seat, was the gold lid placed on the Ark of the Covenant with two
cherubim beaten out of the ends, to cover and create the space into which
Yahweh was said to appear. This was connected with the rituals of the Day of
Atonement. What does the mercy seat in the Bible mean?
The purpose of the
Ark of the Covenant was to signify the presence of God with the Israelites.
What is the purpose
of the Ark of the Covenant?

Covenant was a religious artifact made by the Israelites a year after their
exodus from Egypt in 1400 BCE. Moses led the nation to Mount Saini where he and
his priest, Aaron went up the mountain. At some point, Moses went alone to the
top and met with God. After giving Moses the Ten Commandments, God gave
instructions to build the Ark of the Covenant What is the purpose of the Ark of
the Covenant?
New International
Version
The Tabernacle
26 “Make the
tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and
scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by a skilled worker. 2 All the
curtains are to be the same size—twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits
wide.[a] 3 Join five of the curtains together, and do the same with the other
five. 4 Make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one
set, and do the same with the end curtain in the other set. 5 Make fifty loops
on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops
opposite each other. 6 Then make fifty gold clasps and use them to fasten the
curtains together so that the tabernacle is a unit.
7 “Make curtains of
goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven altogether. 8 All eleven
curtains are to be the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.[b] 9
Join five of the curtains together into one set and the other six into another
set. Fold the sixth curtain double at the front of the tent. 10 Make fifty
loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of
the end curtain in the other set. 11 Then make fifty bronze clasps and put them
in the loops to fasten the tent together as a unit. 12 As for the additional
length of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over is to hang down
at the rear of the tabernacle. 13 The tent curtains will be a cubit[c] longer
on both sides; what is left will hang over the sides of the tabernacle so as to
cover it. 14 Make for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that
a covering of the other durable leather.[d]
15 “Make upright
frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. 16 Each frame is to be ten cubits
long and a cubit and a half wide,[e] 17 with two projections set parallel to
each other. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. 18 Make twenty
frames for the south side of the tabernacle 19 and make forty silver bases to
go under them—two bases for each frame, one under each projection. 20 For the
other side, the north side of the tabernacle, make twenty frames 21 and forty
silver bases—two under each frame. 22 Make six frames for the far end, that is,
the west end of the tabernacle, 23 and make two frames for the corners at the
far end. 24 At these two corners they must be double from the bottom all the
way to the top and fitted into a single ring; both shall be like that. 25 So
there will be eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.
26 “Also make
crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, 27
five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the
far end of the tabernacle. 28 The center crossbar is to extend from end to end
at the middle of the frames. 29 Overlay the frames with gold and make gold
rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.
30 “Set up the
tabernacle according to the plan shown you on the mountain.
31 “Make a curtain
of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim woven
into it by a skilled worker. 32 Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia
wood overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases. 33 Hang the curtain
from the clasps and place the ark of the covenant law behind the curtain. The
curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. 34 Put the
atonement cover on the ark of the covenant law in the Most Holy Place. 35 Place
the table outside the curtain on the north side of the tabernacle and put the
lampstand opposite it on the south side.
36 “For the
entrance to the tent make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely
twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer. 37 Make gold hooks for this curtain
and five posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold. And cast five bronze bases
for them.
