Day 113: Detailed Instructions for Building the Tabernacle - Bible Reading

In Day 113 of the Immerse Daily Bible Reading experience, detailed instructions are given for the construction of the tabernacle. The script outlines the specifications for making the tabernacle's curtains, including dimensions, materials, and decorations using blue, purple, and scarlet threads with skillfully embroidered cherubim. It describes how to join the curtains using loops and clasps to form a continuous piece. Additional instructions cover the making of a tent covering from goat hair cloth, the framework from acacia wood, and the tabernacle's various crossbars and overlays. The inside of the tabernacle is detailed with a special curtain separating the holy place from the most holy place, where the ark of the covenant is to be placed. Specifications for the courtyard, altar, and the ritual items are also provided, emphasizing the use of bronze and silver in the construction. The people of Israel are commanded to supply pure oil for the lampstand to keep lamps burning continually before the Lord, a statute to be observed from generation to generation.

QUICK START GUIDE
3 ways to get the most out of your experience

1. Use Immerse: Beginnings instead of your regular chapter and verse Bible. This special reader’s edition restores the Bible to its natural simplicity and beauty by removing chapter and verse numbers and other historical additions. Letters look like letters, songs look like songs, and the original literary structures are visible in each book.
2. Commit to making this a community experience. Immerse is designed for groups to encounter large portions of the Bible together
   for 8 weeks–more like a book club, less like a Bible study. By meeting every week in small groups and discussing what you read in open,
   honest conversations, you and your community can come together to be transformed through an authentic experience with the Scriptures.
3. Aim to understand the big story. Read through “The Stories and the Story” (p. 483) to see how the books of the Bible work together to tell God’s story of his creation’s restoration. As you read through Immerse: Beginnings, rather than ask, “How do I fit God into my busy life?” begin asking, “How can I join in God’s great plan by living out my part in his story?”
