Burnt Offering Altar Sacrifices Fire never went out Fire for altar of incense

The Bronze Altar The measurements of the bronze altar: 7.5 ft long 7.5 ft wide 4.5 ft high

The Bronze Altar The bronze altar was made of (acacia) wood. The altar was square and covered with bronze (brass). The four corners of the altar had horns overlaid with bronze.

The Bronze Altar Several kinds of offerings were made on the bronze altar: Burnt offering (bull, sheep, goats without blemish, or birds) (Leviticus 1:1-17) Grain offering (Leviticus 2:1-16) Peace offering (goat or lamb) (Lev. 3:1-17) Sin offering (bull, goat, or lamb) (Lev. 4:1-35) Trespass offering (female of the flock, lamb, goat kid, bird or grain) (Lev. 5 & 6)

The Bronze Altar The Sacrifice was necessary for forgiveness. The blood of the animal was important to justify the people before God. A proper sacrifice was an animal that was valuable and perfect, not flawed. Sin was serious. Only shed blood which stands for life, could pay for sin. By laying his hand on it, the person identified with the animal sacrificed.

The Bronze Altar When John the Baptist saw Jesus approaching he informed the people that Jesus is the “Lamb of God” who will take away the sin of the world. (John 1:29)

Laver Polish Brass Cleansing Reflective

The Bronze Laver The bronze laver was used for ceremonial washing: Priests bathed their entire body when they were ordained. (Exodus 29:4) Following ordination, the priests had to wash their hands and feet every time they entered the Tabernacle or approached the bronze altar to minister, or they would die. (Exodus 30:19-21)

Eph 5:25-26: “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,” NKJV Aaron had to be washed in order fitly to represent the purity of the antitype, Jesus, who knew no sin. Before the Priest could enter the Holy, he had to wash at the Laver Made of highly polished copper.(Ex 38:8) Priest saw reflection = By looking into God’s Word = We see the sin that needs to be washed away, And we clean up our act just prior to the decision of consecration, going under the veil into the Holy.

The actual tent that God would dwell in, was separated into two compartments, the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. In the Most Holy Place was the Ark & the Mercy Seat. The Glory cloud which represented the very presence of God hovered over the Mercy Seat and remained there whenever the Tabernacle stood still. What a comfort it was for His people to know God was so near. As He protected His people from the heat of the sun by day and provided a fire by night to assure them He was there.

“The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us. ” Notice the word “dwelt” “The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us...” Notice the word “dwelt”. The word in the original Greek, skenoo, meaning to dwell, is connected to the idea of living in a tent. The word tent in Greek is skenos, and we are told that St. Paul was a tentmaker by trade, a skenopoios. Some, therefore, have translated the passage, “...and tabernacled (or tented) among us.” Now, in that a tent or tabernacle is a temporary dwelling, the word is used in our passage to denote the temporariness of Christ’s earthly stay. But it is doing more. John is, by the Holy Spirit, drawing a connection between Christ and the Tabernacle of the OT.
