The Israelites, under Moses' leadership, were instructed to build the Tabernacle as a dwelling place for God among them. The careful crafting of its components, including the poles made of acacia wood and overlaid with gold, highlights the importance of following God's instructions with precision and reverence. Acacia wood was a practical choice due to its strength and resistance to decay, symbolizing the enduring nature of God's covenant with His people. Gold, a precious metal, was used to overlay the wood, signifying the divine presence and the sacredness of the Tabernacle. This blend of materials illustrates the connection between the earthly and the heavenly, encouraging believers to create spaces in their lives that are dedicated to worship and reflection of God's glory. It serves as a reminder that while we live in a physical world, our lives should be adorned with spiritual values that honor God.
Then they made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
