Exodus 27:9

Key Reflection

In Exodus 27:9, the instruction to make the court of the tabernacle "hollow with planks" means constructing a framework for the structure using wooden boards, reflecting meticulous craftsmanship as seen in ancient Near Eastern architecture. The phrase "as it has been shown you on the mountain" likely refers back to divine revelation given directly by God, implying that this design was revealed through a visionary experience or divine instruction received on Mount Sinai, ensuring that the tabernacle's construction adhered precisely to God’s specifications.
