This weeksparasha is Pekudey, or accounts and recounts all the
furnishing of the Mishkan, their significance and why YHVH emphasizes
the Tabernacle. The Tabernacle is discussed, including its offerings and
service in a total of 50 chapters of His Word. There are 13 chapters in
Exodus, 18 in Leviticus, 13 in Numbers, 2 in Deuteronomy, and 4 chapters
of the book of Hebrews. If I may share from Ruth Lascelles book
A Dwelling Place for God she writes,
For the Sanctuary was prepared by the hands of God
Himself (Ex.15:17) and was not only a revelation from Him, but
also a revelation of Him. Here it is we meet with God face to faceand learn to know Him, for in this Tabernacle story He is
pictured in His fullness (p.1).
Hosea 12:10 says I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied
visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets. More than
any other device the Father uses the Tabernacle as The definitive picture of
our relationship with Him, so its important that we stop, and dwell upon
the things that YHVH has deemed important according to His Word.We begin the final portion in Exodus with Pekudey. Which means to
be numbered, counted for, a record. Didnt we recently study the
significance of what it means to be counted, to be numbered? In our study
of Ki-Tisa, or When You Lift, we studied how the headcount of those who
mustered in Service of defense of Israel were to properly be numbered
right? And we discussed a very significant issue about a wrong way and
right way to be numbered in the Kingdom of YHVH. Because what was the
purpose or outcome of numbering according to Gods way?

To be of service to The Tabernacle (the offering of the silver half-shekel)
To be atoned for, to have YHVHs covering of protection as Israelpressed into Canaan and warred against pagan nations to remove
them from the land YHVH swore to them.
To guard against their own destruction, and the outbreak of anyplague.
So here in this weeks parasha, the same issue comes to the forefront.
Were examining all of the furnishings of the Tabernacle and all of themincluding the raw materials that were brought by the children of Israel to
craft all of its furnishings were numbered as well. Why? Etz Hayyims
commentary puts it this way,
Moses gives a detailed accounting of the expenditures for
fashioning the tabernacle and its furnishings. Some Israelites
knew that they would have taken advantage of handling all that
gold and silver for their own enrichment. They suspected Mosesof being no better than they were. Thus the Midrash emphasizes
that leaders of the community must be above any suspicion of
personal aggrandizement. The family that prepared the incense
for the Temple services would never let their relatives wear
perfume, lest some people suspect them of using Temple incense
for their personal benefit. The official who supervised the shekel
offering would wear a special garment with no pockets and no
long sleeves when he did so, so that no one could suspect him of
pocketing public funds. A person should strive o please people as
strenuously as one strives to please God. (footnote, p.564).

So as we enter into the study of the Record, orNumbering of the
Mishkans raw materials and furnishings, we do so with the forethought
that its pointing us to a similitudeof something greater than merely taking
an inventorylets continue.The word to the right there is the name of our
Final parasha in the book of
Exodus, or Shemot. What is
the meaning of Shemot?
Names, Reputationyes, but
most importantly it has to do
with the character of a person. In
this case, whose character are we discovering in the Record of theMishkan?
Pekudey comes from Strongs#H6485 paqad, pronouncedpaw-kad' and it means:A primitive root; to visit(with friendly
or hostile intent); by analogy to oversee, muster, charge, carefor, miss, deposit,
etc.: - appoint, X at all, avenge,
bestow, (appoint to have the, give
a) charge, commit, count, deliver to
keep, be empty, enjoin, go see, hurt, do
judgment, lack, lay up look, make X by any means, miss, number, officer, (make)
overseer have (the) oversight, punish, reckon, (call to) remember (-brance), set
(over), sum, X surely, visit, want.

In the Paleo its root word looks like this, and as we study the letters
one at a time we begin to get a clearer picture of what it truly means to
oversee, and to number. The Pey shaped like a mouth means to blow,
scatter, enter, command, or open. The Kuf shaped like a sun setting at the
horizon means to be behind, last, rise, east, cycle, time, distinguish,
condense, and gather. The Dalet, akin to an upside down hat means to
move, hang, enter, open, path and way. If we remember what weve learned
about Hebrew words, specifically 3-letter root words is they are typically
like a house; comprised of a base 2-letter root word, these 2 letters
represent the sides of the home, and then inside they house the middle
word in the interior. and together they oftentimes reveal a much deepermeaning than its pashat meaning. In this case the 2 letter root word is
Pahd, consisting of the Pey and the Dalet. Placed together it means
Redeem, and the Kuf in the central part of the word, or the interior letter
housed in this word among many other definitions means toRise.
So when we look at the deeper meaning of the word for a Record, and what
it means to Number we learn that
.
This is significant because again were learning that in this specific
situation YHVH has provided the means to keep His people above
reproach, and a way to receive His protection, His blessing by obtaining
records, or taking an inventory the way YHVH has prescribed.

In fact, when we examine the pictographic meaning behind the
opening statement of the portion reveals a remarkable truth of our
Messiah. Lets look:
These are the records of the Tabernacle (Exo 38:21 TNK), so the
Scripture begins; and from a eye-level observation it tells us, okay, were
getting ready to read a list of all the materials that were used to constructthe Mishkan. But Hebraically? Pictographically? Oh boy, something so
much more central to Messiah is truly being revealed! Look back at the
Hebrew of verse 21 again and follow along with me.
Reading from Right to Left lets examine these few letters.
-Alef, meaning first, strength, Yoke

-Lamed, means Shepherds Staff, Shepherds Authority, TheShepherd.
-Heh, means to behold, sigh or toReveal.
So the first word of the portion is recognized as These are, but
pictographically it prepares us by informing us that The Yoke of The
Shepherd is Revealed. What does it reveal? We have to continue to find
out.
The next word is the title of our Torah portion, peh, or fehkudey. Weve
already taken an indepth look at the root of this word, but if we continue to
examine just the text pictographically it compares this way. Taken from theThe Wisdom in the Hebrew Alphabet by Rabbi Munk, a Peh refers to the
mouth, and from the mouth YHVH breathed His breath, or spirit into man
giving man a measure of His Spirit. The Kuf is symbolic of the Holiness of
YHVH and also that of man because YHVH has called man to be Kadosh
(holy) because HE is Kadosh.
The Vav, or Waw does mean to add, secure, pierce or join, but it also
refers to physical completion. Vav also represents the number 6, or the
sixth day of creation upon which physical creation was completed on thesixth day. The 2-letter root word of the Dalet-Yod or Dah means All-
sufficient. HaMishkan, or The Dwelling is the place patterned after the
heavenly original one YHVH instructed Moses to task Israel to construct so
that He could dwell among His people. So, if examined pictographically
we realize YHVH was confirming His plan all along in that

So, Let us begin to examine the materials, furnishings and utensils used in
the construction and day to day operations of the Tabernacle service to
HaShem:
23And with him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of
Dan, an engraver and a skillful workman and a weaver in blue and
in purple and in scarlet material, and fine linen. (Exo38:23NAS)
Blue= (tekeleth) (1067b) When studying these colorswe ascribe the Heavenly places where Gods abode is. In the Paleo the word
reads as if2) ( TK-LT)- Blue: [Unknown connection toroot] [freq. 50] |kjv: blue| {str: 8504} Sealed by the marks in the hands
of the Shepherd. Where is Yeshua now? Seated at the right hand of The
Father. Blue reminds us of Heaven, of YHVH, and His Son seated at His
right Hand.
urple= ((argaman) (71a Meaning:purple, red-purple. In the Paleo, H713 Strongs #713: AHLB#: 1440-C (pm)
1440) ( RG)ac:Trample co:Rug ab:Thought: The pictographis a picture of the head of a man, the is a picture of a foot.Combined these mean "man of feet". The treading underfoot of
something. A woven rug as something tread upon. (eng: rug - as woven
and trampled on; harangue; wrong) pmm
) ( AR-G-MN)- Purple: A reddish-purple color used to dye yarn and used in
weaving. [freq. 38] |kjv: purple| {str: 713}Purple is identified as the colorin Scripture as the perfect mixture of both the Blue, of Heaven, and Red, of
Earth, giving further reference to Yeshua who came down from Heaven, to
earth to redeem usCompletely God, and Completely Man, thus the
reference to the resh, or head, topand to the feet which are located at the

bottom of the body that typically touch the earth. Not incidentally, look
back at the word in the Paleo for Purple: Alef-Resh-Gimel-Mem-Nun, or
God/Yoke, Head/man, Feet/Carry, Water, LifeGods Yoke is for man to
carry the Living Water! When we receive Yeshua are we not completed? Do
we not then become the perfect mixture of Heaven and Earth?
Scarlet= Scarlet, or Red is the color of the earth, or Adamah, fromwhich man or Adam was taken and was said to be Red as in the color ofblood. ((shani) (1040c Meaning: scarlet. In the Paleo welearn H8438 Strongs #8438: AHLB#: 1269-L (i) 1269) (LAh)ac:Swallow co:Throat ab:?im
) ( TW-LAh)- I.Crimson: The color of the throat. II.Worm: A crimson colored worm. The understanding is that man, is incomparison to our creator, like a the lowly worm, who is sustained uponeating the earth.
Job 25:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, Dominion andfear arewith him, he maketh peace in his high places. Is there anynumber of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise? How
then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that isborn of a woman? Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea,the stars are not pure in his sight. How much less man, that is aworm? and the son of man which is a worm? (Job 25:1-6)
Fine Linen= (shesh) (1058c) Meaning: byssusOrigin: of for. or. Usage: fine linen(37), finely linen(1). In Rabbi Munks
Wisdom in the Hebrew Alphabet the Shin stands high among the sacredletters because it represents two names of God. Shaddai, the All-Sufficient,
Unlimited One, and Shalom, or Peace.So what we see in Lascelles book A Dwelling place for GOD, that The
High Priest, as well as his sons had to wear white linen garments close tohis body. These were to be holy garments. Linen represents righteousnessand therefore can be called holy.
