‘Now the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked from the Egyptians articles of silver, articles of gold and clothing. And the LORD had given the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.’ Ex.12:35&36
The firstborn of Israel were saved by the blood of the lamb and God said they belonged to Him Ex.13:2
‘Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people: for all the earth is mine.’ Exodus 19:5 ‘Then all the people answered together and said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do.”’ Exodus 19:8&9 ‘Moses was on the mountain 40 days and 40 nights.’ Exodus 24:18

1.God “walks” among His people. Gen.3:8 Lev.26:12;Deut.23:14 2.Adam/Levites were to “cultivate” and “keep” the garden/tabernacle. Gen.2:15 Nu.3:7-8 3.Term used for covering in Gen.3:21 is the same term used to describe covering of the
4.A “tree” in the midst of the garden and the tabernacle. Gen.2:9 Ex.25:32-36 5.Precious metals found in the garden are also found in the tabernacle. Gen.3:21 Ex.28:41; 29:8; 40:14; Lev.8:13; Nu.11:7 7.Cherubim guard the access to the Tree of Life in the garden and the Ark in the tabernacle. Gen.3:24 Ex.25:18-22; 26:31 6.The entrance to the garden and the tabernacle is from the East. Gen.3:24 Ex.27:13-16 The Tabernacle as a shadow of Eden
Parallels with Garden of Eden and the Tabernacle
The East Point of choice. Who will you
You can’t do both. Moses and Joshua told them to
The Tabernacle was facing East; therefore People must turn their backs on the East to Come and worship God. God promised to provide if they obeyed Him. False gods were usually worshipped Toward the East; the rising sun.
Cherubim
Parallels with Garden of Eden and the Tabernacle
Adam and Eve were driven out of the garden, and cherubim and a flaming sword were placed to guard the tree
God asked for cherubim to be woven Into the curtain before the Holy of
The Holy Spirit indicated the way was still closed. Heb.9:7&8
Foreign gods God Almighty
Worship toward the East (rising sun) Sacrifice out of fear, appeasement, wanting things, etc. Sacrifice is God’s requirement because of
substitutionary death. Gen.3:21. God sacrificed the first animal to clothe Adam &
the sinner dying and innocent life dies in their place. Even in the Hebrew language we see the connection. Korban (sacrifice) has the same 3 root Letters as Mehitkarev (to come close, approach). It was called a Kapara (temporary covering), it meant every time you sinned, there had to be another
personal relationship with living people. Worshipping demon gods
The Life is in the blood and it is poured out in atonement. No human is permitted to eat
Deut.15:22&23

“See the LORD has called by name Betzalel (In God’s shadow).. And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding, in knowledge and all manner of workmanship,... And He has put in his heart the ability to teach, in him and Aholiav (father’s tent)... He has filled them with skill to do all manner of work. Then Moses called Betzalel, Aholiav and every gifted artisan in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, everyone whose heart was stirred, to come and do the work.” Ex. 36:2
God calls us by name and gives us the talents we need for the work He has given us to do.

The Acacia tree; Very hard, twisted, thorny wood. Individual trees spread out in the desert, not in a forest. It was used as the basic structural element It was shaped for service. Like our lives; Very hard, twisted and thorny individuals wanting our own way; yet once we are available (forgiven and cleansed), God shapes us for service. God said, “take what is available”
Plain shaped wood Covered with copper Covered with gold According to the work of service
‘Make us gods that may go before us.’ Ex. 32:1 ‘And he (Aaron) received the gold from their hand and he fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made a moulded calf. Then they said “this is your gods, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!”’ Ex. 32:4 ‘Moses cast the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot
‘Then Moses stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on the LORD’S side - come to me!” And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves unto him.’ Ex. 32:26 Before worshipping the golden calf the people could build family altars; now the priests must act on their behalf. ‘God takes the Levites to serve Him (instead of all the first born of Israel)’ Num. 3:44-51: Num. 8:14-19 40 days = 6 weeks after making a covenant with the Living GOD
