Show Verse Quote Highlights
Context — The Frames and Bases
31He also made five crossbars of acacia wood for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,
32five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west.
33He made the central crossbar to run through the center of the frames, from one end to the other.
34And he overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. He also overlaid the crossbars with gold. 35Next, he made the veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it.Exodus 36:33 Summary
This verse talks about a special beam that went through the middle of the frames of the tabernacle, holding them together. It's like how Jesus is the center of our lives, holding everything together (Colossians 1:17). The tabernacle was a special place where God met with His people, and this beam helped keep it stable and strong, just like how God gives us strength and stability in our lives (Psalm 46:1). By looking at the details of the tabernacle's construction, we can learn about God's character and how He wants us to live.
