Building Specs

The Lampstand

And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same. And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side: Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick. And in the candlestick shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers. And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick. Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all of it shall be one beaten work of pure gold. And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it. And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall of of pure gold. Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels. And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount.-Exodus 25:31-40***Before the great flood covered the earth, Noah was living righteously before the Lord God and found grace in the eyes of the Lord God. The Lord God spoke to Noah of plans for destruction and gave Noah details for building an ark wherein Noah, his wife, their 3 sons, and each son's wife, and food, and a specific number of creatures were to be sheltered. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible do not reveal that Noah was shown a pattern of the ark beforehand. Aaron and his brother Moses were Israelites descended from Noah and his wife, their son Shem, Shem's son Arphaxad, Arphaxad's great-great-great-great-great-grandson Terah, Terah's children Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), their son Isaac and his wife Rebekah, Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son LeviOver 900 years after Noah and his family and the animals began living upon land again, 80-year-old Moses and 83-year old Aaron led the Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur, according to the commands of the Lord God. Months thereafter, in the desert wilderness of Sinai, Moses was upon Mount Sinai with the Lord God for 40 days and nights. The Lord God gave Moses commands and showed Moses the pattern for building the transportable tabernacle and making the ark of the covenant of the Lord and other sacred items, including the solid gold lampstand. During the 40th year of their journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Aaron died and was buried upon Mount Hor, and Moses went upon Mount Nebo. The Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. Over 300 years after Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, David, from the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah, became the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites. David was shown, by the hand of the Lord God upon him and by the Spirit of the Lord God, the exact pattern of the temple, the permanent structure that David wanted to build wherein to house the ark of the covenant of the Lord. Solomon, the 2nd son born to David and Bathsheba, was the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites. In Jerusalem, during the 4th year of Solomon's reign, Solomon began building the temple of the Lord. Over 900 years after the temple was built and the ark, and 10 lampstands and other sacred items were properly placed inside, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus 24:1-4, Numbers 8:1-4, 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1:1-11:43, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles 1:1-9:31, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, Hebrews 8:1-9:28
