Scripture Focus

10And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded;

11The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,

12The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering,

13The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread,

14The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light,

15And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle,

16The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,

17The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,

18The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,

19The cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.

Exodus 35:10-19

Biblical Context

Exodus 35:10-19 calls the wise-hearted to contribute to building the tabernacle and its sacred furnishings according to God's command; it outlines many pieces and garments that symbolize devotion, order, and covenant loyalty.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the command is given to the wise-hearted to build all that the LORD hath commanded. In Neville’s sense, the tabernacle is the inner sanctuary of your own consciousness, a state you can actively assemble. The ark stands for the truth you carry within; the mercy seat and the veil symbolize grace perceived and the boundaries of attention. The table of showbread nourishes your mind; the candlestick and its oil provide light when awareness is steady; the incense altar is the rising fragrance of devoted feeling; the altar of burnt offering, the laver, and the holy garments are your acts, cleansing, and ministry. When you assume that these things already exist in you, you do not worship an outside shrine but align with the inner law. Covenant loyalty means remaining in tune with the I AM, choosing to serve this inner order rather than the shifting world. The outer details describe an inner discipline: order, purity, service, devotion. You are the builder, the priest, and the sanctuary. So imagine and feel it real, and the inner tabernacle awakens to reflect your conscious state.
