Exodus 27 — Sketch

Not a Barbecue

Big Idea:

• God tells Israel to build a sacrificial altar. It is to be made of Acacia wood and covered in bronze with horns on each corner.

• God tells them to build a fence, creating a courtyard around the Tabernacle. It is to be made of linen and posts with silver hooks and bronze bases.

• The entrance to the courtyard is to open toward the east. It is to be made of a curtain of red, blue, and purple woven yarn.

• God tells Israel to provide special oil to keep the Tabernacle lamps burning.
  
  Jesus in This Chapter:

• The altar is where sacrifices were made. These sacrifices foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice for our sin — Jesus.

• The courtyard had only one entrance — on the east side. Likewise, there is only one way to enter into a right relationship with God — through Jesus.
