“Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine woven linen and blue, purple, and scarlet thread; with artistic designs of cherubim you shall weave them." v.1
Read chapter 26
These beautiful, intricate curtains that were made for the inside of the tabernacle were hidden from the public, since only certain people entered the tabernacle. Not only was the curtain skillfully weaved of these beautiful colors that signified royal and were expensive but it was artistically designed with images of cherubim. Cherubim are a type of angel (most likely Satan was a fallen cherubim)- see Genesis 3, Ezekiel 1 for more. How exactly the Israelites knew what the cherubim looked like, I don't know, it could be what Moess saw to make as a pattern and dictated that to the men that made the curtain. How interesting that this beautiful artwork is hidden from the public eye, but for the Holy Place where God would dwell. God didn't need to make a public display of this to show off. Sometimes things kept hidden are the most precious. What in your life is most precious to ou that doesn't need to be on display or shown to the world to get its glory? How do you imagine/ draw the tabernacle based on the descriptions in this chapter?
