The Exodus Wilderness Tabernacle
_edited_edited_edited_edited.jpg)
Why is the Wilderness Tabernacle returning after 3000 years?
1. Why was Josephus Flavius wrong about the Tabernacle's courtyard being "50 cubits wide and 100 long?" Because he ignored the Exodus blueprints that measure a 314-cubit circumference circle with a 100-cubit diameter and a 50-cubit radius from Exodus 26:7-13.
2. What happens when we follow the first construction instructions from Exodus 26:1-6? The curtains seam together at their 4-cubit ends to form a decagon wall, and the Tabernacle becomes a six-story-high, yurt-like, dome-shaped tent.

Taking a word or phrase out of context is called "contextomy" or biblically "eisegesis." Eisegesis means interpreting a biblical text by reading your own ideas or biases into it, essentially ignoring the original context and intended meaning.
How do ye say, We [are] wise, And the law of Jehovah [is] with us? Surely, lo, falsely it hath wrought, The false pen of scribes.
Jeremiah 8:8
Moses' building instructions start in Exodus 26:1-6, which Exodus 26 & 27 must accommodate.

Exodus 26:1-6
1 `And thou dost make the tabernacle: ten curtains of twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet; [with] cherubs, work of a designer, thou dost make them;
-
10 blue, purple & red linen curtains with cherubim sewn on

-
10 tent curtains are 28 by 4 cubits
3 five of the curtains are joining one unto another, and five curtains are
joining one to another.
-
10 curtains are divided into two sets of 5 curtains to be coupled
4 `And thou hast made loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain, at the end in the joining; and so thou makest in the edge of the outermost curtain,
in the joining of the second.
-
Blue loops on the 4-cubit edge end outermost are seamed together with another curtain, NOT the selvedge edges
5 fifty loops thou dost make in the one curtain, and fifty loops thou dost make in the edge of the curtain which [is] in the joining of the second, causing the loops to take hold one unto another;
-
50 loops at each end בִּקְצֵ֣ה edge of each curtain join together with another curtain's 50 loops
6 and thou hast made fifty hooks of gold, and hast joined the curtains one to another by the hooks, and the tabernacle hath been one.
-
50 gold hooks finish joining all the curtains together to make the Tabernacle

Summed up in one sentence
The Tabernacle's curtains are seamed together by the 4-cubit "edge end outermost" (Ex. 26:4),
not the 28-cubit edges of the selvedge.
For 2600 years, we have believed that Solomon's Temple was designed in the Babylonian style of the Second Temple. The foundation of the Second Temple caused the Israelite elders to weep (Ezra 3:12), who had seen Solomon's Temple's true structure before to the Babylonian Exile.
Ezra 3:12
12 And many of the priests, and the Levites, and the heads of the fathers, the aged men who had seen the first house -- in this house being founded before their eyes -- are weeping with a loud voice, and many with a shout, in joy, lifting up the voice;
The Tabernacle's curtains are seamed together by the 4-cubit "edge end outermost" (Ex. 26:4),
not the 28-cubit edges of the selvedge.
The Tabernacle's curtains are seamed together by the 4-cubit "edge end outermost" (Ex. 26:4),
not the 28-cubit edges of the selvedge.
According to Exodus 26:4, the curtain's blue loops are located at the 4-cubit "edge end outermost." Each curtain has four edges: two 4-cubit cut "outermost end edges" and two 28-cubit uncut edges. In loom-weaving language, these two technical terms are called the "warp" and the "selvedge." The warp is the cut "edge end outermost," while the selvedge is the uncut edge.
What is the solution to correcting these errors?
-Build the Tabernacle in the order specified by God, using the Hebrew language.

In 1440 BC Moses was given the value of Pi on Mt. Sinai to build the Tabernacle but Josephus Flavious misread the Exodus blueprints in 94 AD, 1500 years after Moses. Fortunately, after two millennia, Exodus has been correctly translated.
A) Pi from Exodus 26.13
330 cubits long = Ex. 26:8 Eleven curtains each 30 cubits long
315 cubits long = Ex. 26:9 One curtain is folded in half to 15 cubits long
314 cubits long = Ex. 26:13 Curtain hang over/seams taken in 1 cubit long

B) Pi from Exodus 27:17-18

C) Pi from Exodus 38:13
c = 2 π r
In 1650 BC the Egyptians approximated the value of 3.1605 for π. God gave Moses 314 in 1440 BC from Exodus 26:13. Pi is woven together in the spiral of the double helix in your DNA. 2000 years ago, everyone accepted Josephus Flavius' inaccurate description into our religious dogma. They all derive from the same bad-data, Josephus the historian's history is NOT holy canon, friend.

the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering

Martin Luther misinterpreted the word תְּחָשִׁ֖ים into
"badgers," which refers to unclean, non-kosher animals
like pigs. Unclean animal skins would NOT be used to Pi radius squared
cover the Holy of Holies. When the Greeks took Jerusalem in 168 BC, they marched inside the Jewish temple and offered a pig as a sacrifice on the altar of incense.
The blueprints from Exodus 26:15-37 continue the construction instructions for the Wilderness Tabernacle.
Exodus 27:1- 19
27 `And thou hast made the altar of shittim wood, five cubits the length, and five cubits the breadth -- the altar is square -- and three cubits its height.
2 And thou hast made its horns on its four corners, its horns are of the same, and thou hast overlaid it [with] brass.
3 And thou hast made its pots to remove its ashes, and its shovels, and its bowls, and its forks, and its fire-pans, even all its vessels thou dost make of brass.
4 `And thou hast made for it a grate of net-work of brass, and hast made on the net four rings of brass on its four extremities,
5 and hast put it under the compass of the altar beneath, and the net hath been unto the middle of the altar.
6 `And thou hast made staves for the altar, staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them [with] brass.
7 And the staves have been brought into the rings, and the staves have been on the two sides of the altar in bearing it.
8 Hollow with boards thou dost make it, as it hath been shewed thee in the mount, so do they make [it].
9 `And thou hast made the court of the tabernacle: for the south side
southward, hangings for the court of twined linen, a hundred by the
cubit [is] the length for the one side,
10 and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets [are] of brass, the
pegs of the pillars and their fillets [are] of silver;
11 and so for the north side in length, hangings of a hundred [cubits]
in length, and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets [are] of brass,
the pegs of the pillars and their fillets [are] of silver.
12 `And [for] the breadth of the court at the west side [are] hangings of
fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.
13 And [for] the breadth of the court at the east side, eastward, [are]
fifty cubits.
14 And the hangings at the side [are] fifteen cubits, their
pillars three, and their sockets three.
15 And at the second side [are] hangings fifteen [cubits],
their pillars three, and their sockets three.
16 `And for the gate of the court a covering of twenty
cubits, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen,
work of an embroiderer; their pillars four, their sockets
four.
ALL versions of Josephus' Tabernacle misappropriate the curtains to make a roof.
A multilayered roof will mildew, and Lev. 14 says mildew is unclean. Josephus Flavius 37-100 AD
Curtain loops join together at uncut
edges, the "selvedge." Exodus 26:1-5
Exodus 26:4-6 The blue loops are joined together with the other
blue loops to make one curtain that makes one Tabernacle.
However, Josephus' blue loops are NOT connected with the other curtain's
blue loops. The blue loops are NOT to be joined together with the curtain's
red "selvedge."❌
end-to-end, outermost selvedge edge
warp
The Tabernacle's curtains are seamed together by the 4-cubit "edge end outermost" (Ex. 26:4),
not the 28-cubit edges of the selvedge.
Josephus' Historic Mistakes
In "Antiquities of the Jews," Volume 1, Book 3, Chapter 6, Josephus Flavius begins his construction instructions from Exodus 26:30, skipping over Exodus 26:1-29, and then moves on to Exodus 27:18, skipping over Exodus 26:31 and 27:1-17. Then he works his way backwards, describing nearly everything out of context. He misinterprets Exodus 27:17-18 by conflating Herod's Temple with the Wilderness Tabernacle, incorrectly calling it a "quadrangular figure." However, this rectangular courtyard violates Exodus 27:17-18, which states, "round about סָבִיב֙ a circle… `The length of the court [is] a hundred by the cubit, and the breadth fifty by fifty" Exodus 38:9-13 confirms this 50-cubit radius.

Noah's Ark, the Wilderness Tabernacle, the Tabernacle of David, Solomon's Temple, and the New Jerusalem are all
dome-shaped. Noah's Ark was much bigger and more stable than we believed. Please remember that with no 1-for-1 biblical Hebrew words for diameter and radius, length and width do double duty for them in the proper context.
Length = Diameter
Width = Radius
The Old Testament has different ways to describe a measured circle, as in 1 Kings 7:23, "round all about, compass it round about," and on Mt. Sinai, Moses was given the first approximation of Pi within .05% in history given by God to build the Wilderness Tabernacle in Exodus 26:7-13 as explained above.
