The Exodus Wilderness Tabernacle

The Tabernacle of David

The Wilderness Tabernacle is back after 3000 years.

1. Why was Josephus Flavius wrong about the Tabernacle's courtyard being "50 cubits wide & 100 long"? Because he ignored Moses' blueprints that measure a 314-cubit (Pi π) circumference circle with a 50-cubit radius & a 100-cubit diameter from Exodus 26:7-13.

2. When we follow the 1st construction instructions from Exodus 26:1-6, the curtains are joined together as one by their 4-cubit ends מִקָּצָ֖ה outermost הַקִּ֣יצוֹנָ֔ה and the Tabernacle becomes a six-story-high, yurt-like tent.

The Tabernacle's curtains are joined together as one by their 4-cubit "edge, end, outermost" (Ex. 26:4),

not their 28-cubit edges.

Each curtain has four edges:

1. Two edges with blue loops are at the 4-cubit cut "edge, end, outermost" (Exodus 26:4).

2. Two edges are the 28-cubit uncut edges.

In loom-weaving language the warp is at the 4-cubit cut "edge, end, outermost," while the selvedge is at the 28-cubit uncut edge.

On Mt. Sinai in 1440 BC, Moses was given the first approximation of Pi within .05% in history!

Exodus 26:7-13

A) Pi from Exodus 26:7-13

330 cubits long = Ex. 26:8 Eleven curtains each 30 cubits long by 4 cubits

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 taken in 1 cubit long

330 - 15 - 1 = 314-cubit circumference circle

&

B) Pi from Exodus 27:18

3.14 = 314 circumference/50-cubit radius, "50 in 50," c = 2 π r

&

C) Pi from Exodus 38:13

c = 2 π r

Pi is woven together in the spiral of the double helix in your DNA. 2,000 years ago, everyone accepted Josephus Flavius' wrong Tabernacle description into our religious dogma. They all come from the same bad data; Josephus the historian's history is not holy canon, friend.

Exodus 26:14

"and thou hast made a covering for the tent, of rams' skins

made red, and a covering of ❌badgers'❌ skins above."

Martin Luther wrongly interpreted the word תְּחָשִׁ֖ים

into "badgers," which are unclean, non-kosher animals

like pigs.

LUTHER's translation was based on the notion that the

German word "Dachs" (badger) was phonetically and/or

morphologically related to the Hebrew word "tachash.

LUTHER WAS WRONG.
The Holy of Holies would NOT be covered by unclean animal skins. In 168 BC the Greeks captured Jerusalem and marched into the Jewish temple and sacrificed a pig on the Altar of Incense.
How to measure the tent's surface area for its covering.

The blueprints from Exodus 26:15-37 continue the construction instructions for the Wilderness Tabernacle.

It's a Jewish wedding tradition for the bride to circle the groom, a ritual known as hakafot, הַקָּפוֹת which symbolizes several things including creating a new home, building a protective "wall" around the groom, and the start of a new life together. The bride typically circles the groom seven times, a number with deep significance in Judaism that represents completion and perfection.

Exodus 27:9-21

9 `And thou hast made the court of the tabernacle: for the south side/to edge southward, hangings

for the court of twined linen, a hundred by the cubit [is] the length for the one side/edge,

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/edge 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/edge [are] hangings of fifty cubits, their

pillars ten, and their sockets ten.

13 And [for] the breadth of the court at the east side/to edge, eastward, [are] fifty cubits.

14 And the hangings at the side/shoulder [are] fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three.

15 And at the second side/shoulder [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.

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 27:18 by conflating Herod's Temple with the Wilderness Tabernacle, incorrectly calling it a "quadrangular figure." However, this rectangular courtyard violates Exodus 26:7-13 314-cubit circumference circle. Exodus 27:18 "the breadth is 50 by 50 (KJV "50 everywhere"), and the height 5 cubits." The 50-cubit courtyard radius is established in Exodus 26:7-13 and confirmed in Exodus 38:9-13.

court, 50 cubits wide and a 100 long."❌

Moses' building instructions start in Exodus 26:1-6, which Exodus 26 & 27 must accommodate.

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.

Exodus 27:20–21

Statues were presented for Israel's future generations,

and olive oil was provided to keep the candles burning overnight.

Condensation from the "cloud by day" (Exodus 13:21) on the dome can collect water from above.
However, condensation in the rectangle Tabernacle causes mildew, which is unclean (Leviticus 14).

The dome-shaped Tabernacle could be taken down in 4 hours with approximately 2500 to 3500 trained Levites. The much larger dome-shaped Tabernacle only weighs about 1/3 of the box-shaped Tabernacle.

Summed up in one sentence.

The Tabernacle's curtains are joined together as one by their 4-cubit "edge, end, outermost"

not their 28-cubit edges.

Ezra 3:12

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;

Haggai 2:3

Noah's Ark

Where were they going?
There are no 1-to-1 biblical Hebrew words for diameter and radius, so length and width do double duty for them in the proper context.
In an ocean storm what shape would be best for Noah's Ark since it had no propulsion, sails, rudder, wind veins, ballast, or any other controls? "Dead in the Water"
Noah's Ark has only one window, how would that look?
Would you send me an illustration of the biblically accurate Noah's Ark?
How is the word "ark" different from ship and boat?
Does archaeology tell us anything?

This section about Noah's Ark is completely separate from the Tabernacle.

I came up with this theory about the circular Noah's Ark in the spring of 2025.

Dr. Irving Finkel, British Museum Assyriologist, translated a 3,770-year-old Babylonian tablet (1750 BCE) describing the flood myth with Atra-Hasis (the Babylonian Noah). The tablet gives detailed instructions for building a large, ROUND, coracle-like ark—different from the traditional rectangular Biblical ark. His work was popularized in the book The Ark Before Noah (2014).
