If the very purpose of creation is embodied by the "Tabernacle" constructed by the Children of Israel in the desert, then every detail is of supreme importance to us. We need to know that the Menorah had 22 decorative goblets hammered into its design, and that each of the 48 wall panels measured 10 cubits in length and 1.5 cubits in width. It is necessary to define the 39 forms of creative work--from plowing to weaving to lighting to writing--involved in the Tabernacle's construction. For here we have the prototype for our life's work of making our world and our lives a home for G-d |
