Keluaran 25:13-15

25:13 You are to make poles of acacia wood, overlay them with gold, 25:14 and put the poles into the rings at the sides of the ark in order to carry the ark with them. 25:15 The poles must remain in the rings of the ark; they must not be removed from it.

The Materials for the Sanctuary

25:1 ¹ The Lord spoke to Moses:

Kisah Para Rasul 8:7-8

8:7 For unclean spirits, ²  crying with loud shrieks, were coming out of many who were possessed, ³  and many paralyzed and lame people were healed. 8:8 So there was ⁴  great joy ⁵  in that city.

[25:1]  ¹ sn Now begin the detailed instructions for constructing the tabernacle of Yahweh, with all its furnishings. The first paragraph introduces the issue of the heavenly pattern for the construction, calls for the people to make willing offerings (vv. 2-7), and explains the purpose for these offerings (vv. 8-9). The message here is that God calls his people to offer of their substance willingly so that his sanctuary may be made.

[8:7]  ² sn The expression unclean spirits refers to evil supernatural spirits which were ceremonially unclean, and which caused the persons possessed by them to be ceremonially unclean.

[8:7]  ³ tn Grk “For [in the case of] many who had unclean spirits, they were coming out, crying in a loud voice.”

[8:8]  ⁴ tn Grk “and there came about,” but this is somewhat awkward in English.

[8:8]  ⁵ sn Great joy. The reason for eschatological joy was that such events pointed to God’s decisive deliverance (Luke 7:22-23). Note how the acts of healing extend beyond the Twelve here.
