Time to build the ark!
God gives Mo some instructions...
who and how to do.
If your heart moves you
bring your gifts for the Mishkan*
gold, silver, copper,
colored yarn, linen,
goats' hair, ram skins, acacia
oil, spices, gems...
Make two cherubim
and put them on the cover.
Make a table too.
Make a menorah
six branches -- of purest gold,
to light it all up.
Put the Ark, table,
and the menorah into
the Tabernacle.
Weave a curtain of
Purple, blue and crimson yarn
as a partition
Cover the Mishkan*
with fine twisted linen stuff.
Make it beautiful!
*AKA Tabernacle
Things are about to get a tad bloody...stay tuned for next week!
See more Haiku Friday here...
