In this chapter we continue with the details of the modular tabernacle – how many each of what types of pieces make up the structure, and how they fit together. Verse 6 discusses the gold clasps that can attach the cloths of the tabernacle together, concluding \u201cthe Tabernacle shall be one (ve-haya ha-mishkan ehad).\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The idea of the Tabernacle being \u201cone\u201d probably means, on the simple level, \u201cone whole,\u201d as the JPS translation has it. That is, the many pieces come together to make a whole. Even this understanding is not so simple, however, if we stop to think about it. Ibn Ezra, for example, compares the one-ness of the Tabernacle to the one-ness of a human being (whose body is made of many parts), the world, and even God. <\/span><\/p>\n

The simple act of putting together accomplishes something magical; a pile of 50 gold clasps and some large bolts of fabric become a tent. The fabric and leather and wood and metal becomes home to altars, a lamp, the ark. Ultimately all together they become home to God. <\/span><\/p>\n

Musing on the meaning of unity in this verse has brought commentators to even grander conclusions. <\/span>Shelal David<\/span><\/i> (R. Yosef David Sinzheim) comments that the Tabernacle\u2019s unity is supposed to reflect the unity of the Jewish people in its creations, which was accomplished without coercion or dispute. Zohar (Pekudei) understands the one-ness of the Tabernacle is the unity of the earthly Temple with its heavenly counterpart. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As we continue to wade deeper into the details of the Tabernacle, our challenge will be to keep these unities in mind and heart.
