Exodus 25:9
French (La Bible expliquée)
Vous fabriquerez la tente et tous les objets sacrés conformément au plan et aux modèles que je vais te montrer. » Tous les Israélites pourront verser leur contribution au sanctuaire. L'offrande du pauvre ne sera pas méprisée, celle du riche ne sera pas surestimée. La vie liturgique d'Israël s'enracine dans la tradition de Moïse et représente la volonté de Dieu pour son peuple. C'est ainsi que la liturgie du temple de Salomon, celle du sanctuaire de Silo et celle de la tente de la rencontre sont une seule et même institution accordée par Dieu à Israël. Le sanctuaire reproduira la structure du temple pour permettre à Israël de participer aux cérémonies célestes.
