What does the beginning of “Redemption” look like? Is there a price to pay? Then what? How do we keep from building another “Golden Calf” ? Following Torah, that is the answer my friends!
The book of Exodus opens with a Nation, the Children of Israel, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob being led out of Egypt by The Holy One Himself by the hand of Moses. Along with them, were the “foreigners”. Living as slaves in exile, this was only the beginning of the Redemption! The newly redeemed  marched out of bondage and took all the wealth of Egypt with them. The goods they contributed to the Tabernacle building fund would have been worth today, around 15 Million.

Here’s the breakdown from Exodus 38:   in solid gold, there were 29 talents and 730 sheckels (v. 24). This would be valued at over $3,000,000.00 today.  Silver was recorded totaling 100 talents and 1775 sheckels (v.25). This amount of silver would be worth over $5,000,000.00 today. Finally there was the nachoshet, translated bronze in most bibles. The redeemed brought 70 talents and 2400 sheckels (v.26). Today this would bring around $2,000,000.00. If you are keeping track, we are up to Ten Million Dollars so far! Factor in the exotic oils and spices, semi and precious stones, rare woods, animal skins, the elaborate fabrics. According to several accountings, we are looking at a tent in the wilderness that was worth today a grand total of $15,000,000.00. To me this is almost overwhelming to think about.

Redemption in Hebrew is the word geullah. This comes from the root word ga’al, גאל, (pronounced, gaw-al).  Ga’al is defined as redeemed, to redeem, act as kinsman, avenger, bought back, buy back, claim, rescue, closest relative. This terminology is used frequently in “covenant” relationships.  Lets look at the picture this word makes:  ga’al is gimmel, alef, lamed. Something lifted up (like a camel from it’s knee) [gimmel] by The Holy One [alef] who will now proceed to guide, teach, prod, and move forward [lamed]. A purposeful intervention! Moses here is the one who is standing to “shepherd” the redeemed. He is the one that inspects all the donations, each and every item passed through his inspection.   He is the one with the staff!  He will serve as the mediator, the announcer, and teacher.

There is a Covenant here that was established with Abraham and his “seed”.  This Covenant is Firm! The Holy One is not going to change His Mind on Anything!  We are looking here in Pekudei the renewal process of relationship between The Holy One and His redeemed. We are embarking upon Shalom (peace) my friends! The Redeemer will now look down and gaze most intimately at His Bride to evaluate her for the purpose of promotion and/or correction (through Moses).  After the Golden Calf debacle, trading  the “stuff” for the Manifest Presence of The Holy One, was being brought out of darkness and into the Light! They were ready to do and obey! To enter into that Covenant that was fulfilled by the blood of The Lamb! The Messiah Yeshua!

It’s definitely, All about Yeshua!  Torah, The Covenant, every move The Holy One makes! It’s about bringing us out of Exile and coming close, dwelling, in a Mishkan (a Tabernacle) with The Holy One Himself! His Torah is the Covenant we must pass through. And that Covenant was fulfilled by Our Messiah.  This entire Redemption story is a picture of when Yeshua will appear and end the horror and usher in an Era of unsurpassed Shalom! 

Look how Paul references the Tabernacle here in 1 Corinthians, chapter 3:

7. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only G-d who makes things grow. ⁸ Now he who plants and he who waters work as one, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. ⁹ For we are G-d’s co-workers; you are G-d’s field, G-d’s building.¹⁰ According to the grace of G-d which was given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each consider carefully how he builds on it. ¹¹ For no one can lay any other foundation than what is already laid—which is Yeshua the Messiah. ¹² Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, ¹³ each one’s work will become clear. For the Day will show it, because it is to be revealed by fire; and the fire itself will test each one’s work—what sort it is. ¹⁴ If anyone’s work built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. ¹⁵ If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss—he himself will be saved, but as through fire. ¹⁶ Don’t you know that you are G-d’s temple and that the Ruach Elohim (Spirit of G-d) dwells among you? ¹⁷ If anyone destroys G-d’s temple, G-d will destroy him; for G-d’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.

May we all see the marvels of His House established on earth, in our lives, and in our world!

A prayer of Moses the man of G-d.
My Lord, You have been our dwelling
    from generation to generation.
 Before the mountains were born,
or You gave birth to the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting,
    You are G-d!

Psalm 90:1-2

Happy Day
