19 T'rumah – Day 1
Sh’moth 25:1-16
And YHWH spoke to Mosheh, saying, “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, that they take up a contribution for Me. From everyone whose heart moves him you shall take up My contribution.
“And this is the contribution which you take up from them: gold, and silver, and bronze, and blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, and rams’ skins dyed red, and fine leather, and acacia wood, oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense, shoham stones, and stones to be set in the shoulder garment and in the breastplate.
“And they shall make Me a Set-apart Place, and I shall dwell in their midst.
“According to all that I show you – the pattern of the Dwelling Place and the pattern of all its furnishings – make it exactly so.
“And they shall make an ark of acacia wood two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
“And you shall overlay it with clean gold, inside and outside you shall overlay it. And you shall make on it a molding of gold all around.
“And you shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in its four corners, two rings on one side, and two rings on the other side.
“And you shall make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, and shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to lift up the ark by them.
“The poles are in the rings of the ark; they are not taken from it.
“And into the ark you shall put the Witness which I give you.

Tehillah 24 – Day 1 (Yom Rishon)
The earth belongs to YHWH, And all that fills it – The world and those who dwell in it.
For He has founded it upon the seas, And upon the waters He does establish it.
Who does go up into the mountain of YHWH? And who does stand in His set-apart place?
He who has innocent hands and a clean heart, Who did not bring his life to naught, And did not swear deceivingly.
He receives a blessing from YHWH, And righteousness from the Elohim of his deliverance.
This is the generation of those who seek Him; Ya‛aqoḇ, who seek Your face. Selah.
Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And let Melek Hakavod come in.
Who is this Melek Hakavod? YHWH strong and mighty, YHWH mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O you gates! Even lift up, you everlasting doors! And let Melek Hakavod come in.
Who is this Melek Hakavod? YHWH of hosts, He is Melek Hakavod! Selah.

And the man said to me, “Son of man, look with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I shall show you, for you were brought here in order that I might show it to you. Declare all that you see to the house of Israel.”
Ezekiel 40:4
What else would you look with than your eyes? The eyes, ears, and heart in this verse are spiritual, not physical senses. It follows then that the ensuing survey of the temple, city, and country are also spiritual. All of the measurements and structures described are metaphors meant as a pattern to which God wanted Israel to conform. Unfortunately, I have no idea what all of those measurements are supposed to mean.
