摩西會幕- The Tabernacle

奇本想遲的去南美洲和偷偷的去遊古巴， 經過菲律賓的事件發生後，實在無心情去這些較亂和危險的國家了！ 旅程要推遲了， 而其中美國對南美的多個國家一直有旅遊警告的， 美國更不准許國民去古巴的！ 雖然一直都想去古巴！為免家人擔心， 現不會去南美和偷偷的去古巴！ 以前曾經聽有旅行家說為何美國長期對一些國家如南美國家和對墨西哥發出旅遊警告，現在經過菲律賓的事件後便明白了！

先 Post 之前去過的摩西會幕的相片，遲的同大家介紹返啦！不過遲 D 同大家介紹完後， 會 Delete 摩西會幕這篇遊記的， 因為於會幕內是不准拍照的， 今次的相片多是用Post Card 的， 所以同大家介紹完後會 delete 了！
 

摩西會幕為於之前介紹過的Amish County 附近， 大約在公元前1450年，以色列人在埃及為奴四百三十年後(摩西五卷的第二卷出埃及記記載)，上帝差遣摩西去引領以色列人出埃及。 摩西就依照神的吩咐去見法老，法老不相信，後來經過十災後( 血災, 蛙災, 虱災, 蠅災, 畜疫之災, 瘡災, 雹災, 蝗災, 黑暗之災,長子之死災)，摩西終於將以色列人領出埃及。 摩西帶領他們渡過紅海，三個月後來到西乃曠野。 在西乃山上，
神將律法和會幕的指示給摩西， 而會幕就是當時以色列人敬拜上帝的地方。

"And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell their midst." Exodus 25:8
“又當為我造聖所、使我可以住在他們中間"- 出埃及記 25:8

Tabernacle Reproduction - The tabernacle stood in a courtyard measuring 75 feet in width and 150 feet in length.  Around the outside of the courtyard, a linen fence hung upon 60 posts. These posts were 7.5 in height and were spaced 7.5 feet apart.  They were placed in brass bases and had silver tops or crowns upon them.  Ropes and pins held the posts securely.  At the eastern edge of the court was a gate measuring 30 feet in width, through which the priests and Levites passed.  It was the only entrance into the outer court.

會幕外有洗濯盆和銅祭壇，而幕是會敬拜上帝的地方，會幕內的框架是用木造和包金的。內有兩個房間，第一個房間是聖所，只有祭司才可入聖所， 聖所內有金香壇、放餅的抬和金燈台。而第二個房間是至聖所，裡面放了約櫃。
