In this episode of The Hebrew Key we look at a unique word that is used only six times in the Torah, all in the context of the High Priest’s clothing. But the seventh appearance of this word is in Isaiah’s vision of God’s throne room. But, for some reason, it is always translated differently. Follow along as we discover some fascinating connections found only in the Hebrew Bible.
שול (soul) = “hem/skirt”
Exodus 28:33-37 “You shall make on its hem pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet material, all around its hem, and bells of gold between them all around: a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the robe.”
Exodus 39:24-26 On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all around the hem of the robe, between the pomegranates – a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate around the hem of the robe for ministering, as Adonai had commanded Moses.
Isaiah 6:1-4 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the hem of His robe filled the Temple [or “palace”]. Seraphim were stationed above Him. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is Adonai of hosts. The whole earth is full of His glory!”
And the foundations of the thresholds swayed at the voice calling out, while the house was filling with smoke.
Exodus 33:18-19 Moses said, “Please show me Your glory.” And he said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you…”
Revelation 21:22-23 And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
