We have a lot of material to cover in this double Torah portion. We will discover what the human soul has in common with the oil in the menorah. We also discover a fascinating connection between the bronze laver and prophetic visions. And then we consider what the silver hooks in the Tabernacle’s courtyard have to do with the making of a Torah scroll. But one of the most intriguing things we will look into is an enlarged letter in The Thirteen Attributes of Mercy that points directly to Yeshua. And last of all, we explore a fascinating connection between Exodus 40 and Numbers 9.
Exodus 35:28 …and spices and the oil for illumination, and for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.
