The Veil and the Craftsmen (Exodus 31:1-17)

Home » Teaching » Old Testament » Exodus » The Veil And The Craftsmen Exodus 311 17 |  September 6, 2020

In this last lesson on the construction of the temple, we first take a look at the veil, which Hebrews tells us represents Jesus' flesh. With this in mind, we take a deeper look at the details of this veil to see if there are more parallels to Jesus. We also learn that the craftsmen who made the veil and other woven materials were master craftsmen "filled with the divine Spirit."  We consider what this means and the practical application for Christians, who are engaged in building God's church.  Finally, we learn about the Sabbath requirements and ask whether these apply to Christians today.
