“Solicit from whomever will volunteer from their heart a tᵊrūm•âhꞋ for é‑‑ä. Here's the list of what you'll need:

  • Gold, silver and bronze;

  • Dyes of tᵊkheilꞋët, royal purple and crimson;

  • Finest-grade linen, goat-wool, red stretched ram-leather;

  • Acacia-wood;

  • Olive-oil for light and spices for cologne and fragrant incense;

  • Onyx and other gems to be set in the Ei•phodꞋ and KhōꞋshën.

Then they may make a Mi•qᵊdâshꞋ to Me so I may Neighbor within them.

As with everything in which I am enlightening you — the ta•vᵊn•itꞋ of the Mi•shᵊkânꞋ and the ta•vᵊn•itꞋ of each of its utensils — make it so!”

“Then they shall make an •rōnꞋ of acacia wood: 1¼ meters wide x 75 cm deep x 75 cm high; gilded – inside and out – in pure gold with a garland of gold all around the top edges. Attach a large gold ring to each of the four feet, through which you shall slide 2 poles of acacia wood also gilded in gold, one pole on each side, to carry the •rōnꞋ. The gilded poles shall remain permanently in the rings of the •rōnꞋ.

(The •rōnꞋ is to encase the Eid•ūtꞋ when I provide it to you.)”

“You shall adorn the Ka•pōrꞋët of the •rōnꞋ with two Kᵊrūv•imꞋ, one on each end of the Ka•pōrꞋët, facing each other, with their heads bowed toward the Ka•pōrꞋët and their wings spread upward.

Then put the Ka•pōrꞋët on the •rōnꞋ, encasing within it the Eid•ūtꞋ that I shall provide you.

When I shall keep My appointments with you, it is from there — from between the two Kᵊrūv•imꞋ on the Ka•pōrꞋët of the •rōnꞋ hâ-Eid•ūtꞋ — that I will speak with you about everything that I've commanded you for Bᵊn•eiꞋ-Yi•sᵊrâ•eilꞋ.”

Optional parental preparation:

  1. What are the elements of a good plan?

  2. Demonstrate the dimensions of the •rōnꞋ.

  3. Does the child understand what the items that were solicited are? Can you demonstrate the colors? The scents of the spices?

Questions you might anticipate that your child might raise and be prepared to discuss:

  1. What is a "fund-raising campaign"?

  2. What's the difference between a local campaign and a national campaign?

  3. What does "mobile" mean? "Pre-fab"?

  4. What does "volunteer" mean?

  5. What does the verb "neighbor" mean?

  6. What are utensils?

  7. What does it mean to "encase" something?
