PrinciplesofBibleStudy• Paul’scounseltoTimothy:
– 16AllScriptureisgivenbyinspira2onofGod,andisprofitablefordoctrine,forreproof,forcorrec2on,forinstruc2oninrighteousness,17thatthemanofGodmaybecomplete,thoroughlyequippedforeverygoodwork.2Tim3:16-17(Ps119:105;Prov30:5-6;Is8:20;John17:17;1Thess2:13;Heb4:12)
– forprophecynevercamebythewillofman,butholymenofGodspokeastheyweremovedbytheHolySpirit.2Pet1:21
• Bibleversions:– UseversionswiththeclosesttranslaQontotheoriginallanguage
• RecommendcomparingNKJV(usedhere),NASB95,KJV,andESV
– Concordancesources:www.abibleconcordance.com;www.blueleeerbible.org
• UseofExpositorystudymethods(versusThemaQcstudy)– ThismethodexplorestheliteralmeaningofeachwordinScriptureandits

Moses was given a pattern of the heavenly Sanctuary/Tabernacle that embodies and represents God's plan of salvation in symbols and types. (Ex 25:8-9; Heb 8:5)
1Viewed from above the east gate entrance, the Sanctuary furnishings (including the courtyard) are arranged in the shape of a cross.2The Ark of the Covenant contains God's law, the 10 commandments, protected by 2 'covering angels' (Lucifer; Eze 28:14). The mercy seat on the Ark is God's throne in heaven (Ex 25:17-22).
