7．约柜（三七1～5）

　　以色列人一进入会幕的院子，首先见到的就是燔祭坛。祭司按常规为他们在这里献祭。这祭坛明显地放在这里，提醒他们，只有藉著献祭才能来到神面前。这也是使他们的罪得赦、过犯得以除去的惟一方法。希伯来书中说耶稣基督是最后的献祭，为人一次到永远地赎了罪，之后就不用再为罪献祭了。（参来十1～18）

　　约柜是皂荚木作的箱子，里外包上精金，这是指主的人性和神性。里面有法版、装有吗哪的金罐、亚伦的杖（这杖发了芽）。若应用在基督身上，这些东西便是预表他自己，如诗人所说：“你的律法在我心里。”（诗四Ｏ8下）；神的粮从天上降下来（约六33）；是神所拣选、死而复活的大祭司（来七24～26）。若应用在以色列人身上，便是一切失败和叛逆的记号。

8．施恩座（三七6～9）

　　施恩座是神的宝座，是他居住地上的地方。金基路伯俯视施恩座，却看不见律法（以色列人曾违反律法）。也看不见吗哪罐和亚伦的杖，二者都与以色列人的叛逆有关。相反，他们看见洒下的血，这血让神用怜悯对待叛逆的罪人。施恩座预表基督，是“神设立……的挽回祭”（罗三25，直译）……施恩座就是约柜的盖子。

9．陈设饼的桌子（三七10～16）

　　陈设饼的桌子上有十二块饼。“预表以色列人接受基督，在神面前的地位。基督就是真正的亚伦，他叫以色列人现在也可到神面前来。”饼也许说出神供应十二支派的每一个。

10．金灯台及其附件（三七17～24）

　　有人认为精金制的灯台是基督的预表。表示基督是世界的真光（约八12）。也有人认为它是指圣灵；圣灵的工作就是荣耀基督。因为它把圣所里关于基督的事阐明出来。此外，还有人认为灯台预表基督与信徒相连。中间的干是独一无二的，因为其余六个枝子从两旁杈出来，每边三个枝子。这些枝子全都只是用一块金制成的。

11．香坛（三七25～28）

　　香坛说出基督成为神永远的香气，也表示主耶稣为我们在天上代求。

12．膏油和香（三七29）

　　膏油预表圣灵，香说出主永远完美的香气，叫他的父神喜悦。

Exodus 37 Construction Continues 1(A)Now Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; its length was two and a half cubits, and its width one and a half cubits, and its height one and a half cubits; 2and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a gold molding for it all around. 3He cast four rings of gold for it on its four feet; even two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. 4He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 5He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry it. 6He made a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide. 7He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat; 8one cherub at the one end and one cherub at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at the two ends. 9The cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat. 10(B)Then he made the table of acacia wood, two cubits long and a cubit wide and one and a half cubits high. 11He overlaid it with pure gold, and made a gold molding for it all around. 12He made a rim for it of a handbreadth all around, and made a gold molding for its rim all around. 13He cast four gold rings for it and put the rings on the four corners that were on its four feet. 14Close by the rim were the rings, the holders for the poles to carry the table. 15He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table. 16He made the utensils which were on the table, its dishes and its pans and its bowls and its jars, with which to pour out drink offerings, of pure gold. 17(C)Then he made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work, its base and its shaft; its cups, its bulbs and its flowers were of one piece with it. 18There were six branches going out of its sides; three branches of the lampstand from the one side of it and three branches of the lampstand from the other side of it; 19three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a bulb and a flower in one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a bulb and a flower in the other branch--so for the six branches going out of the lampstand. 20In the lampstand there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its bulbs and its flowers; 21and a bulb was under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 22Their bulbs and their branches were of one piece with it; the whole of it was a single hammered work of pure gold. 23He made its seven lamps with its snuffers and its trays of pure gold. 24He made it and all its utensils from a talent of pure gold. 25(D)Then he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit long and a cubit wide, square, and two cubits high; its horns were of one piece with it. 26He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and its sides all around, and its horns; and he made a gold molding for it all around. 27He made two golden rings for it under its molding, on its two sides--on opposite sides--as holders for poles with which to carry it. 28He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 29(E)And he made the holy anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense of spices, the work of a perfumer.
