Synopsis
According to Bible texts, God never instructed his people to build church or synagogues buildings for worship; however, he did give to Moses a set of exacting instructions by which to build his house. But what if these plans were forgotten by religious tradition - being lost in translation all while remaining hidden in plain sight?At Mount Sinai, Israel received special "Tabernacle" or "dwelling place" plans in order that God might live among them. However, nearly five centuries after the Exodus, God's tent was dismantled; and it seems that the original plans for God's house were lost in translation. How so? Translators and scholars have come to rely more upon on religious tradition than the original Exodus texts themselves. With deeply ingrained images and traditions, they imagine and teach that the beams, bars, curtains, and coverings form a rectangular Tabernacle structure was surrounded by a rectangular courtyard barrier - irrespective of the impracticality, obscurity, and logical contradictions resulting from the unusual tent arrangement.In Exploring God's House, Jewish and Christian Tabernacle orthodoxy is seriously challenged in the light of recent discoveries made in the Hebrew Exodus texts. Whereby traditional Bible translations imply a rectangular tent - extending from the assumption that narrow fabric tent curtains are joined together using the long edges, Exploring God's House applies Hebrew exegesis and basic engineering principles to decipher an entirely different and a truly magnificent Tabernacle structure from the Exodus account. Contrary to tradition, Tabernacle construction begins not by joining curtains on the long edges, but rather on the short and "outermost" edges, which are the edges that loom woven fabrics are traditionally "cut". While the Exodus fabric curtain details are traditionally dismissed as trivial detail, the logical outworking of the single misinterpreted idea have far-reaching implications. Presenting a preponderance of evidence, Hoy makes a case for a round yurt-like structure, standing nearly six stories tall. For example, if all tent curtains are joined by the short or "cut" edges as the Hebrew Bible specifies, the arrangement and the resulting curtain measurement implies the Hebrews' tent featured a circular Tabernacle perimeter (boasting a circumference of 314 and diameter of 100 cubits), conveying PI more accurately than known to any other ancient culture. Thus, instead of being part of a four layer roof - which is an unusual configuration assumed by tradition - the curtain assembly creates fabric walls, encircling the enormous round Hebrew Tabernacle, which is likewise the logical outworking of the literal Exodus texts and hardware rearrangement. Given the verse-by-verse commentary, interlinear Hebrew-English content, an abbreviated concordance, and hundreds of color images, renderings, and illustrations, Exploring God's House is ideal for any reader hoping to see beyond the traditions and translations. Ideal for student and classroom use, Exploring God's House also includes questions at each chapter to test comprehension and to stimulate further learning and conversation. While the commentary is written to accommodate a wide range of students (including postgraduate level curriculum), Exploring God's House features beautiful high definition images, which are annotated via intuitive captions which include descriptions that are discernible to grade school students. See how the Exodus texts come to life and as the ancient Tabernacle is restored after being lost for scores of generations, revealing a massive tent seventeen times larger than tradition! Rediscover the true house of worship that Moses originally described, and learn why the Tabernacle was only house of worship that God designed and designated to be his own "dwelling place".
