Join as we learn together Kish for
Thursday parases Vayak and Pakud when
Vayak and Pakud are combined on a nonan
leap year. Uh we are now in the second
part of the Torah readings meaning there
are two Torah readings combined Vayak
and Pakud. So this would be the second
part of the second Torah reading for the
fifth day of the week, Thursday parases
fakud.
Yesterday we learned
about the calculations of what the gold
and silver were used for and copper.
Today we continue with the making of the
garments, how they were instructed, and
how they actually made the garments for
the coingal and the kanim.
Chapter 38 verse two.
Chapter 39 verse2.
And they made the aphot
was made up of gold of turquoise wool
purple wool shani and scarlet wool mazar
and twined linen.
I'm sorry that's continuing into verse
three.
And they hammered as
the sheets of gold.
Then they cut it into threads
that it should be intertwined together
with the turquoise wool
and within the purple wool between and
in the scarlet wool within the linen.
This was a woven design. The very fact
that they were able to take the gold and
intertwine it with the other materials.
Verse three, Rashi.
The word mean comes from
to the when God spread out the heavens
that he's in the second day of creation.
It was the heavens above and the heavens
below and he took the heavens and spread
them out over the water. The same
terminology is used
and the tarum uses that he hammered it
made it into
they would take the gold and they would
make it into small sheets of gold. Over
here the Torah is telling us hey
how would they actually intertwine the
gold threads with the other types of
material threads and therefore the Torah
explains us how it was done.
They would take the uh gold uh the gold
they would make it then into very thin
thin sheets
and then they would cut the sheets of
gold in lengthwise making it
And each one was intertwined.
This is the way it was made in the
breastplate and in the
as it says in those items the material
was also of gold as well. So how is it
done?
You would have one gold strand
with six strands of turquoise.
So you had one gold together with six of
the other kind of the material
because each one of the other materials
it was double six the and the gold was a
seventh
which was interwoven with the other one.
So you have a total of 28 threads in
each one of them. Four kinds four times
six plus you have the se the seven of
the uh the seven strands of gold. So you
make that that six times uh six of each
one because in each one there was a
strand of gold which makes it a total of
28 strands as we explained this
previously in the Torah reading of Tava
when we spoke about the garments of the
high priest of how God commanded Moshe
to make them.
Verse four, the belt they made attached
to it shoulder straps
which were attached on both sides on
both of its two ends was connected.
Verse five,
and the belt that was fastened above it
was made up of the same items,
gold, turquoise, purple, scarlet, and
linen twine
like God commanded Moshe. Verse six,
and then they made the onx stones
that they were surrounded
that they had in them. They were encased
with gold.
They were then engraved
with this as a signant ring.
The names of the Jewish people of the
tribes were engraved on each one of
those stones.
And then they took those gold stones
that were then had these encased gold
settings and they put them on the
shoulders of the
should be used as stones of remembrance
for the Jewish people.
God commanded Moses. Verse eight.
And then they made the breastplate.
This was made into a woven design. It
was made similar as the aphod was made
with the same materials
are made up of gold, turquoise, purple
wool, scarlet wool, and of linen wine.
Verse 9, the breastplate had to be made
into a square. It was then folded. Is
how they made the breastplate.
It was a span long of It was a span long
and a spand with it was folded over.
Verse 10
and then they filled it with they filled
it then with four rows of mountain
gemstones.
The first row was contained chameleon,
emerald and topaz.
Then the second row verse 11 and the
second row
was kbuckle sapphire and a diamond.
Verse 12ishi
the third row was zone
agate
and ameth sorry for the
misprononunciation but that's the way we
understand it. And the fourth one is
was aarine onyx and jasperish.
All of these were then mounted and
encased in gold settings.
How they were inserted and encased from
around it was gold around it and then it
sat in these gold inserts. Verse 14.
And these gems had the names of the 12
sons of Israel
12 of them on their names. They were
like engraved as a signant ring each
person according to his name.
According to the 12 tribes, there were
the 12 tribes that were on each one of
the 12 stones
as well as it also had as we mentioned
in par
this way. It also mentioned all one all
of the letters of the alfet were on it
because as you know in the 12 tribes
there were two letters of the alipets
that are not in any of the 12 tribes
which is andess and as sin as they were
holy. So therefore with the names of
you then had all the olive pet on the
stones of the
verse 15.
Then they made on this breastplate
uh they made gold chains that were
braided were braided like quartz made
out of gold.
Verse 16.
And then they made two gold settings
with two gold rings coming out of it.
And these two rings then were set on the
two edges of the of the breastplate
which from there as we're soon going to
see in the next verse the gold chains
were coming out of
and they put these two gold braids into
the two rings
which were on the edge of the
breastplate. Verse 18.
Then they attach these two ends of the
two braids and the two settings.
They attach those to the shoulder straps
of the aphod that were facing him. So
the shoulder straps came from the front
back folded over to the front. Verse 19.
And they made two gold rings
and they put them on the two edges of
the breastplate
which were on the fa on the edge of the
faces of the aphod on the inner part of
the breastplate. That means within there
was a fold inside the fold they would
put those two rings from it the two
chains would come out and then connect
to the top shoulder straps as we see in
the next verse verse 20.
And then they made two gold rings
and they put them on the two shoulder
straps of the aphod on the bottom
from facing that means if you were
facing a the person wearing the aphod
on the uh next to wear they were joined
above the shoulder above the belt
above the belt of the aphot. So you had
two rings on the top, two rings on the
bottom, two rings on the top of the a on
the shoulder straps of the aphold which
then connected with the chains to the
two rings that were coming out of the
breastplate. Two rings on the bottom of
the breastplate that were connecting to
the belt of the aphod which kept it in
place like Rashi explained in para that
it shouldn't shake from place to place.
Verse 21.
They link the breastplate by its rings
to the rings of the aphot
using a turquoise thread
that it should stay on the belt of the
aphot.
And the breastplate should never move
from
uh the
like God commanded Moshe. This concludes
the fifth Torah reading for parasake and
puk
