어린이를 위한 설명

Imagine you have a special spot in your room where you light a candle to talk to God. This verse is like God telling Moses to make a special place, like your special spot, but with incense instead of a candle. It's a place to say 'thank you' and 'sorry' to God.

역사적 배경

The Book of Exodus was written by Moses around 1446-1406 BC. This passage is part of the instructions for building the Tabernacle, the place where God would dwell among the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness. The use of shittim wood, a durable and aromatic wood, was significant as it symbolized purity and incorruptibility.
