Excerpt from The Tabernacle of Israel in the Desert, Vol. 2: A Companion Volume to the Portfolio of Plates, Explanatory of the Particulars, With Detailed Plans, Drawings, and Letter-Press Descriptions Plate I. Ground-plan of the Tabernacle, with Elevation of the Door-way to the Court, and a Bird's-Eye Sketch of the Desert of Sinai and the Surrounding Regions. Plate II. The Tabernacle as pitched before Mt. Sinai. Explanations. - The view is from the North. The wide plain in the foreground is that of er-Rahah. The central mountain in the background is Jebel Musa (in the wider application of the name), of red granite, seamed and cracked as if by fire; and the pinnacle immediately in front is Ras Sufsafeh. At the right is Jebel Ghubsheh, of dark porphyry, with the valley of the Lejah between. At the left is Jebel ed-Deir, inclosing the valley of the same name, so-called from the monastery of St. Catherine situated in it. The tents scattered around are those of the leading Israelites, the upright octagonal one being supposed to be that of Moses himself. (The regular encampment around the Tabernacle is not here exhibited, as that arrangement appears to have been made for the march at a later period than the first erection at Sinai.) The plain has a few stunted bushes, and a couple of rills issue from the valleys on either side of the middle cone. In the foreground is a side-view of the Tabernacle (enough of the front being shown to give a general idea of its form), surrounded by the Court. The cloudy Pillar is resting on the roof over the Mercy-seat. A Levite is raking together the embers on the Altar of Burnt-offering, and a priest is washing his feet at the Laver. Outside the high-priest is taking the scape-goat to the man who is to lead it away into the wilderness. Plate III. Erection of the Tabernacle at a Stopping-place in the Desert. Explanations. - The view is from the South. The background is the pass of Wady el-Ain (in the heart of the Desert east of Mt. Sinai), so called from a spring that sends a small stream through the valley. The mountains rise about 3,000 feet perpendicularly. The Levites are seen busy in unloading the wagons, rearing the walls of the Tabernacle, and bringing the poles, the sockets and the various pieces of furniture. A few priests (Aaron's sons) are sitting or standing by, superintending the work. All are in the common Oriental habiliments of secular life, as the sacred order wore their distinctive costumes only when on official duty. The ladder in the foreground, obviously needful in adjusting the fixtures to the tops of the planks, is like those depicted on the monuments as used by the ancient Egyptians in scaling the walls of hostile cities. The cloudy pillar hovers in the air, indicating the spot for the encampment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
