Exodus 29:37-46 Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.
Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually. The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even: And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering.
And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the Lord. This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee. And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory. And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest's office. And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God. And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the Lord their God.
I'm working on the word "forty" in the bible and I'm also stuck on "forty sockets of silver" I know silver represents the moon. The bible said make thee two trumpets of silver and make them from a whole piece of silver, meaning the "full moon".
Exodus 16:33 is pretty cool. "And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations." (At the very end of the chapter the meaning is revealed. '36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah." Put the omer in the "tenth" and lay it up before the lord, meditate in the morning (that's where the manna is) and give the left side, your desires, fears, the 5 human senses, of your brain, the ten percent. It's also interesting to note that literally an ephah is a bushel, but it is also the name of one of Abraham's five son's)
Genesis 28:22 "And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee."
Most people (mis) interpret the bible literally and deduce that the temple where Jesus goes in Matthew 21:12 is a building just around the corner. Taken allegorically the word "Temple" means "a place in your mind" and not a physical building. "And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves". I don't think the bible is referring to a physical temple. Just take a look at the following Bible verses and see for yourself that the temple is a place in your mind and not a physical building. 1 Corinthians 3:16 claims flat out that we are the temples of God. "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? " And the same goes for 1 Corinthians 3:17 "If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." 1 Kings 6:7 says that there were no physical tools heard in building the temple. "And the house (temple), when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building." "Jesus throwing the money changers out of the temple" is a metaphor for getting rid of your desires of money and the worries about money that will consume your mind and make you miserable out of your mind. It's a bottomless pit. You do this in meditation.
I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God.
Exodus 16:15
And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.
Revelation 2:17
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
John 6:32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
John 6:49
Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
I believe religion misinterprets scriptures by taking the verses literally when they were meant allegorically. It's the "spirit" which means allegory and the "letter" which mean literal.
2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Romans 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
