Terumah (Exodus 25:1 - 27:19)
Receive Learning Materials
Meaning of the Torah portion name
The portion is named Terumah, literally "offering", because it begins with God telling Moses
to command the people to bring offerings that will be used in building the Desert Tabernacle.
The portion contains detailed explanations as to the different cultic artifacts that are to be made for the Tabernacle. The Israelites are commanded to bring offerings of gold, silver, copper, different fabrics, leather, oils and spices, and precious stones.
The artifacts that the Israelites are commanded to make are an ark, a table, and a lampstand. They are then commanded to build the actual Tabernacle, and the altar. Most of the portion is comprised of the very detailed orders given to the Israelites - precise measurements and descriptions of each artifact and the different parts of the Tabernacle.
