The TanakhTorah

Exodusשמות

Exodus opens in Egypt and closes with the Mishkan standing in the wilderness. Its first half is narrative, through the crossing of the sea and the giving of the Torah at Sinai; its last chapters give the building of the Mishkan twice, once as instruction and once as work done, nearly word for word. That repetition matters when you search here, because a text that repeats itself repeats its letter patterns too.
