The Holy of Holies of the Tabernacle was a perfect cube, formed of the

veil, and the 4 pillars which supported it. This cube was the central

theme of its design, and the unit of measurement by which all parts of

the Tabernacle were apportioned. For practical purposes, one edge of

this cube was divided into 10 equal parts, and each of these parts was

called a cubit. In other words, the Holy of Holies of the Tabernacle was

10 cubits long in each of its three dimensions. The Oracle of the

Temple, on the other hand, measured 20 cubits in each of its three

dimensions. This increase in size destroyed the perfect harmony of

design which had prevailed in the Tabernacle. In the Tabernacle, the

Holy of Holies was placed in the middle of the structure, and the

celestial angle of 23 1/2 degrees was brought down to the center of the

cubical room. This descending angle was the essential ingredient of

Jacob's ladder, and below the center of the cubical it exactly subtended

the 1 1/2 cubits of the Ark of the Covenant in section. It also did the

same for the Ark in longitudinal section. The 7th ordinate of Jacob's

ladder intersected the Arc in its exact center, and joined the celestial

an d terrestrial spheres. It was the axis about which the Tabernacle

formed a symmetrical design. These celestial ingredients set the Holy of

Holies up as a material token that the Tabernacle was indeed none other

but the House of God. This did not hold true of the arrangement in the

Temple, for its Oracle was at the rear of the main room, and its

volumetric displacement was 8 times that of the Tabernacle's Holy of

Holies.
