Are all the tabernacle dimensions in the wilderness divisible by five?
Yes, all the dimensions of the wilderness tabernacle are divisible by five. The context states that every one of them is divisible by five and that everything is divisible by the number five. This signifies grace, because five in Scripture represents grace, even though the context is the law.
Les teaches that every dimension of the tabernacle in the wilderness is divisible by five, every one of them. He points out that five in Scripture is the number of grace. So even though the subject is law, the attribute of God that gives the law to Israel is grace. Grace prompted God to bring them out of slavery, to seek Adam and Eve after they disobeyed, and to keep dealing with Israel after the golden calf and gross immorality. He did not destroy the nation, and He gave them this whole system of worship—all because of grace. The linen curtains, for instance, are an outer fence, and this one is 150 feet long.
