Was God’s Tabernacle a Circle?

A newer theory proposes the question, was the Tabernacle a circle? If the Tabernacle described in Exodus was really a circle but translators have stated it’s a rectangle, what would the implications of that be? In the end, does it even matter?

To be fair Mr. Hoy is an architect who took time off to learn the Hebrew language before he started this project. He used only the materials listed in the Bible. He also followed the building instructions in the Bible.There is an excellent YouTube video on this on Rob Skiba’s channel. If memory serves Mr. Hoy tried making the rectangle temple but it did not work with the material list given in the Bible. I find it fascinating that Mr. Hoy’s version is shaped like the firmament, it also resembles a footstool (Matthew 5:35 nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great king.) and would be wind resistant in the desert.

I have read and studied Andy Hoy's book and the scripture on the tabernacle. His discovery is profound in that not only does it resemble a circle, the tabernacle also represents Father's clock; a 360 degree circle with four intercalary days embedded within for a 364 day year in the Tsadok Priestly calendar according to Enoch and Jubilees. The menorah is half the circle with the flames across the top representing the vernal equinoxes every spring and the branches of the Menorah representing the tropics of Capricorn and Cancer and the equator. The idea that Elohim would create a tabernacle that not only resembled the radius of the earth and the dome above where the luminaries circle overhead is amazing and mind blowing. He would never place us into a box like an institution who makes its graduates wear the miter board. Everything about Yah is circular including the Hebrew thought. I suggest analyzing the scripture while taking a closer look at the work done by Hoy.

After reading Mr Hoy's book, I am a firm believer in the domed tabernacle.

[nephilimslayer]

Doesn't sound like you actually read Andrew Hoys book, and does seem like you are trying to sew division in the body, and THAT IS WRONG

[Tracy-Inches]

He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth; its dwellers are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

roll you into a ball, and sling you into a wide land. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will remain—a disgrace to the house of your master.

[kimgillham]

I'm not sure this has been properly researched. And, while Andrew isn't the only person who has found the round tabernacle, the Ethiopian people also have God's Church as a round building plus Yurts were prolific at the time as well, his (Andrew's) research and dedication have helped to raise awareness- I'm living proof of that fact. And, then to learn and see how the round tabernacle aligns to the calendar and our anatomy in ways that truely show us we are lovingly and intelligently designed.

Plus, this discovery does not undermine the Bible as you imply, rather it requires us to read it more clearly and with more consciousness.

Finally the use of the word "corner" is a mistranslation in most circumstances. It should say "wing".

I'm utterly devastated that this production was aired without Andrew being able to explain, because once you see the truth, you can't unsee it. This is an instance where many are missing the beautiful truth. I hope you do the right thing per Torah, and speak with Andrew directly on your channel, ask questions to learn, so your followers can see the truth for themselves.

I pray this through Yahusha HaMashiach and Ruach HaQuodesh.

Please have Mr Hoy on to discuss this. He has done a response and seems to have good justifications for his translation choices. An open discussion would save a dozen back and forth responses, and help us to understand both perspectives better.

Hey 119! I will start out with thanking you for doing all the hard work to produce this video!
But here we go
I’m a carpenter and I hear and use measurements all the time.
Hearing these measurements recorded in the scriptures… to me it sounds like a rectangular shape is being described. Unfortunately I personally think you have made a fatal error in this teaching and would encourage you to remake the section where you display images and talk about the ark of the covenant and the table for bread. I think the images you chose to use and the way you decided to discredit the circle theory is making you look silly and will definitely be the talking points of any response videos

Instead I propose that you give a more accurate description of what the circle theorist would actually believe (if they use orech and rochav consistently)

The ark depiction is crazy first of all the lid measurements don’t list a height so why are you making the lid of the circular theory so tall… why not add a large rectangle on top of the other ark… wouldn’t that be fair. Also I would suggest based on hearing the measurements and thinking functionality you depict a bowl with the legs up to the rim and a plate sitting on top for a lid. Not a ball

And the same thing for the table… who would hear thos measurements and think ahhh ball table. Have you never seen a circular table… the height measurement clearly indicates leg height not table thickness. Again why is the rectangle table not a cubit and a half thick… I think this one was quite rude… definitely not in step with testing everything.
Just a thought - old 119

[NowIKnowAlef]

This is an awesome topic. It would be awesome if 119 could test Hoy's claim that the curtains are fastened end-to-end and not side-to-side. This is the basis of Project 314.

[Hebraism]

119Ministries: Did you reach out to Andrew Hoy for comment before making this video?

[oimate]

I really appreciate 119, but on these fringier topics their stance is typically very predictable (holding to the most traditional view pointl). In the past, Andrew Hoy has offered to debate anyone on this topic. It would be really great to see 119 host an interview with Andrew Hoy from Project 314, since they would have some very reasonable and good questions.

[kimgillham]

Notice in Exodus 27:1 it specifically states "square", but it doesn't when referring to the Tabernacle.

Why do you think that is?

[Tracy-Inches]

Andy does great work, Shalom y'all

[kimgillham]

Oh my it just came to me; probably based on many comments below so thank you to those people.

This teaching pushes rectangle when the word wasn’t even used. YET 119 totally ignores “circle of the earth” despite it being used in Isaiah 40:22, which states that OHF "sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, " in reference to our flat stationary HaAratz. Not sphere.

That is very selective and clearly intentional.

I’m wondering if OHF knew this would happen and has His hand in this to pull the veil from those He wants to see. Just as the jab woke many of us up to FE and Him, I think this is going to wake people up to the true Tabernacle and then biblical cosmology.

Rev 1:7 supports FE because all those who pierced him saw him coming in the clouds.

Only on a FE and the event had to have happened back when those people were still alive.

This world has been full of deception (nasa=beguiled) so of course we must question traditional interpretations. Thank you for this video because it is so wrong it is going to help wake many up.

[NasaLiesYou]

I have been convinced it is. The website i shared blew my mind.

[reality]

I strongly believe it was dome shaped, it’s the only thing that makes sense. I rectangular box shape would blow away in a medium to high winds no matter how it was tied down. A dome shape repels very high winds easily. Also the way it’s described fits a dome shape

[MellovesYah]

This video doesn't seem in line with Torah. Sad

[keithmiller]

Point # 2. I suppose y'all believe in a spinning rotating earth rather than the dome covered stationary flat horizon earth Genesis depicts. The Hoy version seems to replicate the. said dome which most translators go with Copernicus rather than Yahvah of scripture!

[th_C]

Been keeping an eye on Andrew Hoy and Project 314 for several years now. It’s definitely an interesting concept. I have reached out to Andy in the past with questions about his hypothesis going beyond what he has covered in public. He basically told me to go read his book. I havnt gotten around to purchasing it yet.

Test everything. The TaNaKh (Law, Prophets, Writings incl. Psalms.) is mainly written in Hebrew. Daniel is written in Aramaic. The Hellenized New Testament is in ancient and classical Greek. Context defines word meanings. If the Hebrew word equivalent for the English word radius is to be understood by the context, there would have to be a diameter and circumference ratio of a circle which is 3.14. That ratio is called pi. Pi was the ratio seen by Andrew Hoy when reading the English text. So Mr. Hoy went to Israel to study Hebrew language to get the Hebrew understanding. His knowledge is vast in regards the architecture and engineering of the tabernacle. It is far superior to any artist's limited vision of the word for sides. Mr. Hoy sees the floor print of the tabernacle as that of a compass rose: North, South, East and West and all points in between. Andrew Hoy being an engineer has knowledge that is revelatory. He has proved that the materials list is completely adequate. His knowledge of the language has enhanced his understanding of the size and function of the tabernacle. Test everything is exactly what Mr. Andrew Hoy has done in Project 314.
