The Seeds of Redemption ✡ "Make The Planks For The Mishkan Of Acacia Wood" - Israel365

You shall make the planks for the Mishkan of acacia wood, upright. Exodus 26:15 (The Israel Bible™) וְעָשִׂיתָ אֶת־הַקְּרָשִׁים לַמִּשְׁכָּן עֲצֵי שִׁטִּים עֹמְדִים Hear the verse in Hebrew v’-a-SEE-ta et ha-k’-ra-SHEEM la-mish-KAN a-TZAY shi-TEEM o-m’-DEEM   The Seeds of Redemption Jewish tradition teaches that Yaakov (Jacob) planted acacia trees, pictured above, in Egypt.

Jacob's Vision and Wisdom ✡ "The Tabernacle of Acacia Wood - ISRAEL365

And thou shalt make the boards for the Tabernacle of acacia-wood, standing up. Exodus 26:15 (The Israel Bible™)   וְעָשִׂיתָ אֶת הַקְּרָשִׁים לַמִּשְׁכָּן עֲצֵי שִׁטִּים עֹמְדִים שמות כה:טו v'-a-see-ta et ha-k'-ra-sheem la-mish-kan a-tzay shi-teem o-m'-deem

Jerusalem Inspiration Jewish tradition maintains that Jacob planted acacia trees on his way down to Egypt so that his descendants would have their wood to build the Tabernacle. The message here is two-fold: from Jacob we learn to prepare for the future, but we also learn not to give up hope. The exile is temporary and the Jews will return to their homeland.
