At Mount Sinai, Jehovah God specifically directed that this locally mined lustrous metal be used in the construction of the tabernacle, and later the temple in Jerusalem was built following the same pattern.
Siinai mäe juures andis Jumal Jehoova juhise, et seda kohalikku säravat metalli kasutataks kogudusetelgi ehitamisel, hiljem toimiti samamoodi Jeruusalemma templi ehitamisel (2. Moosese raamat, ptk 27).
