This word is used to render several Heb. and Gr. terms in OT and NT, some of which denote a model, as in Ex 25:9,40 of the building model of the Tabernacle shown to Moses on the mount (cf. Nu 8:4
You must make [it] according to all that I show you-the design of the tabernacle as well as the design of all its furnishings."
Be careful to make [everything] according to the model of them you have been shown on the mountain.
This is the way the lampstand was made: it was a hammered work of gold, hammered from its base to its flower petals. The lampstand was made according to the pattern the Lord had shown Moses.
These serve as a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was warned when he was about to complete the tabernacle. For He said, Be careful that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.
