"Our fathers had the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness, just as he who spoke to Moses directed him to make it according to the pattern which he had seen.

Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who live according to the pattern you have in us.

Follow the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary; for when Moses was about to erect the tabernacle, he was instructed by God, saying, "See that you make everything according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain."
