In February of 2025, 119 Ministries posted a video entitled, "Was God's Tabernacle a Circle" under the pretense of "testing everything", specifically in this case, the round Tabernacle discovery.  While the 119 team member challenged all of but two claims pertaining to the round Tabernacle discovery, the vast majority of the "teaching" video was really an apologetic for the rectangular Tabernacle.  But were the rectangular models that the 119 team showcased in their video in effort to refute the round Tabernacle claim ever tested in accordance with Bible specifications, or real-world physics?  A careful look at their published content would require one to respond with a resounding "NO", and would reveal a grotesque amount of discrepancies in the models and reasoning put forth by the 119 Ministries team. 

The Proverbs say that "the first to present his case sounds right, until another comes along and questions him".  This is most certainly true in the case of the 119 Ministries video.  After all, it's easy to look at two Hebrew words like "orech" and "rochav" or ארך and רחב in Hebrew, which merely means "length and width", and claim that the structure "MUST BE a RECTANGLE" based upon one single verse like Exodus 27:18, which in translation usually seems to describe a rectangle measuring 100 x 50 cubits.  But what if I told you that the Hebrew text actually specified a courtyard that measured 100 cubits in length and 50 by 50 cubits in width and 5 cubits in height?  Suddenly, given the FOUR dimensions specified in the Hebrew Exodus texts, including TWO curious width dimensions, it becomes a little more difficult to make the claim that what's being described here is just an ordinary rectangle which can be specified by or conveyed with only two dimensions.

But what if I told you that there was still more to the story?  What if in their zeal and ignorance the 119 team haphazardly missed dozens--almost dozens of dozens--of details in the Hebrew texts that describe the Tabernacle as they were showing and endorsing rectangular models as visual teaching supplements?  How would you know what was true and tested?  Well, because the 119 team posted dysfunctional rectangular models examples as being representative of the Exodus text, I have taken the time to flag the many nonconformances--which 119 (and many other parties) have carelessly overlooked.  In fact, in honor of 119's "test everything" claim and numeric corporate branding, I've identified 119 "transgressions" against the Tabernacle as committed by 119 in their "hit-and-run" presentation.  I say "hit-and-run" presentation because 119 not only failed to ask me any questions before defaming my work and bearing false witness, but because they also declined a challenge to debate following their video posting, and have gone so far as to block and censor my responses within their social media (facebook page).  Hopefully, given the list of discrepancies below, you'll not only see not only how they can't count, but how they can't identify shapes, how they can't cite the proper Hebrew... and why they run and hide when challenged (this "test everything" ministry has yet to respond to my 119 questions that I've made in response).  Needless to say, there is good reason that public accountability and quality of workmanship are intrinsically linked.

For public consideration, what I'd refer to as "119 Transgressions against the Tabernacle" are itemized and illustrated the the charts and images below.  The images were extracted directly from the 119 video, along with timestamps, should the audience be curious as to the exact source of 119's representative images shown below.
