Only a copy and a shadow. "Still further proof is that the work which the priests of the Jewish Law do, imitates the true service in heaven. That is, it makes us know there is true service in heaven, even though the things that priests of the Law do are not that true service." Like the pattern. God's strict instruction to Moses is used here as proof that the priests served in the earthly tent in imitation of the heavenly things. MacKnight thinks that God explained to Moses that exactness was necessary in constructing the earthly tent for worship and the things that were to be done there, because they were to be a copy and shadow of the true tent and true service in heaven.
