Daily Zohar # 1768 – Pekudei – The Tabernacle of testimony
.
Hebrew translation:
21. אֵלֶּה פְקוּדֵי הַמִּשְׁכָּן מִשְׁכַּן הָעֵדֻת. אֵיזוֹ עֵדוּת? אֶלָּא פְּעָמִים כָּתוּב כָּאן מִשְׁכָּן, אֶחָד לְמַעְלָה וְאֶחָד לְמַטָּה, וְהַמִּשְׁכָּן נִקְרָא מִשְׁכַּן הָעֵדוּת. וְאֵיזוֹ עֵדוּת? כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר שִׁבְטֵי יָ”הּ עֵדוּת לְיִשְׂרָאֵל. שֵׁם זֶה הוּא עֵדוּת לְיִשְׂרָאֵל.
22. כְּמוֹ כֵן (תהלים פא) עֵדוּת בִּיהוֹסֵף שָׂמוֹ. עֵדוּת שֵׁם יָהּ בִּיהוֹסֵף, הִיא עֵדוּת וַדַּאי. שְׁתֵּי הָאוֹתִיּוֹת הַלָּלוּ מְעִידוֹת עֵדוּת בְּכָל מָקוֹם, וְכָאן הוּא עֵדוּת. וּמִשּׁוּם כָּךְ מִשְׁכַּן הָעֵדֻת, הַמִּשְׁכָּן שֶׁל הָעֵדוּת הַזּוֹ, וְלָכֵן נִקְרָא מִשְׁכָּן, עַל סוֹד הַשֵּׁם הַקָּדוֹשׁ הַזֶּה. וְהַיְנוּ שֶׁכָּתוּב (שם קלב) וְעֵדֹתִי זוֹ אֲלַמְּדֵם. מִשּׁוּם שֶׁמָּקוֹם זֶה הוּא סֵתֶר וּגְנִיזַת הַכֹּל.

Zohar Pikudei
In the coming Shabbat we read the two portions of Vayakhel and Pekudei. They conclude the book of Shemot, “Exodus”.
Exodus 38:21
“אֵלֶּה פְקוּדֵי הַמִּשְׁכָּן מִשְׁכַּן הָעֵדֻת, אֲשֶׁר פֻּקַּד עַל-פִּי מֹשֶׁה: עֲבֹדַת, הַלְוִיִּם, בְּיַד אִיתָמָר, בֶּן-אַהֲרֹן הַכֹּהֵן”
“These are the records of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were recorded at the commandment of Moses, the responsibility of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.”
When the Tabernacle was being built the other side was looking for any reason to disrupt the process but couldn’t find anything. The builders were pure and followed Moses’s instructions faithfully.
Moses even laid out accurate accounting records in front of the people so there would be no doubts in their mind about the purity of his actions.
The Zohar asks “What is the ‘Tabernacle of the Testimony’” and answers that it is the יה YH of the name. The Tabernacle was a channel for Chokmah and Binah that are represented by the letters יה YH.
