The tabernacle, covered with badger skins, was plain on the outside. But the interior was adorned with gold, silver, fine embroidery, and precious stones, for the chabod—the presence, the substance, the glory of God—was to be found inside. The same is true of Jesus. So ordinary looking was He externally that Judas had to identify Him to the Roman soldiers with a kiss. But the presence, the substance, the glory of God dwelt within Him to such a degree that some of it “leaked out” on the Mount of Transfiguration (Matthew 17:2).
