Download the fully expanded Exo 30:11-38 Triennial Ki tisa chiasm pdf (Coming …).
How do the A pairs pair? They are forced together by the surrounding elements. First the Father makes Atonement for us in the blood of Messiah Yeshua. Then we are anointed as a royal priesthood (See Finding Messiah below), walking in a daily living relationship with Him. These bookends enclose our offering of ourselves as a living olah, washed clean in the blood of Yeshua, that we die not.
Theme of the parashah
Atonement followed by washing, anointing, prayer.
Finding Messiah in Triennial Ki tisa
This pattern: atonement, washing, anointing, and prayer, was established in us when Messiah Yeshua called us to follow Him, trust in Him, and, forsaking the old man, receive new life in Him, First He makes atonement for us by His blood. When we receive His gift of grace, we are washed clean from our sins. This is basic salvation, or justification, that sets us in right-standing with the Father. Next comes the anointing oil of the Holy Spirit, or as Acts calls it, the baptism of the Spirit. The purpose of the baptism, Yeshua told us, is that we may receive power to serve as witnesses to Him to the ends of the earth.
“But you shall receive power, after the Holy Spirit is come upon you; and you shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the earth.” Yeshua, Act 1:8
But someone might say, ‘Wait a minute. The holy anointing oil is reserved for the priests.’ Yes; in Messiah, we all serve as a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.
“ ‘And you shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak unto the children of Israel.” Exo 19:6
You also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Yeshua Messiah. 1 Pet 2:5
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a special people; that you should show forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. 1 Pet 2:9
Following the anointing oil of His Spirit, is continual prayer going up before God in the Holy Place. We have seen that the altar of incense foreshadows our daily relationship with Messiah Yeshua in prayer. Torah is painting a prophetic picture of relationship, not religion, in Messiah Yeshua.
