Midrash Rabbah Vayiqra on Moses Entering the Tabernacle

When the Holy One, blessed is He, said to Moses, 'Make for Me a Tabernacle (Mishkan)', on every single thing Moses would write, 'as YHVH commanded Moses'. The Holy One, blessed is He, said, 'Moses arranged all this honor (kavod) for Me, yet I am inside it and he is still outside'. He called him to enter the innermost chamber of the Tabernacle. Therefore it is stated, 'He called to Moses and YHVH spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting' (Leviticus 1:1)."

-- Midrash Rabbah Vayiqra, 1.7


This is somewhat of a puzzle. Did Moses actually write these words on all the holy vessels, with a marker or something? The Midrash is revealing that the letters of the Holy Language have the power to transform the vibration (which the Midrash calls 'kavod') when written on objects. The vibrational resonances of the holy vessels were not complete upon their building ─ it was only when Moses came through and declared them to be 'as YHVH commanded', in other words, a vibrational witness that they were not just physical objects, but pure patterns and blueprints in the mind of God, and impressed this vibrational signification on each object, that they lit up with the vibrational resonance of divinity, so that then Shekhinah could dwell in the Tabernacle.

Still, this interpretation implies that the actual writing took place. Another interpretation: The holy vessels and furnishings of the Tabernacle were not primarily physical objects, but patterns and blueprints within the divine mind. They existed first as blueprints, and then later as physical objects. But before they even existed as blueprints, they primordially existed as the verbal descriptions as they are written in the Torah. When writing these designs into the Torah, Moses concluded them with the phrase 'as YHVH commanded', thereby serving as a written signification that they were not just paragraphs that Moses came up with on his own, but that they were patterns of thought in the mind of God.
 

Midrash Rabbah Leviticus on Stringing Together Words of Scripture

"Ben Azzai was sitting and expounding Scripture while a great fire was blazing all around him. Later, his students asked him about the incident: 'Is it perhaps that you have been delving into the arrangements of the Merkavah?' He replied to them: 'No. Rather, I string together passages from the Torah with passages from the Nevi'im, and passages from the Nevi'im with passages from the Ketuvim, and thus the words of Torah were as joyous as they were on the day they were given at Mount Sinai."

-- Midrash Rabbah Leviticus, 16.4


Here, Ben Azzai means that he is mapping out vibrational resonances between the various sections of the TaNaK. The indication is that this is a mystical activity that is similar in intensity to the Ma'aseh Merkavah when performed with skill.
