The Betrothal: Waiting For The Groom

Eyrusin-  This is the actual betrothal period which is also called kiddushim which means "sanctification" or "set apart".  During this period in the betrothal is where the groom goes out to build a place for he and the bride to live in,  this place that he is building is usually a room or dwelling place that would be built on to the father of the grooms house(John 14:1-6).  The time that the bride and groom spend apart is determined by the Father of the groom,  it usually last for one year.  During this time They must stay faithful to one another.
Matan- Is the bride gift,  which is meant to be something for the bride to remember the groom while he is away. Often times the bride gift is something only the bride can use, two coins of nominal value were often time used as a bride gift.  Sometimes rich families would send a trusted servant as a bride gift(John 14:16-17).  The servant sent to the bride also gave the added gift of sending messages and teaching the bride the ways of the groom(John 16:12-15).
Our bride gift is the Holy Spirit.
Mikveh- Is the ritual immersion that the bride and groom take part in separately, it is not bath to get physically clean.  The mikveh represents;

• The womb and the grave
• Life and the afterlife

the ritual is the symbol of metamorphosis or a change from one thing to another.  there must be a "mikveh guide" or "mikveh lady" who hears the profession of love or faith and is a witness that every part of the body has been submerged in water (Matthew 3:13-17).
