Moses was careful to inspect the work to see that it was just what God had commanded. (The word commanded

Each aspect of the making of the tabernacle is mentioned in detail because each part was important to God. The smallest wooden peg had to conform to the pattern God gave Moses on the mount. If we expect God to be concerned about the details of our lives, we must pay attention to the details of His instructions.

The construction of the tabernacle involved God’s pattern and man’s provision. The people had plundered the Egyptians (Exodus 12:35–36), and they willingly brought that wealth to the Lord. It was an act of spontaneous generosity and not something that was forced from them (Exodus 35:5, 21–22, 26, 29). Christians today should give in the same way (2 Corinthians 8:1–12).

God gave the plan, and He also gave the workers the wisdom needed to do the job right (Exodus 35:10, 25, 34–35). There is nothing wrong with dedicated artistry, for God built beauty into His tabernacle. God wants skillful hands as well as dedicated hearts (Psalm 78:72).

This book describes Israel’s terrible bondage in Egypt, their supernatural deliverance by God, their journey from the Red Sea to the base of Mt. Sinai as led by Moses, the giving of the Law, the terrible sin of worshipping the golden calf, and the completion of the Tabernacle.
