Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was finished, and the people of Israel did according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses; so they did. Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its utensils, its hooks, its frames, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; the covering of tanned rams’ skins and goatskins, and the veil of the screen; the ark of the testimony with its poles and the mercy seat; the table with all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence; the lampstand of pure gold and its lamps with the lamps set and all its utensils, and the oil for the light; the golden altar, the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the screen for the entrance of the tent; the bronze altar, and its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin and its stand; the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its bases, and the screen for the gate of the court, its cords, and its pegs; and all the utensils for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting; the finely worked garments for ministering in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons for their service as priests. According to all that the LORD had commanded Moses, so the people of Israel had done all the work. And Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it; as the LORD had commanded, so had they done it. Then Moses blessed them.
Comment: We may wonder how long the Israelites stayed at Mt Sinai before they set out on the journey for Canaan. It was about 11 months. So this whole work for the preparation of the tabernacle took the time which we would expect for a committed hard working people! But can you imagine the joy and immense pride with which they brought all the required articles to Moses? There is joy and pride in a job well done! ‘Then Moses blessed them.‘ How much we all appreciate hearing ‘Well done and thanks’. Let us say it loudly when in truth it is deserved!
Proverbs 10:4 “The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.”
Prayer: Thank You,Father, for the finished Work of Jesus on the Cross.
As I read it!
