Exodus 36 - 38 (11th Feb)

Exodus 36

Again Bezalel and Oholiab were mentioned. In chapter 31, it was an instruction from the Lord to Moses about both of their roles. And so now in this chapter, it talks about both of them doing their roles in building the Tabernacle.

Exodus 37 & 38

From Chapter 25 to 30 was God instruction to Moses how to build the tabernacle. In these 2 chapters, it mentioned how the craftsmen made the tabernacle. Read and you will find a lot of times it repeated the word “They made”. They were building the tabernacle according to the instruction given from god to Moses from Chapter 25 to 30. But from Chapter 38:21 onwards, there is a slight turn. It talks about the amount of material used to build the whole temple. Look at it. It is really an expensive sanctuary, the Tent of Meeting and it sure took a lot of very gifted and skillful people to build them.

Thank God that we have the freedom to worship the Lord anywhere that Jesus has torn the curtain and we have the access into the Holy Place to worship Him. Praise the Lord.
