The Nation Israel Delivered and Organized
III. ISRAEL AT SINAI, Exodus 19:1-40:38
Construction and Erection of the Tabernacle, Exodus 35:1-40:38
Making the Tabernacle is described in Exodus 36:9 to Exodus 39:43
72. What made all the work of the Tabernacle so excellent?
The Israelites did all the work according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses. Moses [carefully] inspected all the work, and behold, they had done it; just as the LORD had commanded, so had they done it. So Moses blessed them.
73. When and how was the Tabernacle to be erected?
THE TABERNACLE ERECTED
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
“On the first day of the first month (Abib) you shall set up the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting [of God with you].
You shall place the ark of the Testimony there, and you shall screen off the ark [from the Holy Place of God’s Presence] with the veil (partition curtain). [Heb_10:19-23]
You shall bring in the table [for the bread] and arrange its setting; you shall bring in the lampstand and mount and light its lamps. [Rev_21:23-25]
You shall set the golden altar of incense in front of the ark of the Testimony [outside the veil], and put the [hanging] veil at the doorway of the tabernacle.
You shall set the [bronze] altar of burnt offering in front of the doorway of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.
You shall set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar [of burnt offering], and put water in it.
You shall set up the courtyard [curtains] all around and hang up the screen (curtain) for the gateway of the courtyard.
Then you shall take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and consecrate it and all its furniture; and it shall be holy (declared sacred, separated from secular use).
You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.
You shall anoint the basin and its base, and consecrate it.
Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the doorway of the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water. [Joh_17:17-19]
You shall put the holy garments on Aaron and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may serve as a priest to Me.
You shall bring his sons and put tunics on them;
you shall anoint them just as you anointed their father, so that they may serve as priests to Me; and their anointing shall qualify them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.”
Thus Moses did; in accordance with all that the LORD commanded him, so he did.

DIRECTIONS FOR ERECTING THE TABERNACLE
On the new year’s day of the second year of the exodus Moses was bidden to rear up the Tabernacle, and with his own hand to place each article in its specified position. With what joy must those commands have fallen on His ears! We are reminded of the words of Robert Moffat, when he was completing the translation of the entire Bible into the language of the Botswana: “When I had finished the last verse I could hardly believe that I was in the world. My emotions found vent by my falling on my knees and thanking God for His grace and goodness in giving me strength to accomplish my task.” Under similar circumstances Dr. Paton says that he pitched his bat into the air and danced round and round his printing-press. Let us build our life, piece by piece, in the same spirit-not with wood, hay and stubble, but with gold, silver and precious stones-so that at the close we may be able to say, “I have glorified Thee on the earth: I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do.”
