The Tabernacle Articles Completed

32 So all the work on the House of the Tent of meeting was done; as the Lord had given orders to Moses, so the children of Israel did it. 33 Then they took the House to Moses, the tent with all the things for it; its hooks, its boards, its rods, its pillars, and its bases; 34 The outer cover of sheepskins coloured red, and the cover of leather, and the veil for the doorway; 35 The ark of the law, with its rods and its cover; 36 The table, with all its vessels and the holy bread; 37 The support for the lights, with the vessels for the lights to be put in their places on it, and all its vessels, and the oil for the lights; 38 And the gold altar, and the holy oil, and the sweet perfume for burning, and the curtain for the doorway of the tent; 39 And the brass altar, with its network of brass, and its rods and all its vessels, and the washing-vessel and its base; 40 The hangings for the open space, with the pillars and their bases, and the curtain for the doorway, and the cords and nails, and all the instruments necessary for the work of the House of the Tent of meeting; 41 The robes for use in the holy place, and the holy robes for Aaron and his sons when acting as priests. 42 The children of Israel did everything as the Lord had given orders to Moses. 43 Then Moses, when he saw all their work and saw that they had done everything as the Lord had said, gave them his blessing.

Commentary on Exodus 39:32-43

(Read Exodus 39:32-43)

The tabernacle was a type or emblem of Jesus Christ. As the Most High dwelt visibly within the sanctuary, even on the ark, so did he reside in the human nature and tabernacle of his dear Son; in Christ dwelt all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, Revelation 21:3. What, then, will be the splendour of His appearance, when the cloud shall be withdrawn, and his faithful worshippers shall see him as he is!
