And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount.
The tabernacle was to be reared up exactly according to the fashion shown to Moses in the mount. It was constructed so that it could be taken apart and carried with Israel in all their journeyings, yet it was a structure of extraordinary magnificence. Its walls were upright boards heavily plated with purest gold, and it contained two apartments separated by a rich and beautiful veil, with a similar veil closing the entrance of the first apartment. Those veils, together with the curtain that formed the ceiling, were of various colors most beautifully arranged, with cherubim inwrought with threads of gold and silver to represent the angelic host connected with the work of the heavenly sanctuary and ministering to the saints upon the earth. The design itself and all the skill, wisdom, and ability employed in building it came from God and were to be used for His glory.
