Layout of the Tabernacle Seen from AboveBible World

Exodus 27:8

Hollow with boards shalt thou make it: as it was shewed thee in the mount, so shall they make it.

The command forms part of the specifications that Christ gave to Moses for building the tabernacle. It directed that the altar be made hollow with boards, exactly according to what had been shown to Moses in the mount. Both the instruction itself and the skill and wisdom exercised in the work were given by God. They were entrusted to be used for His glory.
