And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
Exodus 39:24 belongs to the second division of Exodus, chapters 19-40, and specifically to the final chapters that record the preparation, fitting, building and setting up of the Tabernacle. Those final chapters are counted as chapters 35-40, and also described as chapters 33-40. This building account came immediately after the events of Exodus 19 to 32 and after the sanctuary instruction given to Moses in the mount in Exodus 25 to 31, carrying out those directions in Exodus 25 through the end of the book. The Tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month of the second year from the Exodus.
The verse is part of the account showing how the tabernacle with the ark and all its furniture, equipment, furnishings and garments was made just as God directed. It records that the Lord's directions were explicitly carried out. When the work was completed, blessing and glory came down upon the congregation and the building. The description is consistent with the fine linen and skilled craftsmanship known in the ancient world.
The verse concerns the marvelously beautiful sanctuary structure God asked Israel to make after leading them out of Egypt and delivering them from Egyptian bondage so He might dwell among them. He asked this in order to reveal His great love more fully. It was built from free-will offerings of the children of Israel by workmen specially endowed by God according to the divine pattern given to Moses in the mount. It continued the unfolding plan of redemption previously shown from Eden to the Exodus in the simple service of offering a lamb for sin upon an altar of rough stones with the father of each family acting as priest and mediator between his family and God.
The verse falls within the laws given through Moses, which include ceremonial laws and types as well as moral laws. Its prescribed construction and furnishings made the earthly sanctuary a divinely directed type and shadow of heavenly things. From these shadows the substance of the new dispensation can be traced. The sanctuary and its ceremonies served as a great, multiple object-lesson by various forms and rites pointing to Christ and His power to forgive sin, transform character, and deliver His people. They taught the great plan of salvation and the character God required because centuries of slavery had unfitted Israel to comprehend it. The sanctuary structure, furnishings, patterns and two kinds of service for the errors of the people must be studied in detail.
