See that you make everything
This phrase emphasizes the importance of obedience and precision in following God's instructions. The Hebrew word for "see" is "רָאָה" (ra'ah), which implies not just physical sight but also understanding and perceiving. It suggests a deep awareness and attentiveness to God's commands. In the context of the construction of the Tabernacle, this phrase underscores the necessity of adhering strictly to divine instructions, reflecting the broader biblical theme of obedience to God's will.

according to the pattern
The word "pattern" in Hebrew is "תַּבְנִית" (tabnith), which refers to a model or blueprint. This indicates that God provided Moses with a specific design for the Tabernacle, which was not to be altered. Theologically, this can be seen as a foreshadowing of the heavenly realities, as the earthly Tabernacle was a shadow of the heavenly sanctuary (Hebrews 8:5). The precision of the pattern signifies the perfection and holiness of God, and the need for His people to approach Him in the manner He prescribes.

shown you
The verb "shown" comes from the Hebrew "הֶרְאָה" (her'ah), meaning to reveal or make visible. This implies that the pattern was not a product of human imagination but a divine revelation. It highlights the concept of divine revelation as foundational to the faith, where God discloses His will and purposes to humanity. This revelation to Moses on the mountain signifies the intimate communication between God and His chosen leader, emphasizing the importance of divine guidance in spiritual matters.

on the mountain
The mountain referred to here is Mount Sinai, a place of significant biblical events and divine encounters. Mountains in Scripture often symbolize a place of meeting between God and man, a site of revelation and covenant. Historically and archaeologically, Mount Sinai is considered a sacred location where God delivered the Law to Moses. This setting underscores the gravity and sanctity of the instructions given, as it was on this mountain that God established His covenant with Israel, making it a pivotal moment in the history of God's people.

(40) After their pattern.--Comp, Exodus 25:9.

Verse 40. - Their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount. Compare ver. 9, and the comment ad loc. It would seem from this passage that the "patterns" were shown to Moses first, and the directions as to the making given afterwards.
