So you are to set up
This phrase indicates a direct command from God to Moses, emphasizing the importance of obedience and precision in following divine instructions. The Hebrew root for "set up" is "qum," which means to establish or erect. This reflects the necessity for Moses to not only physically construct the tabernacle but also to ensure it stands as a testament to God's presence and order. The act of setting up the tabernacle is a sacred duty, symbolizing the establishment of a holy space where God would dwell among His people.

the tabernacle
The tabernacle, or "mishkan" in Hebrew, means "dwelling place." It was a portable sanctuary that served as the physical manifestation of God's presence with the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness. The tabernacle was central to Israelite worship and community life, symbolizing God's desire to dwell among His people. Its construction and design were divinely ordained, reflecting heavenly realities and foreshadowing the coming of Christ, who would "tabernacle" among us (John 1:14).

according to the pattern
The word "pattern" in Hebrew is "tabnith," which implies a blueprint or model. This indicates that the tabernacle was not a product of human creativity but a divine design revealed to Moses. The pattern serves as a reminder that worship and the approach to God must be on His terms, not ours. It underscores the importance of adhering to God's instructions in all aspects of life and worship, ensuring that our practices align with His will.

shown you
This phrase highlights the revelatory nature of God's communication with Moses. The Hebrew word "ra'ah" means to see or perceive, suggesting that Moses was given a vision or insight into the heavenly design of the tabernacle. This divine revelation underscores the unique relationship between God and Moses, as well as the responsibility Moses bore in conveying God's instructions to the people. It also serves as a reminder that true understanding and wisdom come from God.

on the mountain
The mountain refers to Mount Sinai, a place of divine encounter and revelation. It was here that Moses received the Law and the instructions for the tabernacle. Mountains in Scripture often symbolize closeness to God and are places where significant spiritual events occur. The mention of the mountain emphasizes the sacredness of the instructions given to Moses and the importance of the tabernacle as a means of maintaining the covenant relationship between God and Israel. It serves as a reminder of the holiness and majesty of God, who calls His people to ascend to higher spiritual heights.

(30) According to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee.--See Exodus 25:9; Exodus 25:40. However minute--even tediously minute--the description, there would necessarily have been a multitude of particulars, not to be described in words, where Moses would have to be guided by the pattern that he had seen.

Verse 30. - According to the fashion. Where the description was incomplete (and it could not but be incomplete in many points), Moses was to follow his recollection of the "pattern," which either in vision, or otherwise - he had seen in the mount This would be his best guide, for

"Segnius irritant animum demissa per aures,
Quam quae sunt oculis subjecta fidelibus."
