Then they brought
This phrase signifies the completion of a significant task. The Hebrew root for "brought" is "בּוֹא" (bo), which means to come or to bring. This action of bringing the tabernacle to Moses symbolizes obedience and fulfillment of God's commands. It reflects the Israelites' dedication and commitment to following divine instructions, a theme that resonates throughout the Bible as a call to faithfulness and diligence in serving God.

the tabernacle
The tabernacle, or "מִשְׁכָּן" (mishkan) in Hebrew, was a portable sanctuary that served as the dwelling place of God among the Israelites. Its construction was a divine mandate, representing God's desire to dwell with His people. The tabernacle prefigures the coming of Christ, who "tabernacled" among us (John 1:14), and serves as a reminder of God's presence and holiness.

to Moses
Moses, the leader and prophet, was chosen by God to guide the Israelites. His role as mediator between God and the people is crucial. Bringing the tabernacle to Moses signifies the completion of a divine mission and the readiness for God's presence to dwell among them. Moses' leadership and faithfulness are exemplary, reminding believers of the importance of godly leadership and obedience to God's call.

the tent
The "tent" refers to the outer covering of the tabernacle, made of fine linen and other materials. In Hebrew, "אֹהֶל" (ohel) signifies a temporary dwelling, emphasizing the transient nature of the Israelites' journey and the impermanence of earthly life. It points to the greater reality of a heavenly dwelling, as believers are called to live as sojourners on earth, looking forward to an eternal home with God.

with all its furnishings
The furnishings of the tabernacle included the Ark of the Covenant, the table, the lampstand, and the altar, each with specific symbolic meanings. These items were crafted with precision and care, reflecting the beauty and order of God's creation. They serve as a reminder of the detailed instructions God gives for worship and the importance of approaching Him with reverence and awe.

its clasps
Clasps, or "קֶרֶס" (qeres) in Hebrew, were used to hold the curtains of the tabernacle together. They symbolize unity and cohesion, essential qualities for the community of believers. Just as the clasps held the tabernacle together, so too should love and unity bind the church, the body of Christ, together in faith and purpose.

its frames
The frames, or "קֶרֶשׁ" (qeresh), provided structure and support for the tabernacle. They represent the strength and stability found in God's Word and His promises. Believers are called to build their lives on the solid foundation of Scripture, ensuring that their faith remains steadfast amidst the trials of life.

its crossbars
Crossbars, or "בְּרִיחַ" (beriach), were used to reinforce the structure of the tabernacle. They signify the support and strength that come from fellowship and community within the body of Christ. Just as the crossbars provided stability, so too does the encouragement and accountability of fellow believers strengthen one's faith journey.

and its posts and bases
The posts and bases, or "עַמּוּד" (amud) and "אֶדֶן" (eden), were foundational elements of the tabernacle's construction. They highlight the importance of a firm foundation in one's spiritual life. The posts and bases remind believers of the need to be rooted in Christ, the cornerstone, and to build their lives on His teachings and truth.

THE PRESENTATION OF THE WORK TO MOSES, AND HIS APPROVAL OF IT.

(33-43) It is probable that the various parts of the work were presented to Moses for inspection as they were completed; that if they did not satisfy him, they might be altered and amended at once. Moses alone had seen "the pattern in the mount," and Moses alone could say if the work came up to the required standard. We are not told that anything was rejected; and it is quite possible that all the portions of the work were satisfactorily rendered at their first essay by the several workmen; for the workmen, it must be remembered, besides receiving instructions from Moses, were divinely assisted in the production of their several works (Exo. 36:42).
