In the ancient Near East, craftsmanship was highly valued, and artisans were often trained from a young age. The call for skilled craftsmen underscores the need for excellence and precision in the work of God. This also reflects the biblical principle that God equips individuals with specific talents and skills for His purposes, as seen in the gifting of Bezalel and Oholiab (<a href="/exodus/31.htm">Exodus 31:1-6</a>).<p><b>come and make</b><br>The invitation to "come and make" indicates active participation and willingness. It suggests that God desires voluntary service from His people, not coerced labor. This mirrors the New Testament teaching of serving God with a willing heart (<a href="/2_corinthians/9-7.htm">2 Corinthians 9:7</a>). The act of making or creating is a reflection of God's own creative nature, as humans are made in His image (<a href="/genesis/1-27.htm">Genesis 1:27</a>).<p><b>everything that the LORD has commanded:</b><br>This phrase emphasizes obedience to God's specific instructions. The construction of the Tabernacle was not left to human imagination but was to follow the divine blueprint given to Moses on Mount Sinai (<a href="/exodus/25-9.htm">Exodus 25:9</a>). This obedience to God's command is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, highlighting the importance of following God's will precisely. The Tabernacle itself is a type of Christ, as it was the dwelling place of God's presence among His people, foreshadowing Jesus as Immanuel, "God with us" (<a href="/matthew/1-23.htm">Matthew 1:23</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who conveyed God's instructions to the people regarding the construction of the Tabernacle.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/s/skilled_craftsmen.htm">Skilled Craftsmen</a></b><br>Individuals among the Israelites endowed with specific skills and talents necessary for the construction of the Tabernacle.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable sanctuary that the Israelites built according to God's instructions, serving as a place of worship and the dwelling place of God's presence among His people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who were called to contribute their skills and resources for the construction of the Tabernacle.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The God of Israel, who commanded the construction of the Tabernacle and provided the design and instructions for its completion.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_call_to_service.htm">God's Call to Service</a></b><br>God calls each of us to use our unique skills and talents for His purposes.
