Judah is the tribe from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descend, highlighting a connection to the Messianic line.

The meticulous construction of the Tabernacle foreshadows the perfect obedience of Christ, who fulfilled the Law and the Prophets (<a href="/matthew/5-17.htm">Matthew 5:17</a>). Bezalel's work is a type of Christ's work in building the spiritual house of God, the Church (<a href="/1_peter/2-5.htm">1 Peter 2:5</a>).
