Exodus 36

Commentary

Exodus 36 is a chapter that speaks to the generosity of the Israelites in providing for the building of the tabernacle. The Lord had commanded Moses to have the people of Israel provide for the building of the tabernacle, and the people responded with great enthusiasm. They brought so much material that Moses had to tell them to stop bringing more. This speaks to the faithfulness of the Israelites in following the Lord's commands. The chapter also speaks to the skill of the craftsmen who were chosen to build the tabernacle. Bezalel and Oholiab were chosen by the Lord to lead the construction of the tabernacle, and they were given the ability to craft the items needed for the tabernacle. This speaks to the Lord's faith in these two men to be able to complete the task. Exodus 36 is a chapter that speaks to the faithfulness of the Israelites in following the Lord's commands, and the skill of the craftsmen chosen to build the tabernacle. It is a reminder of the importance of obedience to the Lord and the importance of having skilled craftsmen to complete the task.
