Exodus 39:43 “And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they have done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.”
Instructions on exactly how to build the tabernacle in the chapters just preceding this verse are amazingly complex. Each of the details are necessary to communicate something about Israel’s magnificent and merciful God. It would not have been acceptable, or indeed permissible, to leave things out or refuse to comply.
The Lord was using these people to teach all of His children, at that moment – and in future generations – about His son. We should be thankful for the obedience displayed here, knowing by experience the joy of salvation. Do we lack attention to detail in regard to God’s commands?
We should notice that the blessing came after detailed and diligent obedience. This is the Lord’s pattern in every age and with every people. God wants the best for us, and He leads accordingly. We need to follow His strict instructions to the letter, not for their own sake, but for the purpose of showing forth the wonder and beauty of Christ.
