35:1–40:38 Tabernacle: Preparation for the Presence. The final section of Exodus describes the construction of the tabernacle, which is then filled by the glory of the Lord (40:34–38). The tabernacle is the visible guarantee of God’s continuing presence with and care for Israel.
Ex. 35:5–19 The lists of the materials needed (vv. 5–9; see 25:3–7) and the objects to be built (35:10–19) assume that the people already know the basic plan for the tabernacle (see 34:32).
Ex. 35:10 Moses called for material contributions for the tabernacle (vv. 5–9) and also for every skillful craftsman (see vv. 25–26; 36:1).
Ex. 35:20–29 The abundance of materials given for the tabernacle showed the people’s willingness of heart (vv. 21–22, 26, 29).
Ex. 35:30–36:1 Just as the Lord enabled his people to contribute the materials needed for the sanctuary (see 25:1–9), he gave some of them the skills to build it.
Ex. 35:31 he has filled him with the Spirit of God. See 31:3–5 and note.
