I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Exodus 36-38.

Moses told the people that several craftsmen had been specially gifted by God with the skills needed to build the Tabernacle.  The people donated the materials necessary for building the Tabernacle.  I will note that the people gave so much that the craftsmen building to Tabernacle had to ask Moses to tell the people not to give any more.  The craftsmen who built the Tabernacle constructed the various parts of it to be easily put together and taken down.  In addition, when taken down the parts were designed for ease of transport.  While the Book of Exodus tells us that the design of the Tabernacle was given to Moses from God, it seems to also tell us that the craftsmen were responsible for designing the supports and curtains to be easily assembled and easily transported.
