Week 4. Day 5. Exodus 35-40.

Much of this section is instructions on the construction of the tabernacle. There is much here that repeats from earlier in the book where God gave the instructions for the tabernacle. Feel free to skim these chapters and not get lost in the details – but look out for the key phrase: ‘just as the LORD commanded’. Also remind yourself of why the tabernacle is being made – see Ex 29:45-46; c.f. Ex 25:8

Ex 40:34-38 is the climax of the book, recounting the Glory of the Lord filling the tabernacle
