Moses Inspects the Tabernacle

And so at last the Tabernacle was finished, following all of the Lord's instructions to Moses.

Then they brought the entire Tabernacle to Moses:

Furniture; clasps; frames; bars;
Posts; bases; layers of covering for the roof and sides--the rams' skins dyed red, the specially tanned goat skins, and the entrance drape; the Ark with the Ten Commandments in it;
The carrying poles;
The place of mercy;
The table and all its utensils;
The Bread of the Presence;
The pure gold lampstand with its lamps, utensils, and oil;
The golden altar;
The anointing oil;
The sweet incense;
The curtain-door of the Tabernacle;
The bronze altar;
The bronze grating;
The poles and the utensils;
The washbasin and its base;
The drapes for the walls of the court and the posts holding them up;
The bases and the drapes at the gate of the court;
The cords and nails;
All the utensils used there in the work of the Tabernacle.

They also brought for his inspection the beautifully tailored garments to be worn while ministering in the Holy Place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest and those for his sons, to be worn when on duty.

So the people of Israel followed all the Lord's instructions to Moses. And Moses inspected all their work and blessed them because it was all as the Lord had instructed him.
