What happensPermalink
God appoints Bezalel and Oholiab as master craftsmen to oversee the construction of the tabernacle, the instruments, and the courtyard. God repeats the commandment to keep the Sabbath as a sign of the covenant.
Why it mattersPermalink
God provides strict requirements for the tabernacle, but He also satisfies those requirements. The Sabbath is a very visible covenant sign that distinguishes Israel from its neighbors not occasionally but every week.
Key versePermalink
“It is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel that in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.”
