The Skilled Craftsmen

The skilled workers are summoned to make everything the LORD commanded, and Moses lists the structure, furnishings, courtyard, and garments in order. The long inventory gives the coming work its full shape.

L¹⁰et every skilled craftsman among you come and make everything that the LORD has commanded: ¹¹the tabernacle with its tent and covering, its clasps and frames, its crossbars, posts, and bases; ¹²the ark with its poles and mercy seat, and the veil to shield it; ¹³the table with its poles, all its utensils, and the Bread of the Presence; ¹⁴the lampstand for light with its accessories and lamps and oil for the light; ¹⁵the altar of incense with its poles; ¹⁶the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grate, its poles, and all its utensils; ¹⁷the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the gate of the courtyard; ¹⁸the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the courtyard, along with their ropes; ¹⁹and the woven garments for ministering in the holy place— both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.”
