The Tabernacle

Bible Reading: Exodus 35:30-35 and 36:1

Key Verse: Verse 35- “Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.”

Key Words: Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart


One of the main subjects in God’s communication to Moses was the Tabernacle.  In contrast to Egypt and other countries where many temples existed, Israel was to have only one place of worship.  For the period of wilderness travel, and also for many years after occupying Palestine, this place was to be a portable sanctuary called the Tabernacle.  God gave Moses the plan for it, which was to be followed exactly since it involved numerous symbolisms of spiritual truth.  Bezaleel of the tribe of Judah and Aholiab of the tribe of Dan, both skilled by special enablement of the Spirit of God, were to lead in the construction.


From the Tabernacle we learn lessons about many things and one of those things is that God has endowed us with specific gifts to serve Him.


The great violinist, Nicolo Paganini, willed his marvelous violin to Genoa -- the city of his birth -- but only on condition that the instrument never be played upon. It was an unfortunate condition, for it is a peculiarity of wood that as long as it is used and handled, it shows little wear. As soon as it is discarded, it begins to decay. The exquisite, mellow-toned violin has become worm-eaten in its beautiful case, valueless except as a relic. The moldering instrument is a reminder that a life withdrawn from all service to others loses its meaning.

What to do:  

God has given you a gift or gifts, use them for His glory.
