Making The LORD’s Sanctuary

Exodus 36:1-38

December 24, 2021 • Arthur Bailey • Exodus 36

The first time Moses was summoned up the mountain for forty days and nights, YeHoVaH told Moses to have the Children of Israel, “Make Me a Sanctuary that I may dwell among them.” YeHoVaH instructed Moses to tell the Israelites to bring Him an offering. Moses was told to receive the offering for YeHoVaH from each person whose heart prompted them to give. YeHoVaH was very specific in His Instructions of what Moses was to receive from them, and that Moses was to make the Tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern He would show him.

Several Chapters later, after many more Instructions, a series of events involving a golden calf, the killing of three thousand souls, a second forty days and nights in the mountain with YeHoVaH without food or drink, Moses gives the Instructions to the people to bring the required offerings for Making The LORD’s Sanctuary.

In this portion of Exodus, we are taken inside the Israelites’ Camp to witness the giving of the Instructions, the activities, the involvement of the people whose hearts prompted them to respond to the request Moses was instructed to give them, and the commencement of the work of Making The LORD’s Sanctuary.

In preparation for this study of Making The LORD’s Sanctuary, please read Exodus 36:1-38.
