“The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,”
They are to make everything I have commanded you: the tent of meeting, the ark of the Testimony with the atonement cover on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent. The summary encompasses every element described in Exodus 25–30. The everything I have commanded you is the standard against which the construction will be measured when Moses inspects the work in Exodus 39–40. Hebrews 8:5 says the earthly sanctuary is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven — the craftsmen who receive this commission are the human agents of the divine architectural vision whose original exists in the heavenly realm.
