The tabernacle with its tent and its covering, its clasps, frames, crossbars, posts and bases. The comprehensive list of what the skilled workers are to make begins with the structural elements. Every component is enumerated. The comprehensiveness of the commission ensures that no element is assumed to be someone else's responsibility. The total construction is the responsibility of the total community of skilled workers. Hebrews 8:5 says the craftsmen build a copy and shadow of what is in heaven — the commission to build everything exactly as specified is the commission to accurately represent a heavenly reality.
