“And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.”
All those who were skilled among the workers made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by skilled hands. The construction narrative begins with the innermost layer — the ten curtains of fine linen with cherubim. The execution description uses the same language as the instruction of Exodus 26:1. The craftsmen do not interpret or improve; they replicate with fidelity. The just as the Lord commanded standard that will be repeated throughout the construction narrative is here first evidenced: what was instructed is what is built.
