EXODUS 39:43 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the Lord had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.”
Moses inspected the work and saw that they had done it just as the Lord had commanded. So Moses blessed them. Moses inspects and the inspection confirms: just as the Lord commanded. The inspection echoes God's evaluation of creation in Genesis 1 — and it is good. The tabernacle that Moses inspects matches the heavenly pattern shown on the mountain. The blessing that follows the inspection is the blessing of completed work. Matthew 25:21 records the master saying well done, good and faithful servant — Moses' blessing of the community for faithful execution is the Old Testament version of the master's commendation.
