You must make the tabernacle
The tabernacle was a portable sanctuary used by the Israelites during their wanderings in the desert. It served as the dwelling place of God among His people. The Hebrew word for tabernacle, "mishkan," means "dwelling place." This command emphasizes the importance of obedience to God's instructions, as the tabernacle was to be constructed precisely as God directed. The tabernacle prefigures Jesus Christ, who "tabernacled" among us (John 1:14), symbolizing God's presence with humanity.

and design all its furnishings
The furnishings of the tabernacle included the Ark of the Covenant, the table for the showbread, the golden lampstand, the altar of incense, and other items. Each piece had specific symbolic meanings and functions, pointing to aspects of worship and the nature of God. For example, the Ark represented God's throne and His covenant with Israel, while the lampstand symbolized the light of God's presence. These furnishings also foreshadowed Christ's work and His role as the light of the world (John 8:12).

according to the pattern I show you.
The pattern given to Moses was a divine blueprint, indicating that the tabernacle was a copy of heavenly realities (Hebrews 8:5). This underscores the idea that earthly worship is a reflection of heavenly worship. The specificity of the pattern highlights the holiness and orderliness of God, requiring precise adherence to His instructions. This pattern also points to the ultimate fulfillment in Christ, who is the true temple (John 2:19-21) and the mediator of a new covenant, bringing believers into the heavenly sanctuary (Hebrews 9:11-12).

Attention to Detail in Worship

Faithfulness in Following God's Plan
The construction of the tabernacle teaches us the importance of adhering to God's guidance in our lives.(9) The pattern.--It has been maintained that God shewed to Moses (1) a material structure, furnished with material objects, as the model which he was to follow in making the Tabernacle and its appurtenances; (2) a pictorial representation of the whole; (3) a series of visions in which the forms were represented to the eye of the mind. The entire analogy of the Divine dealings is in favour of the last-mentioned view.

Verse 9. - The patterns. Many of the old Jewish commentators supposed, that Moses was shown by God a real material structure, which actually existed in the heavens, far grander than its earthly copy, after which he was to have the tabernacle fashioned. Some recent Christian writers, without going these lengths, suggest that "an actual picture or model of the earthly tabernacle and its furniture was shown to him" (Keil). But the words of the text, as well as those of Acts 7:44, and Hebrews 8:5, are sufficiently justified, if we take a view less material than either of these - i.e., if we suppose Moses to have had impressed on his mind, in vision, the exact appearance of the tabernacle and its adjuncts, in such sort that he could both fully understand, and also, when necessary, supplement, the verbal descriptions subsequently given to him. It is unnecessary to inquire how the impression was produced. God who in vision communicated to Ezekiel the entire plan of that magnificent temple which he describes in ch. 40-42, could certainly have made known to Moses, in the same way, the far simpler structure of the primitive Tabernacle.
