The Israelites had done all the work just as the LORD had commanded Moses
The Israelites
This phrase refers to the descendants of Jacob, also known as Israel, who were chosen by God to be His people. The term "Israelites" emphasizes their identity as a covenant community, set apart for God's purposes. Historically, the Israelites were a nomadic people who had been enslaved in Egypt and were now in the wilderness, journeying towards the Promised Land. Their identity as a people chosen by God is central to their mission and purpose, as they are to be a light to the nations.

had done
The phrase "had done" indicates the completion of a task or command. In the Hebrew context, this reflects the concept of obedience and faithfulness. The Israelites' actions were not merely about physical labor but were acts of worship and devotion to God. Their obedience is a testament to their faith and trust in God's plan and commands.

all the work
This phrase encompasses the entirety of the tasks assigned to the Israelites, specifically the construction of the Tabernacle and its furnishings. The "work" was not just manual labor but a sacred duty, as it involved creating a dwelling place for God's presence among His people. The meticulous nature of the work reflects the holiness and precision required in serving a holy God.

just as
The phrase "just as" underscores the importance of exactness and precision in following God's instructions. It highlights the Israelites' commitment to adhering to the divine blueprint provided to Moses. This obedience is crucial, as it reflects their reverence for God's authority and their desire to honor Him through their actions.

the LORD
The term "the LORD" is a translation of the Hebrew name Yahweh, the covenant name of God. It signifies His eternal, self-existent nature and His faithfulness to His promises. The use of this name in the context of the verse emphasizes God's role as the ultimate authority and the one who guides and directs His people.

had commanded
The word "commanded" indicates a directive from God that requires obedience. In the Hebrew tradition, God's commands are not merely suggestions but are binding and authoritative. The Israelites' adherence to these commands demonstrates their submission to God's will and their recognition of His sovereignty.

Moses
Moses is the central human figure in the Exodus narrative, chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and to receive the Law on Mount Sinai. His role as a mediator between God and the people is crucial, as he conveys God's instructions and ensures their implementation. Moses' leadership is characterized by humility and faithfulness, serving as a model for future leaders in the community of faith.
