I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Exodus 36-38.

    I am not sure why the Bible contains both the earlier description of the plans God gave Moses for building the Tabernacle and the somewhat more detailed description of what was actually built. I have never taken the time to compare the two in detail to see if there are elements of the plans which could have been interpreted differently when it came time to build, so it is possible that is the reason for the two descriptions. Every time I read this I am struck by the fact that the craftsmen who were building the Tabernacle had to ask Moses to tell the people to stop bringing donations of materials for the Tabernacle.
