I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading. I had been using One Year Bible Online, but it was time for a change.

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

    As I read the description of the work which Bezalel, and his assistants, did to build the Tabernacle and its furnishings it strikes me that they were skilled in many areas. There were those who could sew, those who were woodworkers and metalworkers. I know that I fail to give this passage the full appreciation it deserves. As I read it my eyes begin to glaze over at the detail given. This is not because the detail serves no purpose. Rather it happens because only a few verses in I realize that I so lack the skill to replicate this work that I cannot even visualize the Tabernacle in its true glory. I would love to see someone build a replica of the Tabernacle as described here, but I know that I do not have the skills to make something that bears even a faint resemblance to what is described.
