vv.8-9 - and let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst. Exactly as I show you concerning the patterns of the tabernacle, and of all its furniture, so shall you make it.
If God said I wanted to meet with you and this is the way that it should be, don't you think we would do it. His presence is going to be dwelling among His people and He wants it exactly, not just for His glory but for their protection. That is why the next week of reading will seem very detailed and repeated. But He is very serious about this and thus because He loves them and cares, He is being very direct. Just take that approach as you read. He wanted to dwell among His people. Fast forward many years later and He would come to dwell among His people, but this time in human flesh. What a story! What a God! We no longer have to go to a tabernacle because we are the tabernacle. He dwells in us today. Amen.
