📍 Core Content of Exodus 39

Chapter 39 meticulously records, step by step, the process of making the sacred garments for the priests. And each time a task was completed, the same record appears repeatedly: "as the Lord had commanded Moses."

Was it because making each piece of the sacred garments required work that was beyond human capacity alone? Or was it because it was a task possible only for those filled with the Spirit of God?

No fewer than 7 to 8 times (verses 5, 7, 21, 26, 29, 31, 32, 43).

🔎 Why is this record repeated so many times — not once or twice, but over and over again? Such repetition is without precedent.

• "They did as the Lord had commanded Moses."

Looking carefully at this phrase, it seems two meanings are embedded within it:

→ One is that all the work was carried out exactly as the Lord had commanded Moses. → The other is that it was the Lord Himself who did it. (And this second meaning feels more certain.)

➡️ The record that should have been written as "Moses did as the Lord commanded" is, on the contrary, written in reverse. 

"They did as the Lord had commanded Moses" — meaning it was God who did it. (This was the hidden treasure.)

😀 It seems God recorded the same content many times and left there a question to be discovered: "What could this mean?"

Could this not be yet another revelation of the "God of wit and wisdom"? ^^

📍 Core Content of Exodus 40

Verse 2 of chapter 40 records the time when the tabernacle was set up. And in greater detail, verse 17:

→ "On the first day of the first month of the second year, the tabernacle was erected."

➡️ It was the first day of the new year — exactly one year after leaving Egypt.

😀 God, who does everything with perfect precision, surely had an intention in recording even the time so exactly. But at the same time, it is simply incomprehensible that within such a short period, the people of Israel witnessed tremendous miracles and yet still fell into all manner of complaints and wrongdoing.

When all the work was finished:

• "The cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle."
• "Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting."

The fact that Moses could not enter means:

• It is proof that God's presence had come down.
• It aligns perfectly with the word that says no one can see God and live.

✝️ Closing Words

"For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys." (Exodus — final verse)

This final verse offers several lessons:

"The Lord God" → one must understand the meaning of "God the Lord" A God to be feared → yet within that, "the God who protects" And the fact that all the house of Israel saw it with their own eyes... (Could this have been a prophetic record directed at the people who would disbelieve even so?)
