42 The Israelites had done all the work just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 43 Moses inspected the work and saw that they had done it just as the Lord had commanded. So Moses blessed them.
I'm struck by a couple of things in this reading. First, the Israelites were in their phase where they were following God's plan. It feels like its only a short matter of time until they get disgruntled and will do their own thing again.
The second is that I need to keep reminding my self that all of this stuff that was built for the temple.....was not permanent. In other words, the people were nomadic. Its not like this was building. It was a tent! They had to pick all this stuff up and move it periodically. All of this gold encrusted, jeweled, ornate stuff. It had to move relatively quickly.
Crazy to think about. I get upset when Kim packs her suitcase too heavy.
