Wow.....details, details, details! For being a bunch of abused slaves, these people sure had a lot of gold, silver, and jewels. They must have gotten them before they left when they went to their neighbors and asked for it.
Here is a good point: What can all these ancient, complicated construction details show us today? First, the high quality of the materials making up the tabernacle shows God's greatness and transcendence. Second, the curtain surrounding the Most Holy Place shows God's moral perfection as symbolized by his separation from the common and unclean. Third, the portable nature of the tabernacle shows God's desire to be with his people as they traveled.

This also shows us how God is concerned about the smallest details of our lives, what we do, and the work that we produce. Everything we do should be in honor and glory to Him and there is no detail too small in the world that He doesn't notice or care about.
