Exodus 31, 35-39

Throughout Exodus, we have seen God’s pattern of promise and fulfillment. First, He says what He will do, then He performs that action. A prominent example is found in Exodus 3:19-20 when He promises He will compel the king of Egypt to let the people of Israel go, by performing signs
and wonders among the Egyptians. He fulfills this in Exodus 7-12 by bringing ten plagues on the Egyptians. In this passage, we see God interact with His people, following a similar pattern—this time, of command and obedience. God has commanded Moses to build the tabernacle according to His direction. We now see Israel obey God and carry out His plan. As a result, God blesses His people.
