Exodus 37-40
Those words epitomize the actions of the Israelites in the last chapters of Exodus. The Israelites ponied up more than a ton of gold and several tons of silver and bronze from their personal stores to make the Ark of the Covenant and other tabernacle furnishings. Throughout the process, the Israelites were keenly focused on doing just as the Lord had commanded... and as a result, the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
It wasn't always that way with the Israelites, but for this moment, they were united in earnestly seeking after God's will and doing just as the Lord had commanded. There is a lesson in their obedience for us even today. The Lord had given Moses very explicit instructions as to how to build his future home... if we wish for God to take up residence in our sanctuary, we also must obediently do just as the Lord has commanded.
