Exodus 26:13 The tent curtains will be a cubit longer on both sides; what is left will hang over the sides of the tabernacle so as to cover it.
I am still getting caught up in what feels like nitpickingly specific details, but Commentary says of these verses, “When these four layers of curtains were laid on one another, the result was a very dry and very dark tent. The only light came from the lampstand described in the previous chapter.”
Exodus 26:14 Make for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather.
The reminder, for me, is that God is in all those nitpickingly specific details. He has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. He has promised to collect all our tears in a bottle. He has promised to be with us always. And all those little specificities are part of how He keeps His promise.
Exodus 26:15 “Make upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
Precious Savior, Forgive me when I get frustrated with all the little details. Thank You that You care so much that You leave nothing to chance, that You weave in little “God-winks” to remind us that You are with us always. Amen.
Exodus 26:16-17 Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide, with two projections set parallel to each other. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.
Have a blessed day.
