Book ◦ Chapter

So all the work for the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, was completed.
This phrase marks the culmination of a significant project that began with God's detailed instructions to Moses on Mount Sinai (Exodus 25-31). The tabernacle, also known as the Tent of Meeting, served as the central place of worship and the dwelling place of God's presence among the Israelites during their wilderness journey. The completion signifies obedience and dedication to God's commands, reflecting the importance of following divine instructions precisely. The tabernacle's construction involved skilled artisans and the use of precious materials, symbolizing the value and holiness of God's dwelling place. This completion also prefigures the ultimate dwelling of God with humanity through Jesus Christ, who "tabernacled" among us (John 1:14).

The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
This phrase emphasizes the faithfulness and obedience of the Israelites in executing God's commands. It highlights the importance of adhering to divine instructions without deviation, a theme prevalent throughout the Pentateuch. The Israelites' obedience here contrasts with their earlier disobedience, such as the incident with the golden calf (Exodus 32). This obedience is a model for believers, illustrating the blessings and presence of God that follow when His people live according to His will. The phrase also underscores Moses' role as a faithful mediator between God and the people, a type of Christ who perfectly fulfills the Father's will (John 6:38).

What Does Exodus 39:32 Mean

So all the work for the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, was completed

- After months of collecting offerings (Exodus 35:21-29) and crafting every article from the ark to the priestly garments (Exodus 36-39), the construction phase comes to a decisive close. “Thus Moses finished the work” (Exodus 40:33) echoes this completion.

- The word “all” underscores that nothing was left half-done. Just as creation was finished on the sixth day (Genesis 2:1-3), the Tabernacle—a microcosm of God’s ordered world—now stands ready for His presence.

- Completion means readiness for divine fellowship: “There I will meet with the Israelites” (Exodus 29:43). Until everything was finished, God’s glory could not fill the sanctuary (Exodus 40:34-35).

- The title “Tent of Meeting” reminds us that the project’s purpose is not aesthetic but relational. Every board, curtain, and clasp points to a God who desires to dwell among His people (Exodus 25:8).

The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses

- Obedience is highlighted eight times in this chapter (e.g.,Exodus 39:1, 5, 7). Repetition drives home that the people followed the exact pattern revealed on Sinai (Exodus 25:40).

- Their obedience is comprehensive—covering craftsmanship (Exodus 35:30-35), sacrificial offerings (Exodus 38:24-31), and even the garments “woven with skill” (Exodus 28:3).

- God’s commands came through Moses; the people’s willingness to submit to that leadership models healthy spiritual order (Hebrews 13:17).

- This verse anticipates the divine inspection: “Moses inspected the work and saw that they had done it just as the LORD had commanded—so Moses blessed them” (Exodus 39:43). Obedience brings blessing and the assurance of God’s approval.

- The phrase “did everything” sets a benchmark that later generations too often failed to meet (Judges 2:17;2 Kings 17:7-12). Here, however, the nation shines in wholehearted compliance.

summary

Exodus 39:32 celebrates a finished sanctuary and a faithful people. The completed Tabernacle signals that God now has a holy dwelling among Israel, while the people’s meticulous obedience shows hearts aligned with His will. When work is done God’s way, God comes to dwell, bless, and lead His people forward.

Pulpit Commentary

Verses 32-43. - Everything was brought to Moses for his approval - not perhaps all things at once, but each as it was finished - and was judged by him "according to the pattern which he had seen upon the mount' (Exodus 25:40;Exodus 26:30, etc.).. The order observed in the enumeration is nearly, but not quite, the order in which it has been stated that the various things were made. We must suppose that if Moses disapproved of anything, it was rejected; but no disapproval is mentioned.Moses did look upon all the work, and behold, they had done it as the Lord commanded.. Accordingly Moses concluded all by "blessing" them; thereby signifying, not his own approval only, but the Divine approval, of their diligence and obedience.
