Exodus 25:9

EXODUS—NOTE ON Exodus 25:9 Israel is to follow the pattern for building the sanctuary exactly as the Lord shows Moses (also v. Exodus 25:40; Exodus 26:30; Exodus 27:8). Obedience to God’s commands will show that the people fear him. Obedience to every detail is important because the structure itself will teach the people what it means to have a holy God dwell among them.
