In | Creation and the Construction of the Tabernacle
As we suggested, there are a number of textual parallels between the story of creation and the construction of the Tabernacle. Here are a few of them:
The work is completed.
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed.
Genesis 2:1 (NIV)
So all the work on the Tabernacle, the tent of meeting, was completed.
Exodus 39:32 (NIV)
The work is inspected and approved.
God saw all that He had made, and it was very good.
Genesis 1:31 (NIV)
Moses inspected the work and saw that they had done it just as the Lord had commanded.
Exodus 39:43 (NIV)
Again, the work is finished.
By the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing.
Genesis 2:2 (NIV)
And so Moses finished the work.
Exodus 40:33 (NIV)
And there is a blessing.
Then God blessed the seventh day.
Genesis 2:3 (NIV)
So Moses blessed them.
Exodus 39:43 (NIV)
These parallels reinforce the idea that God is committed to starting again with Israel. What He began with creation, He intends to finish through them.
