Doing all the work: as the LORD commanded

Sunday 09Jan2022

In my Old Testament reading this afternoon, I observed in Exodus chapter 39 that the children of Israel carried out ALL the work of building the Tabernacle and the Tent of Meeting according to ALL that YeHoVaH commanded Moses (Exodus 39:32). Moses inspected ALL the work and saw that they had done it as YeHoVaH had commanded (Exodus 39:43).
