V.1-3 Notice the emphasis on the Sabbath the day of rest — not even to kindle a fire — a picture of our eternal rest in Christ’s finished work. We aren’t to try to add anything to His completed work. The fire of judgment fell on Him.
V.4-19 First the “willing” hearts needed to provide the materials (v. 5) then the “wise” hearts to build the pieces of the tabernacle (v. 10). We need to be willing, God provides the wisdom.
V.20-35 Firstly, the people willingly brought the materials with which to build the tabernacle.
V.20-29 When we have learned the forgiveness of our sins and seen a little God’s wonderful grace for us, these verses show the kind of response that comes from the heart.
V.30-35 “to work ... to teach”. Are we willing to be taught by those who have learned from God? (See 2 Tim. 2:1-2).
