Fiveamprayer, Yahweh desires to dwell among His people. Moses received the plan for the tabernacle, while he was on mount Sinai. This is where He shows the house to the house. The children of Israel were to bring offerings willingly for the construction of the tabernacle--these are to be their contributions or portion according to their hearts. This chapter in Exodus gives the various items to be brought for the offering and the construction of the tabernacle.
We have to understand where did they get this offering from? When they left out of Egypt, they were to ask for gold, silver and various valuable items. Due to the favor that Yahweh gave the people, the Egyptians gave them a overflow and excess of goods. We too must remember and recall that all that we have is by His hand and freely we are to give. Give how much? We are to give in offerings according to our hearts.
These elements of goods taken from Egypt were not for the mere collection of treasures but to be used in the place of dwelling of Yahweh. He is taking the common and simple and elevating them to His higher purpose. The construction of the tabernacle of Yahweh--the connection of offerings and our hearts. What is our true motive? Whether we give much or little--what is in our hearts? To hear more on this portion click here.
