Exodus 31: 1-11
The plan and worship of the tabernacle was by divine appointment, only God could give such a plan foreshadowing the redemptive work of His Son. For this work to be accomplished, the Lord called His own workmen by name and filled them with His Spirit. He did this so they could do the work in the manner in which pleases Him. He said, “I have called; I have given; I have filled them with the Spirit of God.” Jehovah selected and qualified the two men to undertake the work. The principal workman was called Bezaleel, the son of Uri, and grandson of Hur of the tribe of Judah. The meaning of Bezaleel’s name is ‘in the shadow of God’. Uri means ‘Light of Jehovah’; and Hur means ‘white’. He was selected by God to fashion a dwelling place for Him and to make a kingdom of priests unto God, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, Bezaleel’s assistant, means ‘tent of my Father’. Ahisamach has the meaning ‘brother of support’. Bezaleel belonged to the tribe of Judah, the leader in the camp of Israel, and Aholiab to the Dan, the last in the camp. Thus we have the first and the last that were selected to do the work. This may be a ‘type’ of the Lord Jesus Christ. The work of the Tabernacle began in Exodus 36:1-38.

Exodus 37:1-9
And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim (acacia) wood; two cubits and a half was the length of it, a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and half the length of it. He overlaid it with pure gold with and without, and made a molding or crown of gold to go around the top of it. He cast four rings of gold for its four corners, two rings on either side. He made poles through the rings at the sides of the ark to carry it. Bezaleel made the mercy seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and the same for the breadth. And he made two cherubim of beaten gold; on the two ends of the mercy seat he made them. One cherubim at one end, and one at the other end; of one piece with mercy seat he made the cherubims at its two ends. And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces to each other, looking down to the mercy seat.

Exodus 37: 10-16
Bezaleel made the showbread table of acacia wood; it was two cubits long, a cubic wide, and a cubit and a half high. He overlaid it with pure gold and made a molding of gold around its top. And he made a border around it just under the top a handbreadth wide and a molding of gold around the border. And he cast for it four rings of gold, and fastened the rings on the four corners that were at its four legs. Close to the border were the rings, the places for the poles to pass through to carry the showbread table. Bezaleel made the poles of acacia wood to carry the showbread table and overlaid them with gold. He made of pure gold the vessels which were to be on the table, its plates, and dishes for bread, its bowls and flagons for pouring liquid sacrifices.

Exodus 37:17-24
And he made the lampstand of pure gold; its base and shaft were made of hammered work; its cups, its knobs, and its flowers were of one piece with it. There were six branches going out of the sides of the lampstand, three branches out of one side of it and three branches out of the other side of it. Three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, each with a calyx knob and a flower, and three cups made like almond Blossoms in the opposite branch, each with a caylx know and a flower and so for the six branches going out of the lampstand. On the shaft of the lampstand were four cups made like almond blossoms, with knobs and flowers one at the top. And a knob under each two branches of one piece with the lampstand, for the six branches going out of it. Their knobs and their branches were of one piece with it; all of it hammered work of pure gold. And he made of pure gold its seven lamp, its snuffers, and its ashtrays. Of a talent of pure gold he made the lampstand and all its utensils.
