Verse 2
Exodus 36:2. And Moses called
Bezaleel — Even those whom God
has qualified for, and inclined
to the service of the
tabernacle, yet must wait for a
call to it, either
extraordinary, as that of
preachers and apostles, or
ordinary, as that of pastors and
teachers. And observe who they
were that Moses called; those in
whose heart God had put wisdom
for this purpose, beyond their
natural capacity, and whose
heart stirred him up to come to
the work in good earnest. Those
are to be called to the building
of the gospel tabernacle, whom
God has by his grace made in
some measure fit for the work,
and free to it: ability and
willingness, with resolution,
are the two things to be
regarded in the call of
ministers.
Verse 35
Exodus 36:35. And he made a veil
— The veil, made for a partition
between the holy place and the
most holy, signified the
darkness and distance of that
dispensation compared with the
New Testament, which shows us
the glory of God more clearly,
and invites us to draw near, to
it; and the darkness and
distance of our present state in
comparison with heaven, where we
shall be ever with the Lord, and
see him as he is.
Verse 37
Exodus 36:37. A hanging — Which
divided the holy place from the
court. |
