Summary
Moses convoked the Israelites to build the Tabernacle. Moses started by reminding them of God’s commandment to keep the Sabbath of complete rest. (Exodus 35:1–3.) Then Moses told them to collect gifts of materials from those whose heart so moved them — gifts of gold, silver, copper, colored yarns, fine linen, goats hair, tanned ram skins, acacia wood, olive oil, spices, lapis lazuli, and other stones. (Exodus 35:4–9.) Moses invited all who were skilled to make the Tabernacle, its furnishings, and the priests’ vestments. (Exodus 35:10–19.) The Israelites brought the gifts that Moses requested. (Exodus 35:20–29.) Moses announced that God had singled out Bezalel and Oholiab to endow them with the skills needed to construct the Tabernacle. (Exodus 35:30–35.) And Moses called on them and all skilled persons to undertake the task. (Exodus 36:1–2.) The Israelites brought more than was needed, so Moses proclaimed an end to the collection. (Exodus 36:3–7.) The skilled workers fashioned the Tabernacle. (Exodus 36:8–38.) Bezalel made the ark, cover, table, menorah, incense altar, altar for sacrifices, laver, and enclosure for the Tabernacle. (Exodus 37:1–38:20.)

Famous quotes containing the word summary:
“I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Product of a myriad various minds and contending tongues, compact of obscure and minute association, a language has its own abundant and often recondite laws, in the habitual and summary recognition of which scholarship consists.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
