God told Moses to go to the mountain to receive the 10 commandments.
When Moses went up the mountain, a cloud encompassed the mountain, completely hiding it from site.
Moses remained on the mountain for 40 days and nights.
God told Moses that he should fashion a sanctuary for God’s presence.
The sanctuary was to be a place for the Israelites to bring any gifts for God that felt were appropriate.
God then instructed that the sanctuary should be made of acacia wood and oil and spices for annointing.
God’s instructions were exact, from the dimensions of the structure to the gold that was to cover the Tabernacle.
Moses was told that he was to create two gold Cherubim to adorn the cover of the ark.
The testimonies that Moses was to take from God would be put in the ark after each specified time in which God would meet with Moses at the ark to give them.
Finally, God told moses to construct a table, 7-branched menorah and put curtains around the Tabernacle.
