THE MATERIAL

As we have already said, these materials are listed some seven times for us, all of them earthly and some of them very costly. We may well ask where the tremendous amount of rich materials came from, the blue, gold, scarlet, jewels, skins, etc., and we are told that when they emerged from Egypt they were commanded by God to ask and receive them from the Egyptians. There was no dishonesty about this, for the whole nation had worked hard in Egypt and deserved payment for their years of labour. As it turned out, the Egyptians were only too glad to pay them off in the end, and to get them out of the way. So the rich material, the precious metals and the gems all represented the fruit of their hard labours in Egypt. It may even have been that some of the skins and goats' hair came from work actually done in the wilderness, but in any case it was their work which provided the stuff from which the tabernacle was made.
