God gave laws to his people to guide their behavior; in this lesson, God gave them what they needed most next —a place of public worshop. Human experience has proven that unless stated times and places are set aside for worship, men soon neglect to worship God altogether. In dealing with a primitive people having practically spiritual background* upon whom rested the responsibility of establishing forms of worship. God had to outline in detail how worship was to be conducted and what worshiping God really meant.

The Israelites had demanded and gotten jewelry of silver and gold from the Egyptians when they left, in payment ! for their years of servitude. Signet rings could be pressed on a document to serve as a signature. Tablets were bracelets for the upper arms. The Israelites give their finest gifts as a'thankoffering. Vs. 23, 24. “And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats hair’, and red skins of and x badgers 'skins, $ brought them. .. , Every one that did offer an offering of silver brass brought the Lords’ offer- ' ing; and every man. with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it.” The fine linen was used for the curtains of the tabernacle, the rams' and badgers skins for the second and third covering of the tabernacle. Shittim wood was likely acacia wood, unusually hard and durable. Goats’ hair was used for weaving into cloth and is still common among the Arabs in the desert. Vs. 25. 26. “And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen. . . And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats ’hair.’’ Women who were “wise-hearted” were unusually skilled in the art of weaving. The women who had no gifts of gold or silver, gave of their labors. The goats’ hair was spun into yarp t . which was.wwen into fabric from which eleven large curtains were made to form a tent over the tabernacle.
