Exodus 39:36-43
39:36 the table, all its utensils, and the Bread of the Presence;
39:37 the pure
1 lampstand, its lamps, with the lamps set in order, and all its accessories, and oil for the light;
39:38 and the gold altar, and the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense; and the curtain for the entrance to the tent;
39:39 the bronze altar and its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils; the large basin with its pedestal;
39:40 the hangings of the courtyard, its posts and its bases, and the curtain for the gateway of the courtyard, its ropes and its tent pegs, and all the furnishings
2 for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;
39:41 the woven garments for serving
3 in the sanctuary, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments for his sons to minister as priests.
39:42 The Israelites did all the work according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses.
39:43 Moses inspected 4 all the work – and 5 they had done it just as the Lord had commanded – they had done it exactly – and Moses blessed them. 6
1 tn Possibly meaning “pure gold lampstand.”
2 tn Heb “utensils, vessels.”
3 tn The form is the infinitive construct; it means the clothes to be used “to minister” in the holy place.
4 tn Or “examined” (NASB, TEV); NCV “looked closely at.”
5 tn The deictic particle draws attention to what he saw in such a way as to give the reader Moses’ point of view and a sense of his pleasure: “and behold, they…”
6 sn The situation and wording in Exod 39:43 are reminiscent of Gen 1:28 and 31, with the motifs of blessing people and inspecting what has been made.
