Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 37:1-9

I. It may be thought strange that Moses, when he had recorded so fully the instructions given him upon the mount for the making of all these things, should here record as particularly the making of them, when it might have sufficed only to have said, in a few words, that each of these things was made exactly according to the directions before recited. We are sure that Moses, when he wrote by divine inspiration, used no vain repetitions; there are no idle words in scripture. Why then are so... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 37:10-24

Here is, 1. The making of the table on which the show-bread was to be continually placed. God is a good householder, that always keeps a plentiful table. Isa. the world his tabernacle? His providence in it spreads a table for all the creatures: he provides food for all flesh. Isa. the church his tabernacle? His grace in it spreads a table for all believers, furnished with the bread of life. But observe how much the dispensation of the gospel exceeds that of the law. Though here was a table... read more

Here is, 1.

God is the best, and we must serve him with the best we have; but the best we can... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 37:1-29

And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood ,.... Jarchi says, because he gave his mind to this work more than the rest of the wise men, it is called by his name. It is a notion of some Jewish writers that the ark was made by Bezaleel, without the help of others; but there is no sufficient reason to be given for it; for other things are equally ascribed to him in this and the following chapter, as the mercy seat with the cherubim, the shewbread table, the candlestick of pure gold, the two... read more
