Once again, all these details are important because this is the place that God is going to dwell among men. Notice that a key aspect of the Bible so far is that God is coming to His people – He is stopping at nothing to ensure that they know Him. After all the pieces are completed – the glory of the Lord dwells with the tabernacle. The people have Him dwelling with them – which is a huge step in the history of man – don't you think? Obviously this is the start of what will be completed with Christ – God dwells with us actually as a man in this world. He submitted Himself to the lowly for the sake of bringing everything to Him again – by redeeming it! This is the beginning of this, and if it is seeming repetitive, please look beyond it to see the significance – the God who parted the Red Sea will now dwell in a tent with the people He claimed as His own.
