Exodus 36-40 | Finishin' the Godhaus
Exodus 36
Moses summoned the people God listed off by name and told 'em to get to work. After a while, they told him that the peope had given more than they needed to build all the stuff, so Moses told the people not to bring any more gifts for the sanctuary.
The craftsmen got to work and made stuff all fancy-like. The full details of the fanciness are available here.
Exodus 37
They made other stuff--the ChestArkThingy, the table, the complicated lamp, and the incense altar. Full details available here.
Exodus 38
The Altar of Burnt Offering was built, along with the bronze washbasin and the courtyard.
This chapter includes an inventory of materials, which is funny because God said he didn't want people to be able to recreate original formulas for an oil and an incense. "But it's totally cool," he apparently thought, "if they make the entire freakin' Godhaus."
Exodus 39
The craftsmen made the ephods, chestpiece, and other clothing for priests. At last, the Godhaus was finished, created to the LORD's specifications, and Moses strode on through with his hard hat on to inspect everything.
"Cool," he said, and blessed the craftsmen.
Exodus 40
God told moses to set up the Godhaus on the first day of their new year (like, around our February or March). "Put the ChestArkThingy inside and a buncha other stuff Matt's gonna read over but not rewrite 'cause what's the point."
God asked Moses to do a bunch of stuff to get the Godhaus in condition for some good old-fashioned worshipin', and Moses did as he was asked.
After the curtains were hung up and everything in place, a cloud covered the Godhaus and the LORD filled it to the point that Moses couldn't even go in. Clearly the LORD needed to go on a diet. Whenever a cloud would cover the Godhaus, the Israelites would follow it on their journey, but if there was no Godhaus-cloud, they stayed and chillaxed a bit until they saw it again. The cloud of the LORD hovered over the Godhaus by day and glowed with fire by night, because the LORD paid his visual effects team very well. This continued throughout the rest of the Israelites' journeys.

| Moses said "cool!" a number of times, often following it up with "aaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy!" before being sued by Henry Winkler. |
