Exodus 39

Chapter 39

Making the priestly garments.  Again, these are not the instructions on how to make it, but a recounting of the actual work being carried out.  One might unravel some of the instructions by comparing them to the work accomplished.  Maybe. 

This verse:

11 and the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond; [Exo 39:11 ESV]

Which three tribes were represented by these?  These seem to me to be the most precious stones used.

Doesn't really say here...nor in 28:18 where the instructions are given.  I doubt that this is the birth order...that method gives Judah, Zebulon, and Issachar.  So probably not this.  Would make a good study.  I'm sure someone has deciphered it.

All the work of the tabernacle finished and presented to Moses.  This is the concluding verse:

43 And Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it; as the LORD had commanded, so had they done it. Then Moses blessed them. [Exo 39:43 ESV]

So all the parts and pieces of the Tabernacle are finished.
