Commentary and Questions to Ponder

Then set up the Tabernacle according to the manner of it that you were shown on the mountain. (Exodus 26:30) Set up the Tabernacle. That is, have your experts do so. Or perhaps it meant
 that
 Moses
 himself
 was
 to
 set
 up
 the
 Tabernacle
 the
 rst
 time

 with
 the
 help
 of
 others, for it took many hands to set up the Tabernacle. (Ibn Ezra) God showed Moses either blueprints, pictures, or a model of the Tabernacle. The Tabernacle is not to be a product of human creativity but must conform exactly to
 divine
 specications
 (One
 cannot
 approach
 God
 except
 [by
 the
 ways
 that]
 He
 commands
 [Judah
 Halevi,
 Kuzari].










 (Jewish
 Study
 Bible)

 Does
 Ibn
 Ezra
 mean
 that
 the
 image
 of
 the
 Tabernacle
 revealed
 to
 Moses
 was
 so



 complex
 that
 it
 required
 many
 people
 working
 together
 to
 assemble
 it?


 Or
 does
 he
 mean
 to
 say
 that
 the
 process
 of
 cooperation,
 teamwork,
 and
 community



 participation
 was
 an
 integral
 aspect
 of
 Gods
 revelatory
 message?


 How
 would
 such
 a
 teaching
 nd
 application
 in
 our
 own
 experience
 of
 Jewish
 life
 and



 community?

 In
 what
 aspects
 of
 Jewish
 life
 is
 it
 accurate
 to
 say
 that
 we,
 too,
 must
 rely
 on
 Gods



 blueprint

 on
 divine
 commands

 and
 when
 is
 personal
 expression
 and
 individual



 creativity
 indispensable?


 Notwithstanding
 the
 Kuzaris
 comment,
 how
 does
 the
 description
 of
 the
 Tabernacle



 provide
 a
 balanced
 and
 nuanced
 model
 for
 this
 question?
